WHO'S IN CHARGE?

From the November 2008 issue of The Christian Science Journal

When the founder of this magazine, Mary Baker Eddy, was asked about her politics, she said: "I have none, in reality, other than to help support a righteous government; to love God supremely, and my neighbor as myself" (The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 276).
