IT is my desire to greet the brethren with loving thoughts and encouraging words; giving also thanks to God our Father for the revelation of Christian Science, and to our beloved Mother, the Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy, for the gift of its text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," penned by her.
Dear brethren, we have done well; but we might have done better. God demands more of us than we have manifested; but by his help, and by our striving, let us press forward to a better future.
To do better, means to strive to keep together,—all of One Mind,—and to have in us a desire to do only what is good, and to help and to love one another.
