On page 313 of her "Miscellaneous Writings" under the heading, "Words of Commendation," Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, pays a tribute to the Editor of The Christian Science Journal for a particular number of this periodical. The Journal she referred to is that of August, 1895, just sixty years ago. Her praise is particularly given for the editorial. She says:
"Editor of The Christian Science Journal:—Permit me to say that your editorial in the August number is par excellence.
"It is a digest of good manners, morals, methods, and means. It points to the scientific spiritual molecule, pearl, and pinnacle, that everybody needs. May the Christlikeness it reflects rest on the dear readers, and throw the light of penetration on the page; even as the dawn, kindling its glories in the east, lightens earth's landscape."
