Exploring in depth what Christian Science is and how it heals.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

What is the form of Communion for the Church of Christ, Scientist? The Eucharist in Christian Science is very simple as a ceremony. When Pastor of the Mother Church in Boston, I instituted the following programme for our Communion-day services, which I recommend for general use.

TRUE STORY OF BLANCHE'S DEMONSTRATION

Blanche is a little girl who lives in the new state of Idaho, or the "Gem of the Mountains" as people living there love to call it. It truly is like a beautiful gem set in a ring of mountains, for the mountains entirely surround it.

DRUGS, HYGIENE AND HYPNOTISM

The following clipping, taken from the NEW YORK TRIBUNE, illustrates the growing distrust of drugs, even among physicians. It is the experience of a man prominent in his profession.

"THE TRAVAIL OF MY SOUL."

During the next four years, many things occurred in which I can plainly trace the love of the Father about me. I had passed through the ranks of ordinary and able seaman, and had come to be second-mate of an American ship bound for Australia.

MEDITATION AND ACTION

Let the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight. Ps.

There can be no knowledge except knowledge of Truth, which is knowledge of God —of Christ: hence to know Truth, God, is to establish the law of righteousness. To be consciously under the law of righteousness, is to know the "glorious liberty of the sons of God.

Jesus came down from the mountain to teach the multitude; but, he brought with him, from the heights, a breath of pure air that was life-giving to all who came near enough to inhale it. While we need, oft, to go up into the mountain, we too must come down to the multitudes, and lead them to the Father both by precept and example—by letting them see that we are "tempted in all points" like as they are, and, through the keeping of his sayings, are overcoming daily.
