A Sign of the Times

BY CLARENCE C. EATON.

Those who, because of increased wisdom and understanding, can "discern the signs of the times," see the manifestation of divine Love on every hand in the trend and transformation of human affairs.

Christian Scientists will regard as especially significant of the influence of their faith, several statements contained in an editorial which appeared in a recent issue of the Minneapolis (Minn.) Journal, relative to a marked decline of the law business, a fact abundantly proven, the article states, by the complaints and admissions of attorneys, that their "services in the courts are not in demand," and also by the court records.

The editor of the Journal includes in his observations the following: "It is no doubt true that litigation is decreasing. The records of the courts would seem to show it. While business and population have increased during the past year, the number of cases was two hundred less in our district court than during the previous year. Nor does there seem to have been as much important litigation of late as used to occupy the time of courts."
