----100 years ago

Sentinel staff with contributions from Bishop Hopkins, Spurgeon, R.T. Watson, John Ruskin, The Examiner

Gathering news stories with a spiritual perspective week by week, we wondered what kinds of material the Sentinel of a century ago carried. We found the magazine Mary Baker Eddy was publishing in its early years filled with newsy, topical essays, articles, jokes, and tidbits—often excerpted from other magazines and newspapers—that spoke to a broad world audience. Here is a glimpse into the Sentinel of about 100 years ago.

Patience is the ballast of the soul, that will keep it from rolling and tumbling in the great storm.
