this hour, when the thought of world peace is uppermost in the minds of men, it is gratifying to realize that the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, gave to the world a practical plan for accomplishing this long-cherished world unity.
THE
disciples must soon have realized that Christ Jesus' understanding of prayer was something quite different from the formal, ritualistic petitions they were accustomed to offer to the Almighty.
HOW
many and varied are the opportunities and blessings which come to all those engaged in the building of a Christian Science church! Far more, indeed, is involved in this true building than simply the erecting of a beautiful visible structure.
IT
is fairly safe to assume that there is hardly a single poet, sage, religionist, philosopher, or in fact any seriously thinking person, who has not spent much time in trying to find a satisfying answer to what has been called "the riddle of the universe," or the divine purpose of existence.
WHAT
joyful ideas are associated with our thoughts of awakening: dawn; the fading darkness and the rising glow of day; all things new; freshness, renewed courage, hope, and opportunity! David, whose vision clearly transcended even the Summum bonum of human sense, said, "I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
THOSE
who have had an opportunity of viewing beauty spots of nature, or who have seen them portrayed in sketches or in paintings, will probably realize that the scene which particularly arrests the attention is the one that includes a reflection.

Christian Scientists do not put on revivals or conduct campaigns openly or secretly to gain followers, or for funds with which to finance its activities.

The purpose of this letter is not to take issue with a clergyman with respect to his syndicated article on tuberculosis and Christian Science, printed in a recent edition of your paper, but to hold out some degree of hope to those who may be struggling with that disease, and to whom his statement must have been decidedly depressing.

To insure that complete lecture notices be printed in the Sentinel, detailed information should reach the Editorial Department regarding lectures in the United States and Canada, at least four weeks before the date of the lecture; in Great Britain and Ireland, at least five weeks before; in other European countries, at least eight weeks before.
An increased sense of gratitude for Christian Science and its Discoverer and Founder, Mary Baker Eddy, comes to me as I think of the opportunities she has given us through the Sentinel, the Journal, and the Wednesday evening testimony meetings to tell of the power of Truth which we have proved in our experience.
Words are inadequate to express the gratitude I feel for the teachings of Christian Science and for the impersonal work that is being done in the world to-day through our literature.
As I study Christian Science the importance of gratitude and of expressing our gratitude is becoming more and more clear to me; therefore, I add my testimony to the many others given by those who have been healed through this wonderful truth.
