Gratitude
for a year of unparalleled growth in all its activities was the keynote of the annual meeting of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, which was held in the church edifice, Falmouth and Norway Streets, Boston, Monday afternoon, June 5.
One
of the earliest and ablest of the secretaries of state of the Union, in explaining the word of which we hear so much in these momentous times, says, "The state of neutrality recognizes the cause of both parties to the contest as just—that is, it avoids all consideration of the merits of the contest.
As
the student of Christian Science advances, hundreds of incidents that before were heedlessly passed over now show forth distinet lessons, and to illustrate some point in his argument he is likely to find himself referring to this or that happening.
The Philadelphia Press in its usual Saturday discussion of the International Sunday School Lessons recently made some interesting comments on the subject of healing as set forth in the ninth chapter of Acts, and as the views expressed therein are far in advance of those more commonly given out in explanation of these so-called miracles, we are glad to republish the article in full.
In a report of the sermon of an evangelist at Port Carbon, reference is made to Christian Science as being a "new-fangled gospel," on which I would ask the courtesy of brief comment.
In reply to a letter in a recent issue, permit me to point out that if healing as Jesus taught and practised it had depended upon his personal presence and influence, it would necessarily have ceased in the year thirty-three; but we have abundant proof that it did not cease then.
The sermon on the effect of the war on religion, as reported in your paper, contains the following sentence: "Christian Science has provided nothing for the soldiers.

One morning, while reaching up to a shelf for a bottle of toilet ammonia, I accidentally tipped the bottle over, and the ammonia poured down into my eyes and throat; but with the slight understanding I then had of Christian Science I treated myself, knowing and declaring that God is "a very present help in trouble.
A few months ago one of my fingers began to trouble me; but I paid little attention to it and went on with my work, all the time endeavoring to know that I could not be hindered from doing so.
I am grateful for the healing received through Christian Science about four years ago, and herewith send a few words of gratitude which may be of benefit to others who are seeking the truth.
I am indeed thankful for the privilege of expressing my gratitude to God for sending His beloved Son, Christ Jesus, to show us that we too are His children.
We are instructed to rejoice always, and through the study of Christian Science we soon learn to do so, not only at all times but under all circumstances and conditions.
