The Expression Of Opinion—critical, as well as commendatory —of friends is invited, on the new departures made in the present and the February number of the Journal in point of "make up" and general arrangement, as well as on positions taken on points of general interest to the cause of Science. Such communications should be addressed Editor Christian Science Journal, Boston.
The Publications of the Publishing Society.—The attention of Scientists and others is called to the three first of the series of Christian Science tracts announced on the cover of the JOURNAL, published by the Christian Science publishing Society. The intention is to put within the reach of all, brief statements of points, topics of Science, in a form and at a price suitable for general or gratuitous circulation. As will be seen from the prices, which cover only the cost of manufacture and handling, the Publishing Society does this not for profit, but for the good of the cause. Let all friends of Science meet this effort by action in the same spirit. These publications will be found invaluable in opening the way for Scientists, by the removal of prejudices, and creating a desire to know Science in practice. A tract can be slipped into the hand, or mailed to any one, and the attractive form and style of these little messengers will make them welcome to all in whose hands they may be placed. Mrs. Linscott's treatise on "Personality" is a little gem, in its perfect clearness of style and argument, and should be read by every one interested in Science. It meets in a candid, open spirit, the false issue raised by those who from various causes have withdrawn or been expelled from Christian Science organizations, and will help the movement of Scientists now so noticeable, of drawing together, and the disposition to make a final separation from the factional elements that have brought discredit on the cause, and depreciated Science and its practitioners with the public.
