Description of the Latest and Most Remarkable of Boston's Remarkable Productions. A Revival of the Primitive Christian Method of Curing Diseases, and the Science of the Process.

Dear Reader . —As we send to you by this paper many a hint and suggestion of "Christian Science," many a statement of its truth, as yet but faintly comprehended, (and which never would have been, but for the untiring energy, the self-sacrificing toil, the divine perseverance of some one), and many a demonstration supported by living witnesses, we would call your attention to the time, the cost, the years of unrequited labor, the patience, the moral courage, the unwearied zeal, and immortal love that some one has exercised, that some one has been true to, that some one has been bravely brave in defending, and that some one has worked to bless, not themselves alone, but all mankind.

"Have you ever tried the faith-cure" asked a solemn stranger of a gentleman in a Brooklyn street-car. "I have," was the answer.

When will people learn that the mind rules the body? When will they realize that they might be strong, blooming, and attractive, if they would only think so? They regard debility as inevitable. Throw such folly to the winds.

A bill in equity was filed in the U. S.

Reading the history of the primitive ages, we cannot but notice the fact, that the characteristic which elevated a man above his fellows was simply physical strength combined with physical courage. The man of strongest muscle was known as a hero.

The above scripture in neither its origin nor preservation was intended for a rod to hold over the heads of men, or a threat to intimidate them, but on the contrary, a blessed assurance of the unselfish watchful care of a dear Friend, who has a love prompting the seeking and bringing back every wanderer from the fold of Christ. Let us examine the narrative of Hagar in the desert.

To acknowledge the Truth of being and the teachings of our Master, is to gain something more of Life. Every thought would then carry us toward that perfect spiritual harmony that abides in Truth, and this belief of life in matter would be to us but a passing dream and error.

While visiting a patient one day this week, a gentleman called also to see the patient. During his call he talked to him of God's power and love, the blessing of afflictions, the necessity of our going to Him with all our afflictions and troubles as we would go to a loving Father, feeling sure that He would do just what was best, and deal justly and lovingly with us in every instance.

In one of the churches of our city is located a memorial window, which for harmony of coloring and skill of workmanship can hardly be surpassed; but what person, gazing thereupon from the exterior and understanding not the character of such designs, would have any-conception of the beauties that might be revealed by an examination from the interior of the building? This feebly illustrates the view many have of metaphysics before obtaining some comprehension thereof. If one could realize the advantages to be gained from even a partial knowledge of "Christian Healing," vastly greater would be the demands for an understanding of the same; and while many would come, as now, seeking the blessing of health that every other source may have failed to supply, there would yet remain large numbers who would rejoice in the mastery it brings them over every avenue of error.
