When we consider the wealth of love in treasures of Truth that daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly is poured into our hearts and homes, healing the human mind of its sickness and sin, its sorrow and shame, sensuality and selfishness, its vanity and vainglory, rebuking, exhorting, counseling, comforting, alight with love,—we are beggared for words with which to express our appreciation of the Christian Science publications. The periodicals may be likened to "streams of love" (Hymnal, p.

In absolute Truth there is but one language, the mode of communication that the divine Mind knows. Principle communicating to its infinite idea all good is the true utterance.

When John the Baptist sent two of his disciples to Jesus to ask if he were the Christ, Jesus sent them back with the message, "Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. " Here was the practical proof of Christianity, the proof which Jesus, its highest earthly exponent, gave and demanded of his followers.

One of the commonest characteristics of the so-called human mind is a lack of precision. This vagueness may be traced to the common tendency to accept prevalent beliefs and suggestions rather than to take the trouble to search for the underlying truth, and it is most in evidence where the sensuous beliefs of life and intelligence in matter hold sway.

The Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, has announced to the world her concept of The Christian Science Monitor , on page 353 of "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany," where she says: "I have given the name to all the Christian Science periodicals. The first was The Christian Science Journal , designed to put on record the divine Science of Truth; the second I entitled Sentinel , intended to hold guard over Truth, Life, and Love; the third, Der Herold der Christian Science , to proclaim the universal activity and availability of Truth; the next I named Monitor , to spread undivided the Science that operates unspent.

On page 13 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Mrs. Eddy writes: "Love is impartial and universal in its adaptation and bestowals.

To-day as never before humanity is struggling to redeem itself from various forms of bondage and oppression, while from all sides come ceaseless reports of the plans of autocracy, greed, militarism, ignorance, and racial prejudice to thwart mankind's desire for peace. Little by little it is becoming clear that the unity and freedom of mankind have not begun to be achieved except where the masses of individual men and women have awakened to higher and holier ideals of life.

Metaphysics is a term constantly found in the many writings of our Leader, Mrs. Eddy.

Throughout the ages mortal man has vainly tried to escape all responsibility for his brother man. It is interesting to note that the first murderer of whom we have any record sought to evade the penalty attached to his wicked deed by asking the question, "Am I my brother's keeper?" It is fair to conclude from this that the thought which would repudiate the responsibility of brotherhood is a murderous thought, however much smug complacency would deny the startling deduction.

The Church of Christ is built on the rock of truth, the spiritual understanding of God and on nothing else. On many other foundations have mortals tried to build a church, but not one has stood the test of time and storm.
