The following is a list of questions sent in by a correspondent, and as they cover substantially the ground of many inquiries sent us, we publish them, with such answers as we are able to make. Our good friends should remember that we have no more information upon the subject of their inquiries than they have. They have our Leader's message, and that is all we have. We suppose that where the former pastor or reader has been a woman, she may continue to act in the capacity of leader or first reader, in which case the male reader would read Science and Health. We are not advised that there is any law,—which like that of the Medes and Persians changeth not,—requiring the reader of Science and Health to be a woman. We suppose that these matters may be adjusted as conveniently and wisely as possible with reference to local conditions. We suppose also, that there is no necessity for instantaneous adjustment to the new order, although, doubtless, it is well to adopt it as soon as it can be done, "decently and in order." In those cases where there is no male reader to be had on the instant, we suppose it would be no serious matter to utilize for the time being a female,—with the understanding, nevertheless, that a male shall be "demonstrated" as soon as he reasonably can.
