Our Eucharist is spiritual communion with the one God. Our bread, 'which cometh down from heaven,' is Truth.

In recalling the experiences of some of my earlier efforts to demonstrate the truth as taught in Christian Science, I am reminded of my first attempts to meet the suggestions of animal magnetism. I remember that for a time the very name, animal magnetism, seemed potent to inspire in me such fear that my most earnest effort was often hardly sufficient to re-establish the sense of harmony; and even when the victory had been won, there came no sense of assurance that I should be able to conquer in the next encounter.

Quite recently I met a gentleman on a street-car who handed me a little tract which at first I declined. On second thought it occurred to me to accept his offering, giving him in return two Christian Science reprints which I happened to have in my pocket: "The Brotherhood of Man," and "There is Rest and Peace on Earth.

The history of a Christian Science Church must necessarily tell of things which, like the Gospel it teaches, are in advance of its surrounding times and conditions. And why? Because the superstructure of the Christian Science Church has its foundation in Mind,—that Mind which is Spirit, Truth.

Toward the close of Jesus' earthly mission, his disciples asked him this momentous question, "What shall be the sign of thy coming?" The answer was categorical and presented a kaleidoscopic view of mortal history. It seized the conditions of thought then uppermost and showed the inevitable conflict between truth and error, act following act in the mighty drama of the world's redemption.

To those familiar with the life and works of Jesus Christ, the accounts of the treatment he received at the hands of his persecutors seem almost incredible, and we are astonished that one whose only work was doing good, and whose life was a constant self-sacrifice should receive such treatment. Especially when we read of the crucifixion, do we feel pity for his enemies whose blindness and hardness of heart caused them to put to such a death their best friend.

The Prophet Micah, who probably discerned the Science of Being more clearly than most of the prophets, sums up the duty of man as follows: "He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" It seems a simple summary to consider, and should be simple enough to follow. But each individual's shortcomings are potent witnesses to the seeming difficulties involved in living a godly life.

“Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" has unlocked the sealed book and given us a spiritual interpretation of the Bible which has illumined its sacred page, and inspired a new era of scientific research in this treasure-house of precious jewels. While Christian Scientists acknowledge the above fact, perhaps some may not be familiar with the following historical incidents in its transmission from the original writing to the present day.

The building committee of the new $100,000 church which the Rev. Mary Baker G.

At the regular mid-week testimony meeting of First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Concord, last evening, public announcement was made of the purpose to proceed at once with the erection of a new church edifice for which provision has long been made through the generosity of the Rev. Mary Baker Eddy, Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science.
