THINKERS

Annie M. Knott

One of the first statements in our text-book is this: "The time for thinkers has come".

We are asked by a correspondent to state the attitude of Christian Scientists toward the miracles of the Old and New Testaments, specifically whether they believe that Jesus walked the water or that Daniel was cast into the lions' den without harm to him; and as these questions appear to be asked in good faith, we see no reason why they should not be answered in the same spirit in which they are propounded.

REVISION OF CREEDS

Annie M. Knott

For a number of years the most strictly orthodox people, both in this country and in Great Britain, have been wrestling with the question of a restatement of doctrines, such as would make possible greater unity between the different religious bodies and be more in harmony with the spirit of the times than are the dogmas of the past.

We are printing in this issue of the Sentinel the full text of the affidavits filed in the Court in Concord on Friday and Saturday of last week, and as these documents occupy considerable space we have been compelled to increase our number of pages to twenty-eight for this issue.

THE MAY MAGAZINES

Editor

Of the May magazines which contain articles on Christian Science it is difficult to select any particular one as most useful for circulation by Christian Scientists, but The Cosmopolitan will, we think, naturally appeal to them as being valuable for this purpose because of the character of Mr.

"CONSIDER THE LILIES"

John B. Willis

The frequency with which Christ Jesus alluded to the phenomena of nature in the illustration and enforcement of his teaching, and the explicit counsel which he gave his hearers that they think upon the birds and flowers,—these facts leave no question as to his attitude toward the gentle and beautiful things about us, nor as to what our attitude should be.
