Don't you feel we can probably do better in having an open, caring affection for each other—among Christian Science teachers? practitioners? church members?
Selfless love among loyal members of the Christian community helped make the early Christian Church a bloc that no hammering of persecution could break. And what an obvious difference this spirit of love and unity makes in a church or in a Christian Science Students Association! It's like walking out of a patch of fog and into a field full of sunshine. Love makes church a place where people want to be. Who doesn't want to feel genuinely loved and cared about?
We're talking about much more than easy, informal friendliness. It's not a superficial smile and skillful social conversation, without a changed life underneath, that make a difference. It's the genuine spirit of the Christ.
