HIGHER MEANINGS OF LIFE

As the patriarchs and prophets of old extricated the idea of God from a false material concept, so in this day Christian Science guards it from the abstractions of philosophy and material conceptions of Deity which are little better than the idols of an earlier day.

"CAPTIVITY CAPTIVE"

O wondrous harmony! Where every thought—That subtle, inner thing we cannot see—A willing captive unto Christ is broughtAnd merged in God's immensity,And thus, through broader use finds wider scopeIn fields of richness, where it roameth free;Borne up and on by one unending hope,—Still to unfold in all eternity!

To a Christian Scientist doctors are a body of people engaged in the attempt to mitigate human suffering to the very utmost of their ability, and I will undertake to say that it is impossible to produce a case in which a Christian Scientist has rushed into print to attack the medical profession.

Appreciating the kindly reference to Christian Science in a recent issue of Table Talk, and in no sense depreciating the work and efforts of those who are seeking in metaphysics surcease for themselves and others from the abounding ills arising from the belief of life, power, and intelligence in matter, but who have not arrived at the full acceptance of the divine Mind as the only real power, may the writer crave space in your columns for brief discrimination between the healing of Christian Science and "mental suggestion"?

LOWLINESS

The happy primrose breathed a thought of gratitude to God—Her prayer of grace, in sweet perfume, arose above the sod:In looking up to Him, she said, Because I lie so low,My sight includes all other flowers which high above me grow—How beautiful, that I can always see my dear friends so!The Master bade his followers take the lowest seat;He surely knew the rest, the calm—that consciousness so sweetWhich is itself the summons, Friend, up higher come! No prideDisturbs the thought that quiet serves, and seeks for naught beside;The bread, the wine, in tender love are up the table pressed;The loving heart, upturned to God, welcomes His every guest.

In our desire that all the sick and suffering, the weary and heavy laden, may know that the power of God is present to heal them now, as in the days when Jesus the Wayshower walked among men, we who have felt the healing touch of Truth upon pain-racked bodies, feel impelled to publish the fact—to tell the good news, that others may be persuaded to turn to Christian Science and find, as we have, that it is indeed the power of God which healeth all our diseases and gives us a sense of man's unity with God.
