THE MOTHER CHURCH

From the May 1894 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The enclosed letters speak for themselves, and have been in such demand by the Scientists here that it seemed to me their usefulness might be enlarged by having them published in the Journal.— Barbara M. Prince.

"God's blessing in this hour rests upon the heart, (motive) of every one who sees in this edifice the visible sign of "God with us.

Oh if Christian Scientists everywhere could only see what this church edifice means for the Cause, yea for the whole world, they would rejoice that they were permitted to cast in towards its erection! It is not the Boston Church, but the Mother Church, which like the Mother's heart, must and does embrace every one. What does it represent? it is the visible symbol of the power of Love in human hearts to overcome human hate. Then we must erect such a temple as shall fitly represent our great cause. All the money belongs to God, and error cannot make us feel poor in any sense, but the blessedness of the "poor in Spirit," which is our Master's benediction."
