In a signed article in you issue of October 21, Mrs. George Archibald discusses Christian Science, and propounds questions which she attempts to answer. Your contributor is not a Christian Scientist, and for that reason she cannot have that understanding of this subject which is necessary to reply to these queries. Of Christian Science Mrs. Archibald asks:—

"Is its effect on society satisfactory?" Those who conscientiously and earnestly study Christian Science and understand what it teaches, are satisfied with it. Those who know nothing of it cannot be expected to recognize its blessings.

"Does it unite or divide mankind?" The brotherhood of man, and the gospel of the golden rule are insisted upon in Christian Science. Where else can such a teaching tend than toward perfect unity? When we understand what Christian Science teaches, that there is but one God, "Who is the father of us all," the whole race will be drawn together in the bonds of universal love.
