Grave questions these; questions so serious in their import, that the changes will be rung upon them, until from her throne of authority, the irrefutable decision of Divine Science is universally heard, understood, accepted, and incorporated into man's existence. By the aid of this Science only, can a pathway be found through the labyrinth of the great problems before this people.
