What The Christian Science Monitor brings
to this side of the Atlantic
is more than
paper, ink, and words.
There are ideas there, spiritual
facts that evidence the precedence of the Christ
in human thought.
Facts that help one to see, with uncluttered objectivity,
the needs of mankind
and the truth of man.
Facts that push open the sealed portals
of mortal thought—push them outward and upward,
then penetrate inward and downward
with healing light—
cleansing sight.
Living at the heartbeat of a continent
is not always easy.
It all seems very close here—Cyprus, Belfast, Beirut.
Bombarded
by erupting ideologies,
crumbling theologies,
prisons of "isms,"
one learns to stand, and stand fast—
the world's need is but
a hand's grasp
away.
Instant spiritual maturity is the order of the day.
