Letters & Conversations

A CHRISTMAS CONVERSATION I have always loved the Christian Science periodicals and still get excited when I see one in the mailbox. But today I want to tell you how much good I am getting from the "Conversations" with Christian Science practitioners and teachers that appear in each Journal.

FEEDBACK ON "THE MUSIC OF SOUL" There was much to like about your recent article, "The Music of Soul" by Thomas de France with Edwin C. Starner and Julia Wade [September, p.

AN OLD FRIEND I received my September Journal today, and the first thing that I did was read the Letters [p. 7] as I often get inspiration from them.

COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN I just want to say that I am finding the February Journal absolutely fantastic! The day after its arrival, I had read it almost from cover to cover. I just couldn't put it down, and I shall go back to it again and again.

ACCOLADES ON CROSS AND CROWN January's "Cross and Crown" Journal wowed me. The multi– facted ideas shared by every letter writer, testifier, Q&A responder, and article writer sparkled like precious gems! (Then again, every issue shines!) After I e–mailed a friend, giving my "take" on the entire issue, page by page, I realized that detailing its treasures amounted to nothing but words.
