Rev. Dr. Charles F. Aked, From a newspaper report—New York.

Do you think Jesus would have believed all the theology and philosophy that has grown up about the three years of his earthly ministry? Do you think he would have understood them? And yet we are not ready to admit that Jesus did not preach the gospel. All these theologies and philosophies are wonderful, but they are not religion. The fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, self-control. All the rest are shadows. When men and women are physically living in the life and the love of God, there Christ is and there is his kindness and his power and his glory for ever and ever.

[Editorial note in the Haverhill (Mass.) Gazette.]

The world do move, and it moves fast. If there were any doubt about that, it was only necessary to attend the lecture on Christian Science at City Hall last night and note the personnel of the audience. The best blood and brains of the country is pioneering at last into the realms of thought, and if they profit by it mentally, morally, or physically, who dares challenge the belief?
