Ann Hermes/The Christian Science Monitor The Christian Science Monitor Weekly Digital Edition “It was like getting hit from behind by a Mack truck,” says Ms. Sacher, when Lisa, a bubbly, lighthearted college sophomore living in Madison, Wis., started to talk about hearing voices, showing signs of paranoia, and using drugs. Police, on one occasion, even had to drag her out of the middle of a busy street where she stood screaming at tormenters seen only by her. When Lisa dropped out of school, Sacher and her husband acted on their feelings of love and responsibility for their daughter and tried to bring her home for treatment.

Love calms and comforts naturally. Still, when no amount of human love is adequate to deal with serious mental disorder, there’s a stronger love to call on. Spiritually considered, love is the very core of existence, the intelligence and power that causes everything to be. We can define Love as the universal Mind, the reality many call God.

The magazine paved the way for today’s health and safety laws, said Dr Mike Esbester, of the University of Portsmouth. The feature attempts to inform workers for Great Western Railway of the dangers they face in August 1913. Modern attempts to inform workers of the dangers they could face at work began with this illustrated magazine published in 1913 The railway workers were reminded to carry out their work as safely as possible, whether crossing the railway line, wearing goggles to protect their eyes or loading and unloading goods. Having studied the evolution of health and safety messages over a century, Dr Esbester says that the country has seen enormous changes in the way we have been ‘taught, cajoled, encouraged and warned’ by the authorities to safeguard ourselves. He said: ‘Before 1913, safety warnings to workers were very top-down and text heavy. ‘August 1913 saw an entirely different tone and style, it was a massive change. The railway workers were reminded to carry out their work as safely as possible, whether crossing the railway line, wearing goggles to protect their eyes or loading and unloading goods ‘It spoke “man-to-man”, using an informal, conversational tone and showed people how to be safe rather than just telling them what to do.’ He said that initially the focus was on workplace safety, but from 1916 road safety was an increasing concern.
