"JUDGE RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT."

Archibald McLellan

It seems only fitting at this time to devote a large portion of our space in this issue of the Sentinel to exerpts from the columns upon columns of editorial comment that have appeared in the secular press during the past week,—a tribute in its apprehension and appreciation of the greatness of our beloved Leader and the work she has done for humanity at large, as generous as it is wide-spread.

There is one phase of this comment which is characteristic. Few of the editorial writers lay claim to a personal knowledge of the teachings of Christian Science, but with very few exceptions they concede that its Discoverer and Founder was a wonderful woman and that she wrought a wonderful work; that the world is better and happier because of her, and that wherever this faith has become established its exponents are "living epistles" that make for the general uplift of the community.

It is true that Christian Scientists do not need to be told how truly great is the mission of Christian Science and how much of good it has accomplished. None know better than they the tireless energy, the unfailing watchfulness over its welfare that in the last forty years has gone to its establishment and upbuilding; that there was no fear or faltering on the part of the Leader who set her hand to the fulfilment of her high calling, but it is none the less gratifying when such generous tribute to the greatness of her accomplishment is paid by those who have judged her by the Scriptural standard: "By their fruits ye shall know them."
