Since we became the happy possessors of the revised Science and Health, by Mary B. G. Eddy, we have all felt a great longing for the July Lesson Quarterly, for there the Sabbath School Lessons appear on a higher plane of thought.
It has been beautiful to watch the growth of these lessons, as we have followed them step by step from the first; a growth so very apparent it has been impossible to mistake it. How wonderfully they have led us thus far through the mazes of mortal mind, preparing us to meet the error of the day, so faithfully uncovering the subtle schemes of the Adversary, that we may see its intricate network, and know how to destroy it. How we have pored over each lesson, finding just what we needed to apply to our individual need. Its practicability has been so applicable to our own need, we have forgotten to search for some good point to apply to the error in our neighbor. They have brought to the surface so much hidden error in ourselves that we have been kept busy tearing down the enemy's bulwarks, that we may get at this formidable network that seems so strong and impregnable; but our joy is great when we find it only a spider's web, easily brushed away, then we take courage and go on to the next lesson, wondering what each has in store for us.
We are doing better work to-day, because of these Sunday lessons. They preach grand sermons to us. They teach deep lessons of patience, humility, unselfishness. In fact, they are drawing us closer in this union of hearts, making clearer to the world the bond of Christian fellowship in Christian Science. With the last revision of Science and Health, these Lesson Quarterlies will lead us into clearer demonstration, and purer living.
