THE AWAKENING

The Easter season just past has wonderful lessons for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear.

MRS. EDDY SENDS THANKS

Mrs.
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.

THE EASTER KNOWING

Nothing is more wonderful in life, nothing more prophetic of the fruition of the highest hopes of the race, than the cry of triumph which, in the midst of human tragedy, is often heard denying apparent defeat.
