The Christian Science board of Directors Di-rectors today placed "prayer" at the top of the list of defensive and offensive weapons that free-thinking free-thinking peoples are counting upon to win the global war against oppression and suppression. In a statement to the annual ' meeting of the Mother Church, the First Church of Christ, Scientist, Scien-tist, in Boston, Massachusetts, the directors first emphasized the word "prayer," then followed with the term "miracle of deliverance" which is to be accepted, they said, as the logical answer to righteous prayer. Thus, deliverance from the hand of the oppressor was seen by the directors to be no miracle at all, but rather a simple witnessing wit-nessing to the fact that power springs from the prayer of understanding. un-derstanding. "A praying people can never suffer defeat,'" summarized the directors' remarks to several thousand Christian Scientists as- selmbed in the Mother Church. . The Directors also announced ! the election of Mrs. Daisette D.S. McKenzie of Cambridge, Massachusetts, Massa-chusetts, as President of the Mother Church for the ensuing year, succeeding Mrs. Elisabeth F. Norwood, of Brooklme, Massachusetts. |
