The January Journal was delivered for humanity and the world. Thank God it is not an inhouse magazine written for its in-house club and members. It is written for the people, for all mankind, and we are, thank God, speaking the people's language again.
When I first read Science and Health, I went to church to meet the people that were followers of this dynamic religion. I found that they spoke their own brand of language that was totally foreign to me. It took me some time to learn what their jargon meant, but it made them look like a mighty queer lot to me for a long time. It felt like I was joining a secret and shut society. They were supremely religious, holy, and loving people; they just didn't seem to connect or be able to talk to the real world where the rest of us lived.
I am sure the Journal Mrs. Eddy launched must have been written for a new and growing movement, not one that grew so much that it started to meet only the needs of its members, leaving the rest of us outside knocking to be let in. By becoming focused on humanity at large, the church will grow, because it is relevant to all. I will be buying as many Journals as I can to put one in through each neighbour's door in our road, because they would all relate to it. It is not a "churchy" magazine anymore, but the people's. It has set me on fire to write articles for the Journal. Weybridge, Surrey, England
