LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT.

Promises of Good

At a time when the question of national existence, with all it implies is a prominent theme throughout this country, Christian Scientists may well ask themselves to what extent they as individuals are contributing to the general weal.
The authoritative pronouncements of many speakers at the late medical convention in Boston certainly furnish food for thought, and in many respects they give promise of better things.

Our Leader's Article

WE are much pleased to give the place of honor in this issue to our Leader's timely, brave, and significant article, "Personal Contagion," which appears above, because we look upon it as one of the most important statements of inspired truth that she has given to the world since the publication of the Christian Science text-book.

Personal Contagion

THE following letter is so right and requisite that I  hereby endorse it for the benefit of the reader.

A Vital Faith

It is not strange that the coming together of such large numbers of Christian Scientists at their annual Communion and the dedication of the Extension of The Mother Church of Christ, Scientist, should have aroused much interest and called forth much comment.

By Way of Appreciation

We think that all our visitors during the past three weeks will gladly concur in the acknowledgment made by one of them to a reporter for the Boston Transcript, for there can be no question about the generous welcome extended to our friends by the people of Boston.

Regarding Patriotism

The essential of every manifestation of true loyalty is adherence to Principle, and every lesser sense of it invariably leads to selfishness and illiberality.

Greetings

Allow me to say to the good folk of Concord that the growth and prosperity of our metropolis cheer me.
The late Communion and dedicatory service of the Extension of The Mother Church will always be remembered as a notable event, not only in its occasion but in its unity of spirit, its inspiration, its enthusiasm, and its contagious joy.
Our annual Communion and the dedication of the Extension of The Mother Church are over, and this happy and holy experience has become a part of our expanding consciousness of Truth, to abide with us and enable us better to work out the purposes of divine Love.
