" My mother was an angel upon earth. She was a minister of blessing to all human beings within her sphere of action.

Our story of a lion dying from unsatisfied love for a friend of his youth, exemplifies the truth that thought and feeling create, or destroy, or modify the body. If it is so strikingly manifest at times in the brute world, how much more should we expect it to operate in the higher forms of existence.

Manner is the style normal to the man; and every man has a characteristic manner, whether or not he has any manners. Manners are the forms of respect paid to circumstances, to other persons and their relations.

Gerard , the great lion-hunter, captured a whelp in the mountains of Jebel-Meziour (Algiers), and named it "Hubert,' and brought it up as he would bring up a dog from puppyhood, until the child of the "king of the desert" regarded him with a dog's affection, and followed him everywhere.

One marked feature in this outlook is the rising up of false prophets and teachers on every hand, as of old, seducing the people; defamers, blasphemers, deceivers, adulterating the Truth,—of whom, we regret to acknowledge, not a few once held rank with us, who are now careering forth under the name of Christian Science, | boasting that they have shared bountifully of our loving teacher's instruction and counsel, which leads into the understanding of Christ,—the Truth, the Way and the Life,—which makes their error the more deceptive and dangerous.

To the Editor of the Herald : I have always enjoyed reading "Dr. Frank's" very interesting and instructive articles in your columns.
