Editorials

One of the most important religious movements of all time was inaugurated when in 1894 our revered Leader ordained the Bible and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" as pastor of The Mother Church, and the intervening years have witnessed a study of the Bible by Christian Scientists such as was never before known.

"CHEER UP"

Under the caption, "Cheer up," The Commercial Bulletin, one of Boston's oldest and most ably edited weeklies, says editorially:—
Christian Science is doing wonders in overcoming the belief that a man's capacities are developed at an early period in his experience, and that then they not only cease to unfold, but instead are likely to diminish.

A RISING TIDE

Our readers will be glad to know that the several bills antagonistic to Christian Science introduced at the present session of the Massachusetts Legislature have been reported adversely by the Committee on Public Health, and that both houses of the Legislature have concurred in these adverse reports.

SPIRITUAL INTERPRETATION

One of the distinguishing signs of the study of Christian Science is an eager desire upon the part of those who read its literature for the spiritual interpretation of the Scriptures.

THE NEW PUBLISHING HOUSE

We are glad to give prominence to the following letter, which discloses the attitude of one who appreciates the needs of our Cause, and the work that is being done by The Christian Science Publishing Society:—
A Complete Concordance to "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," revised from the latest edition of Science and Health, is now on the press and will be ready for delivery in a few days.

PROGRESSIVENESS

One of the distinguishing characteristics of true Christianity has ever been the progressiveness which it not only awakens but maintains.
