Oh ye Christian Scientists! how incomparably great are the divine benefactions which have alighted on you. How happy you are. What vigor of frame, and what bloom of countenance are yours. You all say: "Their rock is not as our Rock, our enemies themselves being judges." A very large proportion of you were once the material doctors' castaways. You had tried all, and perhaps spent all, and were wholly spent. It was then by the help of Christian Science you touched the hem of the Saviour's garment, and were made every whit whole, or thereabout.
Now what will you do, what are you doing, to show your gratitude and to diffuse the truth through which you are so greatly blessed? Various are your means of doing this, and each will have some special means and opportunities not enjoyed by others. But all can do something toward extending the circulation of the Christian Science Journal. Ought you not to do it with all your might?
Heretofore this Journal has been carried on at a sacrifice as a labor of love. To some extent it is so still, and we trust it will always be a labor of love with all its workers. By universal effort and cooperation it can be made ere long not only to pay its own way, but to net some: thing for the common cause, to raise its own standard and diffuse other useful scientific literature in various forms. Dear friends, come and work with us in this vineyard. It is the Lord's.
