Signs of the Times

with contributions from Alfred Grant Walton

[Rev. Dr. Alfred Grant Walton, as quoted in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, New York]

Christian Scientists have a living and a radiant faith. Religion is not a perfunctory thing with them, but it is a joy and a sustaining influence in their work, a practical element in their everyday lives. Christian Scientists attend church with amazing regularity, putting others to shame by their devotion. Regardless of weather conditions or other attractions which may be offered, these people go to church and liberally support their church financially. No Christian Science church is dedicated until all bills are paid. Christian Scientists think kindly of other people. It is a part of their teaching that evil thoughts are injurious to themselves and also others. They read their Bibles every day, and, what is more, they study them. They are generous seekers after truth. I know of no other religious group which is so devoted to the daily reading of the Bible as these people.

This group has not yielded to that modern tendency which denies the existence of God altogether, or resolves Him simply into a form of gigantic mechanism; for Christian Scientists believe that God is everywhere, . . . and they fill their world with trust and hope.
