From the Sioux City Daily Tribune of December 13, 1897, we extract the following:— "The new First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Sioux City, located at the southwest corner of Tenth and Jones Streets, was dedicated yesterday. "Services were held at 10.

I have the pleasure to say, the third edition of this book is issued and presented to me by the publishers, John Wiley & Sons, 53 East Tenth Street, New York City. I have carefully examined it, and find that with its new dress and translation, it is even more desirable and serviceable than the preceding editions.

Several days ago, a Mexican, living on Joe Pruitt's farm in the eastern portion of this county, was bitten by a rattlesnake. A son of Mr.

My attention has been called to an editorial bearing the headlines, "A Discovery that Man is Self-Creative," which appeared in the Statesman of a week ago last Sunday. Inasmuch as there is a doubt expressed in this article as to whether the periodical called Freedom, from which the quotation under discussion was taken, is an organ of Christian Science, it may not be amiss to make a few statements concerning a subject which is of so much interest to many, and is causing so much general discussion.

That the conviction is growing among many earnest thinkers in the American pulpit, that healing clearly belongs to religion, is to be seen on every hand. The following strong words were recently spoken at the dedication of the Brockton, Massachusetts, Congregational Church, by Rev.

Dear Journal :— How quickly the disciples of materia medica desert the supposed cardinal principles of their so-called science when anything happens to show them that their opinions have been wrong, and instead of representing and resting upon a scientific principle, as they have supposed and asserted, they were simply the products of mortal mind. When anything occurs to make them change their minds they desert the old theories, which have been landmarks to them all through their careers, in a second, and at once pin their faith on some other material and human hypothesis which they have studied up to take the place of the lost theory, but which they still pretend to consider is based on a principle, and not on "scientific guess work.

My Dear ——:—For a long time I have wanted to write you a real Christian Science letter, because I have felt so strongly the great benefit even a little understanding of the subject would be to you in all ways. Of course I am not unmindful of the difficulties which beset one trying to meet the natural objections to any new teaching, as I have been m the Science now for nine years, and during that time have, of course, argued the matter with many people.

A stumbling block in the way of many students of Christian Science will probably be the false and perverted, but commonly accepted, meaning of the word "atonement. " The writer was greatly surprised on first reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," at the interpretation there given: "At-one-ment,"—meaning man's reconciliation, or unity with God.

The word Law, as defined by Webster, means: "That which is laid, set, or fixed. A rule of order or conduct as established by authority; a fixed regulation; a decree; an order.

In comparing the Old and New Testaments, it is very pleasing to me to note how much more love is manifested in the New than in the Old Testament. The fourth chapter of the First Epistle of John is very helpful and beautiful, and is one of my favorite Bible readings, because therein is love made very plain; hence it is a chapter well adapted to all Christian Scientists, and of course to me.
