tof the doctrines Of Christian Science They are also providing information
 relative to the growth and progress of the cause, as well as legitimate news and world events of moment and inter est, and valuable comments thereon.
 In dispensing thoughts of love, peace. purity, health and righteousness, the Ivalue of the service which these writ Eir@s and publications are continually rendering mankind Is beyond esstinn-
 ate. The far-reachiug influence of
 Mrs. Eddy's life work, and the power
 for good whdch it is exerting, mankind
 today but dirnly realizes and only feeb- 1 ly comprehends.
 It is an occasion for congratu1ation
 and thanksgiving that the present gen.
 eration are witnesses and participants I in the, activity of this worldwide
 movement of true Christian faith and
 practice. Those who glory and share 1 in its, triuTnphal progress and achieve
 ments, gladly and lovingly accord to
 Mrs Eddy the honor done her as it's r Founder. Her earliest struggles on
 behalf of this consummation first as- Esumed definite and effective shape less
 than fifty years ago. As a conse- Quence, today millions of adherents and Esympathizers are reaping the benefits.
 The iInpuSdon and inspiration which
 urged Mrs. Eddy forward to the ac-
 accomplishment of work which since l the Masters time is without a par a,lIe1. in the worlds history, was the service which she could thereby rem
 der suffering huma1litp. Our appre-
 citation of all this, and aud grati- tudes to her, van best be evidenced
 and in loving. uplifting service to one
 another.
 l TRIUMPH OF THE TRUTH i Inpeued by the inspiring words and l demonstrations of a solitary woman
 of our own b1est land. a vast. number,
 who represent every nation Of the earth, are today observed climbing
 the heights Of spiritual understand- ing. A progressive Christianity is Heading them on, and the ever-brilliant
 rays of divine Truth go before to des- l ignate and ilfsTxnine the way On ev- l cry hand the waynnarks and influence 1 Of ignorance fear, superstition, big \ otry, and false. aoelieSs are seen to dis appear. Moreover, their effects in sin and disease. and in tanpotent and obso-
 1ete doctrines and Apractices, are rap id1p vanishing from human exReri- ence.
 l Divine metaphysics is releasing naor-
 tals from the grasp Of Limitations f11- posed by sensory evidence, and is
 breaking down the barriers of doubt and skepticisn as to the eternity of. | life and being. It is re-estab1 fishing 1 a rational faith in and dependence up-j on the sustaining presence of the
 eternal verftfes of Life Truth and Hove. It is arouEtng conscaouSn6Ss to fthe apprehension and acceptance of
 the healing and redenaptivs power of Gods immutable laws.
 As a result of this enlightened asd-
 vancement and transforna ton, saliva tfonk no longer means the escape OF
 deliverance of wicked and condemned persons from the punishment threat Iened by an avengink Deity. In place l of it's former and most repeIling sig.
 nihcanees the term salvation is now being accepted as SYNONYMOUS with the attainment of spiritual understand ing. working out ones own sa1va- l tion is best comprehended as the sim
 pie act of the indivfduaI in acquiring
 the true knowledge of t11e relationship
 existing between God and His un1- verse, including man, which He creat- l ed and governs.
 1 Christian Science is very largely re- isponsibIe for this improved condition land eVer-fncreasing knowledge, since through it's teaching and practice it has disclosed the important fact that l all the functions of true existence are and must ever be centered andacircuEn- Iferenced in this knowledge. It is also IconcIusfve1y proving that the natur- ! al outcome of what might be rightly termed Christian activity is the healing
 work which Christ Jesus insisted should be considered as the only Iegi-
 tinaLte evidence of a mans right to l be called a Christian
