"TO BLESS ALL MANKIND"

From the May 1954 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The Church of Christ, Scientist, exists for the healing and redemption of mankind. Its church services, Sunday School, Reading Rooms, its Publishing Society, issuing literature in many different languages, its Board of Lectureship, its Committees on Publication—all carry the message of the Christ, Truth, to the far corners of the earth. Each of these activities has its obvious and important place in the movement; each is a definite, indispensable part of the whole; each is inseparable from the others in purpose and fulfillment.

Christian Science is based upon the teachings and practice of Christ Jesus. It is the Science of Christianity, the Comforter promised by Jesus, "even the Spirit of truth" (John 14:17). Its mission is universal. "Go ye into all the world," the Saviour said, as recorded in Mark (16:15), "and preach the gospel to every creature." "Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils" (Matt. 10:8) were further instructions of his.

With loving understanding of mankind's hunger for continuous testimony of the efficacy of Truth in human affairs Mary Baker Eddy, the great Leader of the Christian Science movement, established the Christian Science periodicals. These periodicals have sometimes been called missionaries of the Church of Christ, Scientist. As such they carry the message of spiritual healing "into all the world," even as Jesus commanded, blessing mankind everywhere.
