Koch-Meisen Calls Knowledge, Prayer Means to End War

Scientific prayer is indispensable to world peace, a prominent Christian Scientist declared last night in Paine Hall. Mrs. Lona Koch-Meisen, whose talk was sponsored by the Christian Science Organization at Harvard, is a member of the Board of Lectureship of Boston's First Church of Christ the Scientist.

"Peace can never be won by means outside ourselves; it can only come through the inner means of correct understanding of God," she explained. This correct understanding of God leads to an acknowledgement of the present perfection of both God and man, which in turn leads us to deny the existence of the ungodly.

"We are then free from fear, sin, disease, and grief; we are aware of God's all-presence," Mrs. Koch-Meisen continued. A realization that there is one Mind annuls the belief that there are many conflicting minds, and the tensions that create warfare thus disappear, she said.

She concluded with an appeal to the modern world to recognize that God is love: "When we know God as unchanging love and understand that man, God's idea, is the expression of love, we bring into operation the law of love, which blesses and brings harmony to all mankind."

Authorities said that there was a possibility that Pahlavi had a "particular type of student's visa " which would provide diplomatic privilege.
