Letters to the Sentinel

with contributions from Elizabeth J. Sleeper, H. Sue Stones, Janet T. Colman

Dear Sentinel:— Four years ago, when I had been reading Science and Health for about three months, I went to visit my husband's people, who were stanch Methodists. During a conversation on the subject the dear father, whose religious living I had always respected so much, said, "Daisy, your new religion will lead you to hell." That was a pretty hard thing to have said to me then by one whom I loved dearly, but I had gained enough of the Truth not to be moved.

This last winter our boys subscribed for the Sentinel for six months to be sent to grandpa. After he had received it several weeks, we went to visit him again and we found many beautiful evidences that the Truth, as it comes through the Sentinel, had changed the thought of this dear one greatly. After reading in the Sentinel the account of the Communion service, the meeting in Tremont Temple, and Mrs. Eddy's address, he said he had never heard of such a wonderful religious demonstration. At another time before a room full he said he would not dare to say that Christian Science would not be the coming religion, such rapid strides as it had already made.

After looking to see if there is any word from Mrs. Eddy, I look for the "Questions and Answers." The answers to the questions one has to meet for oneself or others so often are answered in a clear, helpful way. The explanation of the chastisement of Love was very plain. I thank God and Mrs. Eddy and all the dear ones, publishers and contributors, that we are privileged to have such reading as comes to us through the Christian Science Publishing Society.
