In the divine therapeutics of Christian Science, faith in the Christ principle is accounted more efficacious in the healing of diseases, from the simplest to the most complex manifestations, than any prescription known to Pharmacology. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the belief in the coining or actual possession of the blessed good desired.

Owing to a pressure of other duties, the founder and editor of this Journal has concluded to put the editorship of future numbers into the hands of a student whose term of service begins with the present issue. The editorship will be resumed by Mrs.

Somewhere we have read, that there are two ways of treating mistakes. One way is to let them alone making no attempts to correct them or learn any thing from them.

The precious cause of Truth, we trust, unites us in one common bond of fellowship and interest for the good of suffering humanity, and for this cause we now make an earnest appeal in behalf of our little paper, the " Journal of Christian Science , which calls loudly today for support, and must have it too, at once, or go down. Because of great press of care and labor (which we all know must be the case) our beloved teacher, and able editor, Mrs.

The Metaphysical Doctor is all the rage just now. He sits by your side, and coolly argues with you that you have no fever; your headache is a myth; your cold has no existence.

The press of the times mentions as an assured fact, the westward movement of the Eastern pestilence, and a medical professor of the Syrian Protestant College of Beyroot, gives a detailed historic account and description of the plague in its various stages of attack and progress, in one of our leading religious weeklies.

The evidence that the Bible is a revelation from God is in the book itself. It could not fairly be elsewhere, so obviously as there.

The limitation of our knowledge of a thing does not affect the existence of that thing. "I have swept space with my telescope and found no God," said the great Lalande; but God was, and is, and evermore shall be, despite the mighty astronomer's faithless conclusion.

Give the science of Metaphysical healing a hearing in our pulpits, free discussion from the press, and the place in our institutions of learning that physiology now occupies, and it would eradicate sickness and sin in less time than they have been increasing on the old systems and stereotyped plans to beat them. But incorrect teaching will lower the standard of Truth.
