PREFACE

This volume contains scintillations from press and pulpit—utterances whichepitomize the story of the birth of Christian Science, in 1866, and itsprogress during the ensuing thirty years. Three quarters of a centuryhence, when the children of to-day are the elders of the twentieth century,it will be interesting to have not only a record of the inclination giventheir own thoughts in the latter half of the nineteenth century, but also aregistry of the rise of the mercury in the glass of the world's opinion.

It will then be instructive to turn backward the telescope of that advancedage, with its lenses of more spiritual mentality, indicating the gain ofintellectual momentum, on the early footsteps of Christian Science asplanted in the pathway of this generation; to note the impetus therebygiven to Christianity; to con the facts surrounding the cradle of thisgrand verity—that the sick are healed and sinners saved, not by matter,but by Mind; and to scan further the features of the vast problem ofeternal life, as expressed in the absolute power of Truth and the actualbliss of man's existence in Science.
