Editorial May 2, 1903 Issue

Our Periodicals

M

Much of the work on the Sentinel and the other official publications of our denomination has been done with a view of making them available and effective agencies in overcoming the many misunderstandings and prejudices engendered by ignorant and malicious criticism of Christian Science and of our Leader, and we are greatly encouraged to believe that much has been accomplished in this direction. The Sentinel and Journal have been especially useful in this regard with members of the legislatures wherein so-called medical bills have been introduced.

Another point kept steadily in view by the editors is that our periodicals prove educational with regard to the teachings of Christian Science, and carry hope, encouragement, and healing to the despondent, despairing, and sick who see them for the first time. That results of the kind indicated follow the circulation of our literature is shown by the testimonies published from time to time.

Still another thought continually present with the editors is that our publications be of good literary quality, and distinctly Christian and Scientific in tone, in order that they may appeal to people of culture and to those who are disposed, in the beginning, to look askance at the coupling of the words Christian and Science. How well this part of their work has been done must be left to the critical judgment of our readers.
