Wednesday, March 10, 2010 UPDATE By Frank Sanders @ 11:40 AM :: 0 Views :: 0 Comments :: Boston Globe, December, 1904]       HOW STRIFE MAY BE STILLED-3      The Principle of all power is God, and God is Love.  Whatever brings into human thought or action an element opposed to Love, is never requisite, never a necessity, and is not sanctioned by the law of God, the law of Love. The Founder of Christianity said: "My peace I give unto you:  not as the world giveth, give I unto you."  (Eddy, Mary Baker, The First Church of Christ, Scientist and Miscellany, p.278:29-5)

Tuesday, March 09, 2010 UPDATE By Frank Sanders @ 11:36 AM :: 1 Views :: 0 Comments :: Boston Globe, December, 1904]       HOW STRIFE MAY BE STILLED-2      Peace is the promise and reward of rightness. Governments have no right to engraft into civilization the burlesque of uncivil economics. War is in itself an evil, barbarous, devilish. Victory in error is defeat in Truth.  War is not in the domain of good; war weakens power and must finally fall, pierced by its own sword.   (Eddy, Mary Baker, The First Church of Christ, Scientist and Miscellany, p.278:23-28)

Sunday, March 07, 2010 UPDATE By Frank Sanders @ 11:29 AM :: 1 Views :: 0 Comments ::      The first demand of this Science is, "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." This me is Spirit.  Therefore the command means this:  Thou shalt have no intelligence, no life, no substance, no    truth, no love, but that which is spiritual. The second is like unto it, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."  It should be thoroughly understood that all men have one Mind, one God and Father, one Life, Truth, and Love.  Mankind will become perfect in proportion as this fact becomes apparent, war will cease and the true brotherhood of man will be established. Having no other gods, turning to no other but the one perfect Mind to guide him, man is the likeness of God, pure and eternal, having that Mind which was also in Christ.  (Eddy, Mary Baker, Science and Health With Key To The Scriptures, p.467:3-16)

Saturday, March 06, 2010 UPDATE By Frank Sanders @ 11:21 AM :: 1 Views :: 0 Comments :: [Boston Herald, March, 1898]       OTHER WAYS THAN BY WAR-5      The government of divine Love is supreme. Love rules the universe, and its edict hath gone forth: "Thou shalt have no other gods before me," and "Love thy neighbor as thyself." Let us have the molecule of faith that removes mountains, — faith armed with the understanding of Love, as in divine Science, where right reigneth.  The revered President and Congress of our favored land are in God's hands.  (Eddy, Mary Baker, The First Church of Christ, Scientist and Miscellany, p.278:7-14)

If His purpose for peace is to be subserved by the battle's plan or by the intervention of the United States, so that the Cubans may learn to make war no more, this means and end will be accomplished.   (Eddy, Mary Baker, The First Church of Christ, Scientist and Miscellany, p.278:1-6)

Thursday, March 04, 2010 UPDATE By Frank Sanders @ 11:16 AM :: 2 Views :: 0 Comments :: [Boston Herald, March, 1898]       OTHER WAYS THAN BY WAR-3      Whatever weighs in the eternal scale of equity and mercy tips the beam on the right side, where the immortal words and deeds of men alone can settle all questions amicably and satisfactorily. But if our nation's rights or honor were seized, every citizen would be a soldier and woman would be armed with power girt for the hour.   (Eddy, Mary Baker, The First Church of Christ, Scientist and Miscellany, p.277:18-23)

Wednesday, March 03, 2010 UPDATE By Frank Sanders @ 11:13 AM :: 2 Views :: 0 Comments :: [Boston Herald, March, 1898]       OTHER WAYS THAN BY WAR-2      A bullet in a man's heart never settles the question of his life. The mental animus goes on, and urges that the answer to the sublime question as to man's life shall come from God and that its adjustment shall be according to His laws. The characters and lives of men determine the peace, prosperity, and life of nations. Killing men is not consonant with the higher law whereby wrong and injustice are righted and exterminated.  (Eddy, Mary Baker, The First Church of Christ, Scientist and Miscellany, p.277:10-17)

I will say I can see no other way of settling difficulties between individuals and nations than by means of their wholesome tribunals, equitable laws, and sound, well-kept treaties.  (Eddy, Mary Baker, The First Church of Christ, Scientist and Miscellany, p.277:1-9)
