There
is a certain statement repeated by Mary Baker Eddy in her writings which, although constituting but a part of her revelation to this age, must have made, within two generations, an incalculable difference to mankind.
It
was Jesus' clear concept of God as divine Love that enabled him to heal the sick, reform the sinner, and raise the dead, and that set the standard of progress for all time.
How
often have Christian Scientists allowed themselves to be puzzled and discouraged because, although they had done their metaphysical work as well as they knew how, the material problem seemed still to be unsolved.
Prophetic
vision not alone sees the spiritual idea as inherent in the divine Mind, but sees that idea as it journeys along the ages expressing itself in some form of blessedness for which humanity has been groping.
The

The article contributed to the columns of a recent issue on the subject of "National Hospital Day" would be appropriate and unobjectionable were it not that it includes offensive, erroneous, unjust, and uncalled-for accusations against Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, against her teachings, and against Christian Scientists in general.
Miss V. M. Blanche Stievenard, Committee on Publication for Hertfordshire,

Hugh Stuart Campbell, Committee on Publication for the State of Illinois,

I am offering my experience and healing in Christian Science with the hope and assurance that some others who are seeking the truth may also be healed and blessed as I have been.
I am grateful to Christian Science and to Mary Baker Eddy, who brought it to mankind, for happiness and a peace and quietness within, which I never knew until I took up this study.
Before taking up the study of Christian Science in earnest about eight years ago, I was continually suffering from severe headaches, nervousness, loneliness, and weakness.
I attended my first Christian Science service several years ago out of curiosity, but immediately knew Christian Science was the truth I had been looking for.
Articles from members of The Mother Church and good testimonies from those healed by Christian Science are always welcomed for consideration by the Editors.
