Christian Scientists
should ever be mindful of the important fact that the world as a rule bases its estimate of the faith they profess upon the manner in which it is presented and lived by themselves.
If
we will pause to examine ourselves and very humbly look back over the way we have come, we shall see that when we have experienced failure instead of winning the expected victory, it has oftentimes been because we have had too much confidence in ourselves and have failed to obey the divine commandments.
When
the student of Christian Science calls upon a practitioner for aid, in the seeker's consciousness there is usually the desire for some definite result to be brought about.
Christian Scientists
are not politicians in the commonly accepted sense of the term, but they strive to follow the example of their Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, who wrote.
Ralph W. Still, Committee on Publication for the State of Texas,
In the "To-day" column of a recent issue of the Times statements appear concerning the teachings of Christian Science, for the correction of which I would be pleased to have you allow space.

There are, perhaps, no words of Shakespeare more widely known than these which proclaim the beauty and desirability of divine mercy; and all certainly are wise who cherish this quality in their heart of hearts, allowing it to bring forth fruit after its own kind.
Wonderful
it is to think that the children of Israel came to understand the loving-kindness of God as they did, came to apprehend in no small degree the fact that God is Love! One has only to study the psalms, those songs of the Hebrews, to notice how strong their conviction of God's loving-kindness had become, and because of it how they were learning to place their trust in His protecting care.
Testimonies of healings brought about at authorized lectures on Christian Science will be published in The Christian Science Journal or the Christian Science Sentinel, when verified as are other testimonies appearing in the periodicals.
I wish so much to thank God for all the good I have received since knowing of Christian Science, and especially for the overcoming of much fear in my life.
