the question is asked why Christian Scientists study daily the Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly and then go to church on Sunday to hear it read from the desk.
IF
we consider man from a material standpoint, as having been created materially or as being a creator, we enter immediately into a chaos of false relationships.
Charles W. J. Tennant, District Manager of Committees on Publication for Great Britain and Ireland,
A clergyman, speaking in the Malvern Baptist Church some days ago, is reported in your recent issue to have said that Christian Science is not a religion.
Francis Lyster Jandron, Committee on Publication for the State of Michigan,
In spite of a characteristic desire to be fair to teachings with which he is personally out of sympathy, a doctor quite missed the mark when he attempted to answer a question about Christian Science in the radio address reported in your columns recently.
Lester B. McCoun, Committee on Publication for the State of Nebraska,
Since a contributor to your paper voluntarily introduced the subject of Christian Science, and offered some explanations of the Christian Science religion in such a manner as to infer that Christian Science is wrong on the points discussed, it seems rather inconsistent for him now to say that he does not wish to expound the faith of another.

Christ Jesus healed not only those who came to him singly, but also, on occasion, the multitude which, attracted by his growing fame as the divine healer, thronged him whenever his whereabouts became known, the Scriptures bear convincing testimony.

Nearly twenty years ago, when Christian Science came to my notice, I was under a doctor's care, and had been warned to avoid all worry and excitement, to be extremely careful to eat no more meat or eggs, and to stop smoking; but after reading the chapter on Prayer in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, I promptly forgot the doctor's advice.
To know and feel confident that, living according to God's will, I can expect to live harmoniously, and not to be perpetually suffering physically and mentally, is what I have learned from Christian Science.
Having had a slight knowledge of Christian Science for many years, I received much good from it and realized its protection at various times; but this half-awake condition did not serve to heal when error became very threatening in our home.
When Christian Science first came into my life I was a dissatisfied, restless, temperamental woman, constantly looking for health and happiness and finding them not, for I was looking for them in materiality.
About fifteen years ago a little child led me into the light of Christian Science, which since then has dispelled many doubts and fears, has been our only physician, and has never failed to be an ever present help in daily problems.
FOR
every tear there is a smile somewhere; For every sigh, a song of sweetest cheer; For every sorrow, healing in God's love; For every fear, the thought that He is near.
