The foreman of one of our most responsible publishing houses remarked, after a critical examination of several numbers of the C. S. J., that its pages contained the fewest errata of any magazine he had seen for a long time. This was gratifying intelligence, but the oversights of the Aug. issue were sufficient check to any possible risings of self-approval. Though the types did not make so egregious blunder as to report the Scientists and their "fiends" enjoying the picnic of July 16, the writer of the little article, Faith Work, Christian Science and Other Cures, was almost as tried as the reporter who found himself saying "fiends" for "friends" at the change of "proposed" to "professed" on p. 109, line 29 of his article in the Aug. Journal. Not to mention the careless omission of periods and one or two words where they manifestly belonged, the use of the word "farther" for "farthest," etc., there were other errors to which we will not call attention. All omissions and errors of this sort are chargeable wholly to the assistant editor, to whom all criticisms should be made, and blame for all imperfections attached.
