It might be said of the Christian Church to-day, that, in its attitude and in its character, as it stands before the world, it is little more exalted in the purity of its teachings, little more imbued with the true sense of Soul and the Spirit of infinite Love, than was the church at "Jerusalem, when Jesus spoke to the multitude, and to his disciples, saying, "The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat, they bid you observe, but they say and do not, for all their works they do to be seen [applauded] by men.

Dear Mrs. Eddy :—Yesterday was communion Sunday in the Christian Science Church, Chicago.

There was an aged physician in Mrs. Eddy's Primary class last month, of full eighty years, with very clear thought, inquisitive after Truth.
