North American.

One cannot help conceding that to attain its growth there must be in the teaching of Christian Science something very satisfactory and wholesome. Mere theory would have long since uncovered its own emptiness, and those who had been attracted by its vain promises would have deserted it for something more satisfying.

The reformation which inevitably accompanies the study and application of Christian Science is of even greater importance to the individual than the physical healing, and in nearly every instance this reformation has not only proved lasting, but has been found equal to the tests put upon it. In casting about, therefore, to find a reason for the large amount of interest evinced in this Cause, it is found that this teaching prevails because it fills a human need, and fills it effectually.

The optimist finds much in the growth of Christian Science to justify him in believing that the future will contain for our race a greater happiness than has the past. In the midst of our materialistic beliefs we find the "still small voice" urging us to turn our thoughts to things spiritual, and in listening to this voice we are rejoiced to find practical those sacred promises which assure long life and happiness to those who follow Him.
