THERE is but one true system of mathematics, one correct way to add, subtract, multiply, and divide, and that is known to be the true way by its practical, definite, satisfying results. Distances are thus determined, and the exact time calculated when a given point will be reached at a fixed rate of speed; weight and contents are ascertained, quality and values computed, estimates made, and contracts drawn and executed.

POPE'S maxim, "Order is Heaven's first law," has become so familiar as to be almost a platitude, but it is surprising to see how little its absolute truth is realized in the affairs of individuals or of nations, and it would be interesting to know if Pope himself recognized how strictly his statement is in keeping with Biblical teaching. Can there be anything more calculated to bring a sense of perfect order to the human mind than the wonder of a starlit night? As the eye travels over the panorama of stars and planets spread out in what seems to be an infinite array, and we realize that beyond are millions upon millions of other worlds, other suns, other planets, whose distances are measured in such numbers that finite sense reels in the attempt to grasp them, we can but be overwhelmed by the calm, the quiet, the majesty, the unbroken order of that vast multitude "moving in the harmony of Science" (Science and Health, p.

THE persistent efforts put forth in certain quarters to bring discredit upon Christian Science, naturally suggest the question, If Christian Science does not correctly interpret the Truth of Being, by which men are made free, what does?

In early childhood my eyes became diseased, and I was treated by different doctors, who disagreed as to the nature of the trouble. I also failed in health,—in fact, became a physical wreck.

But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. —Matthew, 10:23.

IT seems well-nigh impossible for humanity completely to lose sight of the fundamental facts of being, even though the conditions under which they are viewed be such as to render the impression confused and, to a considerable extent, unintelligible. The universality and persistency of the sacrificial instinct in the race consciousness would seem to indicate that it is related in some profound way to the problem of human existence, and has a significance of which the crude, clumsy forms and symbols of material sacrifices afford but a feeble suggestion.

Truth is within ourselves; and to know Rather consists in opening out a way Whence the imprisoned splendor may escape,— Than in effecting entry for a light Supposed to be without. Robert Browning.

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. —Jesus.
