ENLARGING OUR BORDERS

Archibald McLellan

In the natural and orderly progress of the Christian Science movement it has been necessary to "enlarge our borders" from time to time, and recently a permanent enlargement of the Sentinel has been one of the way-marks in the growth of our Cause. The Sentinel now comprises twenty pages, an increase of four pages of reading-matter each week, and this increase has been found none too great to meet the demands made upon our space by the greater activity in the Field and by the rapid spread of Christian Science to almost every portion of the civilized world. Our readers may be sure that as the work continues to grow the Sentinel will keep pace with it.

In addition to this four-page enlargement it has been found necessary to improve in other ways this weekly messenger of good things, in order that it may properly represent our Cause, which stands for the best in every department of life. The appearance of the Sentinel has been greatly enhanced during the past few months by the new cover, and our readers will find that a further innovation has been made in this week's issue by the use of better paper for both cover and inside pages. These papers will be used regularly in the future, and we feel sure that the better appearance which they give to the Sentinel will be appreciated.

The increase in the number of pages, and these various changes, have added quite materially to the expense of publication, and it has been found impracticable to continue the Sentinel at the price of one dollar per year, which is much lower than that of other religious weeklies. We have seventeen papers of this class now on our table, and we find that only one of them is priced at less than two dollars per year. Their figures are as follows: one is $1.50, seven are $2.00, three are $2.50, five are $3.00, and one is $3.50.

Commencing April 1, 1907, the subscription price of the Sentinel will be $2.00 for the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Cuba; and $3.00 for all other countries. These rates will apply to all subscriptions which commence on April 1 or later, whether they be new subscriptions or renewals. Single copies will be sold for five cents each, and a reduced price on larger orders (particulars of which will be published later) will be made as heretofore. Subscribers are requested to order for the full year, instead of for six months, whenever possible to do so.

Apropos of this announcement we quote the following kindly editorial comment, which recently appeared in the Daily Capital Journal, Salem, Ore., under the heading, "A Model Religious Paper":—

The weekly Christian Science Sentinel is one of our most beloved exchanges.

It carries no advertisements or illustrations.

It publishes the choicest extracts from other religious papers.

It engages in no sectarian controversies.

It treats other denominations with courtesy; lets politics alone, and minds its own business.

It advocated a scientific religion—a from of Christianity that is demonstrable.

Archibald McLellan.
