Christian Science has two great textbooks, the Bible and Science and Health. These will never be worn out. Yet no one will be forever reading them. We must have some variation in the method of presentation, some fresh setting of parts of the great subject, some studies of it in connection with current thought, some questions to be answered, some news of the progress of truth, of the obstacles it meets and conquers, of the characters it develops. These and many other considerations make a good journal a necessity to a wide-awake and useful and growing Christian Scientist. Therefore, let all subscribe, and get subscribers, for the Journal. Dear friends, be up and doing with all your might.
