EDITOR'S NOTE BOOK

From the August 1890 issue of The Christian Science Journal


In the letter of a correspondent the following lines are found: "I have now opened my parlors to good and bad. I have invited, as it were, the Gentiles to come in and study the Bible, but I dare not speak of Science and Health, nor use the term 'Christian Science'; but all the same they are getting their feast from the, bountiful table we name Science. I study the lesson in the light of Science, but never say 'Science.' Why should I do so? The next week where should I find my audience? You need not wonder why Science has not put forth branches in— 'When they shall say, What are these wounds in thy hands? he shall say, These I received in the house of my friends.' "

Still another correspondent writes:

"I have often wondered of late, when I see our fellow-beings antagonized by the words 'Christian Science,' if we couldn't tell them mentally (if not otherwise) 'There is no Christian Science sect. It is Truth, and the Truth shall make you free.' "
