In the article entitled "Unique Gift from Germany," appearing in a recent issue of the Concord Monitor, and republished in the Sentinel of January 4, the following statement occurred :—
Word comes to us from Michigan that a man claiming to be a Christian Scientist is traveling about the country and, upon the strength of plausible stories, getting money from Christian Scientists.
We
think it well, thus early in the new year, to republish the remarks, under the above title, which appeared in the Sentinel of February 23, and the Journal for March, 1899.
We
have recently spoken of the satisfaction afforded us by the generous manner in which our co-workers of the Field have supported our publications, in the way of writing articles and testimonials.
The
account of Jesus' appearance upon this earth as given in the Gospel of Saint Mark is unlike that of the other gospels in that it makes no mention of his material birth.
We
like very much the spirit and tone of the following extract from a letter recently received by us from an earnest and active Christian Scientist, and venture to express the hope that a similar spirit will enter into the articles and contributions of all who write for our periodicals, for it is the truly Christian Science point of view.
In
the choice of gifts for the holidays, or any other season, Christian Scientists need not experience the perturbation usually attending the appropriate selection of a remembrance; for in the Mary Baker Eddy Souvenir Spoon they will find a gift both intrinsically valuable and of inestimable worth through tender associations.
