One of the squarest confirmations of the correctness of the theories maintained by this Journal, is to be found in the opinions of Al Watts, the famous animal-fancier and physician, as recently given by him to an interviewer. He says he has been bitten over and over again, by all sorts of animals, and has never had a touch of anything that resembles hydrophobia.

The peace, the rest, the sure strength, that he finds who "dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High," can never be known or appreciated by one who has not that abiding sense of security from the "terror by night" and the "arrow that flieth by day. " Neither "the pestilence that walketh in darkness," nor "the destruction that wasteth at noonday," approaches him, except to depart, for God is both refuge and fortress.

Attention is called to this volume. It s worth the notice, not only of Christian Scientists, but of all who are interested in the progress of truth.

At the last meeting of the French Academy of Medicine, Dr. Brown-Sequard related a very remarkable instance of the power of sympathy, which came within his recent observation.

This period is big with events. Fraught with history, it repeats the past and portends much for the future.

After a thorough investigation, I gladly reply to the question, "What are your views of Christian Science? " To me it is the one great Truth; the understanding of God, with all His loving attributes; the understanding of man; the understanding of the relation existing between God and man,—how He works in and through those who accept His truth understandingly, and faithfully abide in it. If Jesus is the vine, and we are the branches, as Scripture declares, must we not partake of His Substance, and our heritage be harmony, love, and peace? God spoke not more audibly to Adam, in the garden, than He calls to man in this the nineteenth century.

In Christian Science, "we take no note of time," except for the convenience of external earthly life. That is, in eternity there are no time-divisions; just as in one planet the year may be ten times our twelve months, while in another the year will not equal three of our months.

Even the words of the thoughtless in these days go to prove the principles of Mental Science true at every point. Mme.

[ A page from the new edition, just issuing from the press, of Science and Health. ] God is the Life, or Intelligence, that preserves the individuality of men and animals.

Metaphysics , not Physics, enables us to stand erect on sublime heights, surveying the immeasurable universe of Mind, peering into the Cause which governs all effects, while we are strong in the unity of God and man. There is a "method in the madness" of this system,—for madness it seems to many onlookers.
