A CHRISTIAN SCIENTIST had enjoyed a particular newscast during supper. However, when a sponsor began inserting as an advertisement for a patent medicine a highly dramatic, minutely detailed account of a certain bodily function, the listener hastened from the table and turned off the radio.

IN the first issue of The Christian Science Monitor , which made its eventful appearance on the day before Thanksgiving Day, 1908, our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, made the following comment in an editorial: "I have given the name to all the Christian Science periodicals.

Many who are introduced to the teachings of Christian Science begin at once to learn how to use them in order to overcome physical, mental, or financial problems.
