Editorial March 20, 1902 Issue

The Lesson Sermons

Editor

We have received requests for the republication of the editorial contained in The Christian Science Journal for May, 1899, explaining the scope and construction of the Lesson-Sermons as they are prepared by the Lesson Committee and published in the Christian Science Quarterly. One of these requests gives as a reason for making the same, that many persons have become interested in and affiliated with Christian Science since the publication of this article in the Journal and Sentinel, and that such explanation having proved helpful to the students at the time of its publication, will prove equally helpful to the more recent students.

In compliance with these requests, therefore, we take pleasure in republishing the article.

Although published as editorial matter, the articles which appeared in recent issues of the Christian Science Sentinel under the head of "The Christian Science Sermon," were written by a member of the Bible Lesson Committee. They were written, therefore, from an intelligent standpoint. The writer spoke with a knowledge born of experience in the preparation of the lessons, a careful study of their purpose, their method, their construction, and their spirit. The members of this committee, next to our Leader, are better able than others to point out these elements of the lessons, and we are glad to have had the privilege of presenting this series of helps to the Field. All must have profited by their perusal. If any have thus far failed to do so, they would do well to lose no further time. This is especially true of the Readers. Having familiarized themselves with the plan and order of arrangement of the lessons, they are better fitted to perform their function as instruments for voicing the healing Truth contained therein.
