IF Christian Science were merely theoretical; if it were not applicable to the minutest detail of daily life, then, instead of its marvelous growth, Christian Science would speedily sink into oblivion. But because of its applicability to all phases and conditions of human life; because it brings health to the sick, redemption to the sinner, and peace to the sorely troubled; it appeals to those to whom all other avenues of escape from the ills of earth, seem to be closed.

HE that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. " Only that is stable which abideth "under the shadow of the Almighty.

When we begin to feel a sense of inharmony, seemingly from some person or in some person, it is a definite call to let our leaven be more at work in the destruction of universal error which is impersonal. When any person manifests error it is solely because he has opened the door of consciousness to wrong thought, has allowed himself to become an avenue for error.

" Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

IF we literally accept the account given in the second and third chapters of Genesis as a statement of facts which actually occurred, what conclusions as to the nature of God should we derive therefrom? First: that He engendered in man the capacity to sin, which presupposes a taste and inclination for sin; Second: that He made him blind to the nature of temptation; Third: that God Himself assisted in tempting man by putting "The Tree of Knowledge" into the garden and creating a talking serpent, which was the instrument for tempting man, who was perfectly innocent and quite unable to prevent being endowed with such weakness and imperfection of character. Can we believe all this of a just and merciful God? of a loving Father such as Jesus taught us to regard Him? No human parent with a trace of love would act in that way towards innocent, helpless creatures.

FOR some time I have been deeply impressed with the wonderful progress our Cause is making in the world, and, as a student of Christian Science, I take a vast deal of pleasure in noting some of the many marvelous changes that have taken place in the universal thought, in regard to Christian Science, in the past eight or nine years, during which time I have been an interested and persistent investigator. Some of these changes in public opinion are very interesting to Scientists, and point conclusively to the fact that the Christian Science leaven of Truth and Love is surely leavening the religious thought of our country and, I might say, of the whole civilized world.

MAN'S rightful attitude towards his fellow-man has remained an unsolved problem in all human history. Selfishness, harder than adamant and more pitiless, blocks every entrance to human hearts, and only the "solvent of Love" can remove it and liberate mortals.

The declaration of Christian Science that all evil and its consequences,— sin. sickness, and death,— are unreal, rightly understood is the basis of all Mind-healing, misunderstood it is frequently perverted into expressions such as these, "You merely think you are sick," "It is all your imagination.

THE Field may be interested to hear what is being done at our Alpine outpost of Christian Science. The news of the newly risen Christ was first heard in this city about the year 1896 by way of correspondence, and several people became interested.

ALL the logic and reason of the ages concerning Life and Being, is valueless unless its superstructure is based upon divine revelation. In the divine order of revelation, the world, at this stage of progress, is indebted to Christian Science, as revealed in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker G.
