The "new look" Sentinel

GEOFFREY J. BARRATT

It will be obvious to regular readers that the Sentinel now has a different look. Why the changes?

The outward appearance of our periodicals is not the most important aspect—but it is very important. It was so to their founder, Mary Baker Eddy. Christian Science generates significant and healing thinking about large issues and contemporary ones. It is inevitable that the Editors of its publications aim to keep them contemporary in presentation as well as content. To have one without the other would be inconsistent.

Nevertheless, the spirituality, Christliness, healing usefulness, of the content is of prime importance, as it always will be. In her statement "Something in a Name," defining her God-revealed sense of the role of each periodical, our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, says of the Sentinel that it is "intended to hold guard over Truth, Life, and Love." The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 353; This purpose is always uppermost in the thought of the Editors.
