My Dear Sir :— In answer to your letter asking me what I think of my treatment by the American people, a subject upon which I conversed with you before, and about the probability of its being known to my countrymen through the press of Spain, I am inclined to think that the inhabitants of my native country have changed their minds about the barbarity of the Americans, as has been always told us, and further, that I have no doubt that once peace is declared the Spaniards will recognize the gentlemanly treatment of their brethren, now prisoners in America.

Dear Journal: —With great pleasure and gratitude unbounded I send the following testimony. When this most beautiful Truth first dawned on my clouded consciousness, befogged with evil and error, I was a sinner and a very sick sinner, with nearly all the ills that flesh is heir to; those that I did not have, I thought I had, so that between what I did have in reality, (?) and what I thought I had, I had all there was to have,—there was nothing left out.

In the January Journal some cases of impersonal healing were given, and three cases are here given which will be more strictly called unconscious healing. The first one is that of the sister of my cousin's wife.

Is Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" an inspired hook? Yes. No book could do what that book has done, and is doing, unless it was inspired.
