Christian Science and the Press

With the majesty of meekness, and clothed in the beauty of holiness, our consecrated Leader stood before nearly three thousand of her rescued ones, at the Annual Meeting, June 6, and declared that God's promised blessing was in that hour bestowed upon His children. Standing in "the watch tower in the wilderness" (2 Chronicles, 20 : 24), she saw the destruction of the enemy before her followers realized that God had gone before.

Our Leader said, "The divine Law hath said to us, 'Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and, prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of Hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.' There is with us at this hour this great, great blessing."

How great that blessing is we are just beginning to see. The news—the health-giving news—first of the Communion service and the Gospel Message, then of the visit of our Leader to Boston and her address, then of the magnificent choral testimony for Truth at Tremont Temple—all this news of peace and health on earth and good will toward men, flooded the press of Boston, and was sent reverberating over telegraph wires to the uttermost parts of the earth through the instrumentality of the Associated Press. This was the best news the daily press of the world ever published, for it went forth from the Great Heart of Love fraught with power to heal the sick.
