BECAUSE
of unmistakable glimpses of the Science of being, the perception of an actual existence here and now of that which is nonexistent to mere bodily sense, Christian Scientists are Christian Scientists.
IN
human experience one often finds to-day, as did the patriarch Abraham, that the call comes to go out to a land that "I will shew thee," that we know not of.

many of us in the early study of Christian Science have been puzzled by the apparently disquieting statement in the ninth chapter of Proverbs, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom"?

study of Christian Science adds to the store of each of its students a clarified knowledge of the truth which heals, and renews his courage to make a better fight to gain dominion over all evil.
