The
life of Moses has ever been a source of encouragement and inspiration to all Christian people; and to Christian Scientists it is especially helpful, for the light which is thrown on the Bible through the study of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" enables them to discern and apply the truths hitherto concealed by age-long belief in false doctrines.
A Class
of young men in a Christian Science Sunday school, ranging in age from eighteen up to twenty, were discussing the lesson of the day, when one of the number repeated a statement which he said was the spiritual interpretation of a Scripture text which had just been read and which was in the Christian Science Bible Lesson for that day.
One
of the great joys of Christian Science in my experience is to look back upon the numerous landmarks in my progress and at each step see the convincing proofs of Love's guidance and protection,—how, coincident with my "radical reliance on Truth".
At
this time of the world's great need, the wish has been expressed in the United States of America from those in authority that every able-bodied man shall work, and the expression of this wish has given general satisfaction.
"At a time of contagious disease, Christian Scientists endeavor to rise in consciousness to the true sense of the omnipotence of Life, Truth, and Love, and this great fact in Christian Science realized will stop a contagion.
A doctor's letter in a recent issue, commenting upon an article in The Christian Science Monitor, which protested against compulsory physical examination of school children, contains several misstatements as well as considerable evidence of bad logic.
"I can scarcely express the gratitude I feel at this time for the fact that it has been our joy and privilege, during the growing years of our children, to have the life and activities of our home based on the teachings of Christian Science.
We
seldom realize the great change which has come over the world's consciousness in the last half century, and even less perhaps do we foresee the greater changes which will inevitably come in the next fifty years.

I have just been reading the testimonies in the Sentinel, as is my custom always on its arrival, and I am so filled with gratitude for the healing of all those of whom I have read that I feel impelled to give my own beautiful healing to the world that those who are still suffering may be encouraged and those healed may rejoice as I rejoiced that Christian Science heals mental as well as physical disorders.
The desire to express my gratitude in every available manner for the benefits received through the teachings of Christian Science leads me to give to the field my experience in Christian Science healing.
When Christian Science found me I was a physical wreck, suffering from heart trouble in its worst form, stomach disorder, Bright's disease, gallstones, frequent attacks of appendicitis, and fear of having inherited lung trouble, as my mother's family had passed on with this disease.
For many years I seemed to be thoroughly under the laws of medicine and hygiene, my husband having been a physician and druggist, but there came a time when these so-called laws were all proved absolutely useless, as eight physicians had failed to give even relief to a member of my family who was suffering from what was considered a very dangerous form of nervousness.
I have had so many proofs of the healing and regenerating power of Christian Science that words seem inadequate to express the deep sense of gratitude I feel for having been brought to a knowledge of this beautiful truth.
After witnessing the healing of my aunt by Christian Science I took up its study, and I soon realized that it must be the same truth which Jesus taught and practiced.
