AS medical schools, doctors and material remedies are multiplying at a fearful rate, and still diseases are increasing at a much faster ratio, there is little hope of a victory by that method, so mankind is forced to look in some other direction for relief, and very naturally turns squarely about from the use of outward things, which can be seen, felt, tasted and smelled, and attempts to conquer through inward spiritual or mental force. As homæopathy has spread over the land and almost set entirely aside the barbarous methods of bleeding, blistering, salivating and drugging, and taught the world the force of high attenuations and almost no medicine at all, so mental healing advances and demonstrates still farther that material remedies are in many troubles entirely unnecessary.

Yet this is the first step to the solution of life's problem. The most general answer given is that money,—riches—is the great need.

Repeatedly has been asked the question," What is the signification of Joseph's coat?" According to the recent and correct statement of a prominent teacher in the Boston Sunday-school, much of mere speculation has been ventilated in the attempt to answer this query, and much more will no doubt be forthcoming in further general effort to satisfactorily answer it— to little purpose, since it is mere speculation.
