On Doing Our Best

JESSIE BENNETT
When the student of Christian Science has been for some months, perhaps even a year of two, not only a reader of our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, but a regular attendant at the Sunday services and the midweek testimony meetings, he begins to take some interest in the various activities of the church, as these are unfolded to him, and to look forward to the time when he, as a member of a branch church or society, will have the privilege of sharing in its work, and so, of helping, in his degree, to spread the Christian Science gospel with its glorious message to mankind.

FLORENCE HELEN BOSWELL
Many striking passages in the Bible and in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy show that there is a time to speak and a time to be silent; there is the silence of Jesus and there is the silence of Judas, the silence of spiritual perception and authority which knows the nothingness and powerlessness of sin, and the silence of fear, hypocrisy, and dishonesty which would cover sin for the sake of a convenient peace.
