The following kindly words are quoted from the pen of Rev. L. C. Swallow, editor of the Pennsylvania Methodist.

"It was the pleasure of the editor to attend a Christian Science meeting on last Sabbath morning. We went because interested in the study of any claimant to popular favor that proposes to make people better by spiritualizing the senses, as opposed to the ever clamorous materialistic forces around us.

"The singing was participated in by all, and evidently came from the heart. The responsive readings were heartily rendered, and there was nothing in the teachings of Mrs. Eddy, as read at that service, out of harmony with a fair interpretation of Scripture, or with an enlightened reason.

"At the dinner-table, after service, we asked a Lutheran lady what she thought of Christian Science. She replied, 'I know but little about it, but from a somewhat extended acquaintance in the East, I am persuaded that its adherents lead most loving and lovely lives.' After all, 'A tree is known by its fruits.' There is much about Christian Science that we like."
