And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. 2 Cor.

The question convulsing the world is, What is Truth? Many honest searchers willing to "try the spirits whether they be of God," exclaim in bewilderment, Wherewith shall we try them? since all claim an origin in God. Among the grandest and the most encouraging facts of revelation is this, that there is no speech nor language where the voice of Truth is not heard.

Hon. Charles Carrol Bonney, President of World's Congress Auxiliary, in his remarks before that body said: "No more striking manifestation of the interposition of Divine Providence in human affairs has come in recent years, than that shown in the raising up of the body of people known as Christian Scientists, who were called to declare the real harmony between religion and science, and to restore the waning faith of many in the verities of the sacred Scriptures.

We have pleasure in presenting to the field as a frontispiece in this number, a photographic reproduction of a pen-drawing by the architect, of the church edifice of the "Mother Church,"—"The First Church of Christ, Scientist," in Boston, now being erected at the convergence of Caledonia with Falmouth street.

They say that part of the money for the hospital was contributed by persons of homœopathic preferences, who expected that their doctors should "have a hack" (as the vulgar put it) at some of the patients.

Entering upon a life work with Christian purpose and endeavor, with a lasting resolve to carry out and fulfil all the demands of Love, shall we ever be found halting between opinions? Purged ourselves of our desire for rank and anxiety to express our own wisdom, we may each and all strike our chord upon the harp of Love, and in nowise can discord arise from it, for the Principle of one is the Principle of all, and the sweet harmony of Mind goes out, filling the earth, gently arousing in its affections a new and growing joy. But where does fame strike upon the harp of Love? In its ambitious effort to surpass, it reaches beyond its proper chord, and in its excited hope, fails to detect the discord arising from error.

And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. John 12-32.
