We
think it well, thus early in the new year, to republish the remarks, under the above title, which appeared in the Sentinel of February 23, and the Journal for March, 1899.
We
have recently spoken of the satisfaction afforded us by the generous manner in which our co-workers of the Field have supported our publications, in the way of writing articles and testimonials.
The
account of Jesus' appearance upon this earth as given in the Gospel of Saint Mark is unlike that of the other gospels in that it makes no mention of his material birth.
We
like very much the spirit and tone of the following extract from a letter recently received by us from an earnest and active Christian Scientist, and venture to express the hope that a similar spirit will enter into the articles and contributions of all who write for our periodicals, for it is the truly Christian Science point of view.
In
the choice of gifts for the holidays, or any other season, Christian Scientists need not experience the perturbation usually attending the appropriate selection of a remembrance; for in the Mary Baker Eddy Souvenir Spoon they will find a gift both intrinsically valuable and of inestimable worth through tender associations.
We
ask that the churches of Christ, Scientist, shall not withhold their "Resolutions" and touching expressions of gratitude so spontaneously begun, but will forward them to the editor as heretofore requested.
It
is unnecessary for us to say that methods of advertising akin to those of quack doctors and venders of patent nostrums are not countenanced by Christian Scientists.
