Editorial July 4, 1903 Issue

Communion Week

M.

We feel sure that our readers will be satisfied to wait until another issue for any extended editorial comment upon the events of the past few days,—the Communion, with its three immense congregations of quiet, earnest, reverential people; the letter from our Leader; the joyful acceptance of her invitation to visit her at Pleasant View; the hastily planned but successful trip to Concord; Mrs. Eddy's words of loving hospitality and Christian appeal; the generous welcome by the citizens of Concord; the great Annual Meeting; the two inspiring Wednesday evening meetings,—all speak for themselves. Never before has there been so satisfactory a gathering, never before such an outpouring of love. Much of the detail of our experience may be obliterated as the days pass, but the spiritual uplift and the renewed consecration to the service of God which came through this Communion can never be lost.

The words of our Leader repay us for our attendance at these meetings, because they give pause to human strife and turmoil, and direct our thought to God, ever-present Love, "who healeth all our diseases." These great meetings stand forth as an endorsement of her ministry, and of Christian Science as the embodiment of the teachings of Jesus Christ which bring healing to the sick and spiritual quickening, joy, and peace to all mankind.
