Christian Scientists may well take courage in looking over the pages of the May Journal. No such sign of the increasing power in manifestation of Science has before been seen. The notices of Sunday services in the present issue of the Journal are only one of many indications of the stir towards organization. Just in the measure that the divine origin and character of Science are recognized, this movement will become accentuated. Let friends of the cause send reports to the Journal promptly of all they are doing. Let them feel everywhere that the Journal is their voice to brother and sister Scientists, and that through it they come into conscious relations with them.
A large increase in the subscription to the Journal has been made in the three past months. Thanks are due to our friends for their interest in the cause. That there may be entire freedom to say just the word that needs to be said, the Journal's readers are now taken fully into its confidence. The Journal is not a private or personal speculation. It belongs to the cause of Christian Science, and whatever profits are now or hereafter realized from it are, and will be, applied either to increasing its efficiency, or to advance the cause. So, dear friends, when you work for the Journal, you are just as distinctly, and in every sense, working for the advancement of Christian Science, and for nothing else, as when you are engaged in church or missionary work. All that relates to the propagation of this glorious gospel should be free from the taint of personal interest or personal profit. Our Teacher sets the example in this, and just in the measure that we all get into this spirit, in all our work and activities, shall we move in step with her, and towards God.
Our only endeavor is to bring the Journal into vital relation to every activity and interest of Science—to have it represent every impulse and aspiration.
