Jesus was the Founder of Christian Science. His demonstrations over the beliefs of matter made him "the Way, the Truth, and the Life," for them, and for them only,  who follow in the footsteps of his demonstrations.

The history of the Journal makes a curious chapter in the exhibition of mental phenomena brought out by the growth of Science in human consciousness. Its first number was issued in April, 1883, by the Discoverer of Christian Science, and was at first a small eight page sheet published only once in two months.

At the meeting of the Association at Hotel Boylston, February 5, a student cited the words of Jesus, "Put up thy sword," in the course of a discussion of certain proposed disciplinary action towards students who were expelled some months ago for "immorality.

Elsewhere in the Journal will be found suggestions on Sunday-school work, from the Christian Science standpoint, also, on the Practice of healing, and Reports of cases, that it is hoped will bring out many responses. The author of Science and Health will hereafter treat, in each number of the Journal, the topic that seems, at the moment, of most living interest to the cause of Science.
