Our Journal and Sentinel

Ella W. Hoag

There is no question but that Mrs. Eddy was specifically and divinely guided by God, divine Mind, in her establishment of the various activities of The Mother Church. Perhaps in no one of them has this always been more plainly evident than when she inaugurated The Christian Science Journal and Christian Science Sentinel; and her interest in both these publications ever continued uninterrupted and unabated.

There is probably no Christian Scientist who does not hold these periodicals with some degree of appreciation. That our valuation of our Leader's work in this direction may ever be a progressive one, it may seem wise occasionally to turn thought to them more specifically and allow their meaning and advantages to unfold more fully.

The Manual requires that these publications shall be watched over most carefully, and only the most consecrated dependence on divine Mind can keep them correct in expression of both the letter and the spirit of Christian Science. Earnest Christian Scientists cannot value them too highly, since they are so clearly a part of the weekly and monthly provision whereby God feeds His people with that "bread of life" which is so requisite to constant spiritual progress.
