We are glad to publish the following interesting letter and enclosures received from our Leader. That legislatures and courts are thus declaring the liberties of Christian Scientists is most gratifying to our people; not because a favor has been extended, but because their inherent rights are recognized in an official and authoritative manner. It is especially gratifying to them that the declaration of this recognition should be coincident in the southern and northern states in which Mrs. Eddy has made her home.

Dear Editor:—I send for publication in our periodicals the following deeply interesting letter from Elizabeth Earl Jones of Asheville, N. C.,—the state where my husband, Major George W. Glover, passed on and up,—the state that so signally honored his memory, where with wet eyes the Free Masons laid on his bier the emblems of a Master Mason, and in long procession with tender dirge bore his remains to their last resting-place. Deeply grateful I recognize the Divine hand in turning the hearts of the noble southrons of North Carolina legally to protect the practice of Christian Science in that state.
