From the Editors December 8, 1986 Issue

Dear Readers:

The Editors

We thank you for the avalanche of letters about the redesign of the Sentinel. We're still digging out, and we felt this was perhaps the quickest way to let you know how much we value your support, love, and perceptive comment about the new-old Sentinel.

With the exception of a very few who were concerned about specific format changes or were feeling that the purpose of the Sentinel might change (it won't), nearly all caught the spirit of something much more important going on than just a redesign of the format. One letter writer said, "Underneath one feels so cared for and cared about."

In addition, many of you have obviously taken a fresh look at the Sentinel's natural interest for those in need and for "honest seekers for Truth." ^{Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. xii.} You have been taking more definite steps than ever before to share the magazine thoughtfully with others.
