The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

Grace White wrote four poems, one for each season, from the perspective of life at Pleasant View. Since there is no history that has surfaced about her connection with Pleasant View, I have to think that she traveled there with the purpose of recording the seasons, as they would have been witnessed by those, who called Pleasant View their home, in order to share with those who read the Journal.

POEM MAY 6, 1905 ISSUE
[Written for the Sentinel.]
Pleasant View in Spring

GRACE WHITE.

Broad meadows clothed with tenderest green,
And patient trees their leaves just showing.
The little ice-bound pond awake,
All sun-kissed ripples from soft breezes blowing.
From distant tree-tops gaily ringing
The song of homing birds is flowing;
While high above in sunny skies
Are stately full-rigged cloud-ships going.
