Letters to the Sentinel

with contributions from Phebe L. Haines, Mary J. Drake, G. C. P.

Dear Sentinel:—How beautiful and expressive you are in your clean new dress. How significant the "two golden candlesticks" symbolizing the work our beloved Journal and Sentinel are doing, to enlighten a sensual, sleeping, world. "Thy Word is a lamp unto my. feet, and a light unto my path." How loud the clarion voice of Truth and Love cries out to every one of us, in this last number, "Watch! Watch and pray without ceasing!" And our hearts answer back, "Through God's grace we will."

We feel that the workers throughout the Field are reaching forth to hold up the hands of the faithful ones that they faint not till the warfare is ended. We never felt so deep a sense of gratitude to God for Christian Science, and such a great debt of love to its Discoverer, our faithful, watchful Mother, who never deserts her post of "spiritual observation and prayer," not even for one moment. We greatly desire to express in our feeble way our love and appreciation for this care. Also to the faithful workers who constitute our Publishing Society. Stalwart, faithful watchmen are you, on the walls of Zion,—towers thereof, marking well her bulwarks.

The events of this hour, we feel have roused the whole Field to a more consecrated thought and action, prayer and watchfulness, than ever before; and we feel that every worker's heart goes out to God for greater wisdom and strength. May we be more loyal and obedient to divine Principle, and to our beloved Leader, and unite as one great unit to support the workers in our Publishing Society, that their hands drop not down from weariness; that we help to make and spread this pure literature of Scientific Christianity which our Journal and Sentinel ever contains.
