WITHIN
the past few years, since the very general attendance of Christian Scientists from all over the world has become a feature incident to the Communion in the Mother Church, a custom has grown up which merits serious consideration.
JESUS'
suggestive words, "How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!" have been supposed to appeal especially to those who, like the rich young man, have large wealth; but when these words are considered in the light of the Master's other saying, "A man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth;" they come to have a meaning which is of much broader application.
WE
are very glad that one of our valued contributors to this issue of the Sentinel has called attention to the desirability of immediate and generous liberality in the matter of the Building Fund of the Mother Church, and we heartily concur in his statement that "the time is at hand, now, for this entire donation to be specifically subscribed as to amount and date of payment.
WE
are pleased to report in this issue of the Sentinel the defeat of another attempt at class legislation, having for its purpose he prohibition of the practice of Christian Science.
We
are assured that the change of date of the communion service and annual meeting will not interfere with arrangements now being made with the railroads for reduced rates, and that the same liberal terms will be granted for the new date, June 28 to July 1, as were promised for June 14-17.
