Dear Reader

with contributions from The Editors

Recently we had a letter from a man who had been reading the Christian Science Sentinel on a London bus. The woman who sat next to him asked what he was reading. He immediately offered the Sentinel to her. "Hmm, Christian healing," she mused, as she accepted the copy. "I could do with a bit of that!"

Increasing numbers of people in the world are expressing similar sentiments. In the last few years, a steady stream of deeply moving letters has begun arriving from those finding for the very first time the scientific Christianity shared by the Sentinel.

But, at the same time, Sentinel circulation (and that of The Christian Science Journal as well) has declined markedly. New orders have sometimes been up encouragingly but not enough to offset losses of subscribers. Expenses, on the other hand, have risen drastically for postage, paper, and printing.
