"And I encamped, O babbler, against thee; And I laid siege against thee—a camp, And I raised up against thee bulwarks, And thou hast been low. From the earth thou speakest, And from the dust thou makest thy saying low, And thy voice hath been heard from the earth, As one having a familiar spirit, And from the dust thy saying whispered.

I desire to do my part toward promoting our progress along the path to Truth, and to that end submit an account of the organization of a children's "Society "based upon purely Christian Science principles; the idea of which was suggested by reading to my little daughters, of eleven and thirteen, a story called "The Little Princess. " After the reading of the book, they decided to call themselves—and others who wished to join them—The Diamond Seekers; their object being to hunt, find and acknowledge the good in everybody and everything, seeking only virtues.
