A Backward Look

From the December 1891 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The year just drawing to its close is a never-to-be-forgotten one in the history of Christian Science. In its glorious dawn came the Book of the age,—the revised Science and Health, by Mary B. G. Eddy,—freighted with purity and love "to all peoples and nations."

" . . . the peoples murmur and say,
Our souls are sick and forlorn;
And who will show us where
Is the stable where Christ was born.
. . . . . . . . . . . .
...here is the star we sought,
To show us where Christ was born."

Loyally, has this Book been given us, and as loyally must we search and make our own the priceless truths it contains. Deep and strong, it is moving the pulse of humanity, and is probing to the depths the motives and desires of the heart of every honest seeker; bringing, each day, experiences, "ever shifting like the fragments of colored glass in the kaleidoscope."
