Some
months ago my daughter and I sent the names of three persons as subscribers to the Sentinel for six months, hoping thereby to interest them in Christian Science.
As a subscriber, you can download any Sentinel issue published within the last 90 days (PDF, eBook, and audio). You can also take a look inside each issue as it originally appeared in print, starting with the very first issue from 1898.
