Our Current Literature

BY S. B. D.

Too much cannot be said by way of appreciation of our current literature—the Christian Science Journal and the Christian Science Sentinel. Entering our homes as they do so quietly and unobtrusively, with little effort on our part, except perhaps to renew our annual subscriptions, or pay a few cents for a single copy, these silent messengers of good come laden with blessings

More and more as it seems are these periodicals becoming avenues through which our Leader speaks to her followers and to the world. Indeed, they are her chosen means; and the import of these messages of Truth and Love cannot be too highly estimated or too carefully weighed.

Then, think of the work and wisdom, incident to the bringing out of these weekly and monthly pages, compiling and arranging the voluntary contributions from all parts of the Field; the broad outlook which discerns the needs of the hour, the dangers which best our Cause, or threaten to retard the growth of the individual Scientist, thus giving direction to thought along all the lines of practical Christianity. The current events of the day outside the immediate circle of Christian Science thought, are also carefully scanned and summarized for our use. The turnings and overturnings in human affairs are given a place in these columns, all under the one thought, that "the kingdoms of this world" are to "become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ." This is a great work. Jesus once said, "Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like ... an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old." This seems to be what our editors are doing.
