Dear Journal: —In connection with your editorial in November Journal regarding the false and unjust charges of mercenary motives attributed to our Leader, Rev. Mary Baker Eddy, I wish to tell how the fact that she was able to demonstrate houses and lands, was one of the strongest arguments that came to me of the Truth of her teachings.

A Case of healing of sin, through Christian Science, came to my notice in Cleveland some time ago, and the seed sown is still bearing fruit. During the absence of a student from the city, a burglar entered her house, but was frightened away by the inmates without securing anything; the same evening he entered other homes, was arrested and placed in jail.

The Boston Herald sent to a large number of prominent ministers of the gospel this query: "Which is your favorite passage in the Bible?" and last Sunday published responses from twenty-eight, each not only giving the passage which was his favorite, but also his reasons for the preference.

SO they are going to prosecute and probably jail, those Christian Science people who say the ills of the flesh and the bone can be cured through the agency of prayer! "Why," said a clergyman to me, over the breakfast table this morning, "these people are imposters; they should be jailed, and kept away from the rest of the world for all eternity. " "Can't they cure by prayers?" I asked.

THE request from our dear Mother in the October Journal , that her students "write to God" has impressed me deeply, and I accept the kind and loving rebuke, which I feel was intended for me. For I can see wherein I have failed in obedience to the divine command.

A WRITER on Christian Science has said, "Its Principle is as unrelenting as Sinai's law. " To be honest in Christian Science means much more than is usually implied by the word.

" I DO not understand what you mean by a belief. " We were sitting upon a high bank, near a waterfall, and the yellow river-flood foamed beneath "like beer" my friend had said.
