THE SUNDAY SCHOOL

From the February 1889 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Every superintendent of a Christian Science Sunday school, and every teacher of a Sunday class in Christian Science, not connected with a Sunday school, is earnestly requested to send a report of the present number of scholars, and of the foundation and growth of the work. Christian Science is as yet weak in the line of church organization; perhaps it will continue so for a long time to come. But Christian Science thought is planted and is working everywhere, and begins to take form in church and Sunday-school organization. Let both be kept out of the ruts of sectarian conventionalism, and grow only with growth in the Spirit of Science.

The Sunday class in Science is, after the association, the germ of church organization. Most Scientists are remote from church organizations (Scientist), but is there any one who has not neighbors and friends to whom he can talk Science for an hour or two; not as a speaker, but familiarly, accompanied with readings from the Bible and Science and Health; or from sermons or Bible lessons published in the Journal?

The message of Science relates to the highest interests of humanity, but it embraces also those that are lowest. Talk the "practical" side of Science, how to get rid of beliefs of sickness; talk it as an economy of doctor's bills, as a means of increased daily comfort, through emancipation from the host of beliefs expressed in "laws of health," and that hedge in the path of daily life with, pitfalls and ghosts of fear.
