One Editor of the Journal, Sentinel, and Herald made this observation about these magazines in a talk presented in the Sentinel of July 9, 1960: "The purpose of your periodicals is to disseminate widely the spiritual ideas that give unerring direction to human thought, imbue it with wisdom and love, and expand its ability to express the powerful intelligence that is Mind....
"Your periodicals must fulfill their possibilities in the publishing of inspiring ideas that will support the progress of human thought out of the maze of materialism into the knowledge of man made in God's likeness."
Her talk makes clear that it is the spiritual idea and Christ that alone imbue the periodicals with value and power.
