Impersonal Apostles

IRENE LOUISE OPPENHEIM

THE keynote of right distribution of the Christian Science periodicals is surely contained in our Master's words, as recorded in the seventeenth chapter of John's Gospel, "I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them," and in our Leader's reference to the periodicals in the Church Manual (p. 44), where she calls them the "organs" of her church. As Jesus gave the words which came to him from God to those who were ready to receive them, so also did he send forth these followers of his to carry the truth to others.

The Christian Science periodicals were the outcome of Mrs. Eddy's desire to share with all the world the truth which had been given her of God; and each issue to-day is the result of the understanding of God which has come to Christian Scientists as a consequence of her teachings. And so, to-day, these periodicals go into all the world, impersonal apostles, to "preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things."
