Maybe this is a timely moment for the above topic, because we publish in this issue the annual listing of areas in which Christian Science teachers are holding classes. Also, our lead article deals in some depth with praying effectively, and learning how to achieve that certainly is an important purpose of class instruction in Christian Science.
At Jacob's well Christ Jesus told the Samaritan woman, in a few words of marvelous simplicity, a great deal about the understanding of Truth, God. He made clear that such understanding is a living power, unfailing in refreshment, welling up in one's life like a living spring. As he put it, "Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."John 4:14
Infinite Truth, understood in its Science, is the most interesting subject on earth—vital, expansive, healing, redeeming— something not merely to think about but to live. Truth actually practiced is as warm and quickening, as liberating and unfailing, as the very essence of Life itself.
