Opponents of divine Truth can never destroy it by assailing personality, or attempting to cast reproach upon its adherents and demonstrators. That Truth which is founded on eternal Principle—God—is beyond the reach of earthly foes. It will stand forever; and the true worshipers at its shrine are under its perpetual protection.
A Christianity without a Principle would be like unto a ship without a rudder. It would float on the waters of doubt and uncertainty, and never land its cargo in the haven of rest and peace.
Sin, sickness, and death must give place to sinlessness, health, and Life, else God's promises are vain, and the divine scheme of salvation is a failure.
At the semi-annual meeting of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass., the Mother Church, held Tuesday, November 7, about 1240 new membership were admitted, which makes the present membership of the Mother Church about 16,000.
