Timely Caution

From time to time, there have been exploited by various papers and magazines, voting contests for the most popular, the wittiest, and so on; the person receiving the greatest number of votes to be awarded a prize. It is not our purpose to impugn the motive of those who organize such affairs, but we must protest against the bad taste which thrusts public mention of this kind upon those who do not desire it. The thoughtful and considerate will not yield to the temptation to take part in such contests, and surely a sense of propriety will always save loyal Christian Scientists from the use of our Leader's name in a manner that would be distasteful to her.

Never fear to bring the sublimest motive to the smallest duty, and the most infinite comfort to the smallest troubles.

Phillips Brooks.
