Two items of interest have run the rounds of the secular and religious press, and remind thoughtful Scientists of duties to be borne in mind till successfully accomplished. We refer to the completed revision of the Old Testament after fourteen years of conscientious labor by Hebrew and Greek scholars,—and the arrest of Rev.

In exact ratio as nations or individuals emerge from the night of ignorance, selfishness and barbarism, will the fact dawn upon them that all humanity are born "free and equal," irrespective of race, sex, financial conditions, or educational advantages. The logic of this fact holds as good with individuals as with nations; for a bigoted, ignorant, narrow-minded man has all the characteristics of the banditti of the Middle Ages, whose trade was to war upon commerce and honest industry, using their baronial castles for storing plunder.

I have not seen the articles alluded to, but am credibly informed that several papers have contained statements to the effect that Christian Scientists have issued fradulent diplomas. The Massachusetts Metaphysical College is the only chartered college sending out students qualified as above.

If there is any one fact demonstrated in the practice of materia medica, it is that bodily conditions are translated thoughts. If a zealous advocate of a certain treatment for cancers but study into their varieties and classification long enough, he may be sure of dying eventually of the kind of cancer his thought is most familiar with.
