Interesting and Suggestive

with contributions from John C. Turner, Thomas W. Organ

Dear Editor : — Being a subscriber to the "Journal" I take the liberty of sending you herewith a part of the editorial page of the New York Times of March 22, as it contains items interesting and suggestive from the Christian Science standpoint. The letter of Mr. Organ is a definite indication of his lack of faith in "Materia-Medica" — it would be interesting to learn more of his views.

The other marked passages are more in the light of "straws" showing the trend of the wind at the present time.

By the article headed or commencing "Round-trip tickets," it seems that John Hopkins University is not satisfied with the number and variety of diseases already "on the list" but must needs send to the uttermost parts of the earth to discover more if possible. Seemingly the University is under the impression that the diseases under investigation are original with the inhabitants of the Tropics, thus forgetting the teaching of history, that the Aborigines of almost all countries, when first discovered by civilized man have been found living in peace and happiness, almost absolutely without sickness or disease, — these latter together with envy, suspicion, hatred, etc., being only acquired through association and intercourse with civilized (?) man.
