My year in the Journal work closes with this issue, and I then return to my field and Institute. I have resigned my office as Editor of the Christian Science Journal, and take great pleasure in presenting to the field my successor, Mrs. Julia Field-King of Seattle, Wash., who comes to you with the January (1892) number. To the contributors of the Journal, during the present year, I wish to express my sincere thanks for your prompt, earnest efforts, and also for the very generous supply of articles, many of which have not yet appeared for lack of space. I heartily thank the field for their activity in circulating the April issue, which has reached nearly all parts of the world, being the largest in circulation of any number of the Christian Science Journal. It shows the grand possibilities of our Journal.
As the year just closing has been the one of my largest experience, so will my future work bear witness of this deep experience in the Journal service. The call to take up this part of the work was indeed most unexpected; and as it has been one of trials, so has it been one of great blessings, for which I am deeply grateful.
This December issue is our twelfth greeting—the full measure of the year. It is fraught with deep love, that will grow stronger, for in returning to my field I am still on the battle ground, and we will recognize one another in many a contest before the victory is won.
