When
the Christian Scientist glances backward with a song of gratitude to God in his heart, he sees the road he has traveled, and remembers the distress he went through when, in the midst of a tumultuous worldly life, nothing gave any hope of deliverance; he recalls how his pursuit of happiness was vain and deceptive until the day when a faint light appeared, very faint at first and seemingly very far away, but full of promise.

Cecil Barnes, Committee on Publication for Natal, South Africa,
Your report of the proceedings at Tuesday's meeting of the Natal Diocesan Synod has been read with mixed feelings of sadness and joy; sadness that the Anglican church should have to admit loss of ground by default, and joy that the Christian churches are showing signs of bringing to fulfillment the prophecy of Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of the Christian Science movement.
