Circulation Meeting on Behalf of the Periodicals, June 7, 1938

with contributions from Duncan Sinclair, Margaret Williamson, Samuel W. Greene

Address by Duncan Sinclair, Editor of the Journal, Sentinel, and Herald

It is a privilege to say a few words to this meeting as one who is intimately associated with the production of the periodicals, which Christian Scientists value so highly, and which they are doing their best wisely to place in the hands of Christian Scientists and non-Christian Scientists alike.

As I think of the periodicals my thought naturally turns to our Leader. Why should it do so? Because she was the Founder of every one of them. The periodicals were Mrs. Eddy's demonstration, her precious gift to our movement and to mankind. In thinking of her relation to them we cannot fail to appreciate what it must have cost her in prayerful effort to bring each of them into existence. And we can acknowledge now, knowing as we do what the periodicals have accomplished and are accomplishing, how far-sighted she was in establishing them. For they certainly are among the chief influences for good in the world today.
