INDIANA SYMPATHY. My dear Mrs.

AN EDITOR REBUKED [From a letter to ALBERT B. DORMAN Editor Messenger of Truth, Worcester Mass.

OUR DUTY We can no longer say people are not ready to receive the Truth, for there is a large class who are really hungering and thirsting for a higher and more practical standard of Christianity than they now enjoy; and unbelievers are waiting to be convinced that the religion of Jesus Christ is not a picture of the imagination, but a practical, every-day reality. All they want is the assurance that this system is not a humbug, not a new-fangled ism or ology, but Truth that can be demonstrated.

Writes a friend from Toledo, Ohio: I wish to thank you for the peace, joy, and strength I have received from reading your Unity of Good. With this I send you the book, Bethlehem to Jerusalem, feeling you understand the height and depth of that Life-journey better than anyone else.

WORK. Just now, as at all times, there is need of good and true work in the Cause of Christ; and where so many fields are open, there is no necessity for any to complain of lack of room.

WHAT IS CHRISTIAN SCIENCE?   Dear Journal: You seem like such a dear friend, coming to see me every month, that if I could lift the burden of some poor mortal, or condemn some error in the flesh, I feel that I should be doing work for the Master, and returning your service to me. Jesus says that if we pray in secret, God will reward us openly.

SEEMING EVIL. Dear Journal : "Why are things thus?" is one of the questions jocosely put to one another by people every day.

RECEIVING AND GIVING. Says Saint Paul: "Every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.

LOOKING OVER THE FIELD. Dear sister in Truth : Your helpful letter has been received and perused with deep interest.

CROSS AND CROWN. Dear Journal : Quaker Criticism objects to holding up the symbol of the Cross.
