The
scientific sense of the healing recorded in the fifth chapter of Mark which has come to me in the measure of my present understanding of Christian Science, I trust may prove as valuable to some one else in the healing of mental disease as it has been to me.
One of the main stumbling-blocks to our critic is the fact that Christian Science holds to the unreality of sickness, sin, matter, mortal mind and mortal bodies.
If the pastor of any one of the thirty-five churches in this vicinity should take the position in his pulpit that the healing of the body would one day be one of the distinct departments of church work, his position would be regarded as little short of revolutionary.
I do not decry, nor do I in the lightest way oppose, the gifts of healing; but I do say they are very meager, and poor, small, starving gifts, as we see them and use them to-day.
With reference to the editorial comments as to the cure of locomotor ataxia through Christian Science, it should be stated that Christian Scientists do not claim that a cure is effected through their treatment in every case, for they have not yet learned how to apply the Principle of this Science with such certainty as to avoid an occasional failure; but they have satisfied themselves through investigation and their own personal experiences that there have been many cases of permanent cures of such diseases through their system of healing, and they have abundant confidence that similar results can be secured in other cases through the same method of treatment.
Christian Scientists do not deny that Jesus Christ was the Son of God, but they accept the Master's own statements: "I and my Father are one:" "My Father is greater than I;" "My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

In
many of the testimonies given by Christian Scientists we find expressions of thankfulness for the overcoming of the sense of limitation and the incoming of a sense of supply from the infinite source of good.
Will our readers kindly bear in mind that the work at headquarters is necessarily divided into departments, also that by referring to the advertising pages of the Journal and Sentinel they will be able to ascertain the person or persons to whom their correspondence should be addressed in order to avoid delay.

Many times have I felt impelled to write of the demonstration of divine Love in my behalf, but have been withheld from so doing by reasons which I now see were wrong.
About three years ago, after being under a doctor's care for six weeks with carbuncles, and suffering so that I could not sleep at all, a friend advised me to try Christian Science.
While I realize more clearly every day that the best way to prove one's gratitude for Christian Science is to live and demonstrate this Science, at the same time I would like to express my gratitude for the continuous help and comfort which it has been to me for many years.
I feel that it would be ungrateful to withhold my testimony any longer, as I was prompted to try Christian Science by reading the testimonies of others.
I am glad to give my testimony to the Field, for the testimonies in our periodicals have helped me so much that I hope mine may be of help to some one else.
Cheerfulness is a small virtue, it is true, but it sheds such a brightness around us in this life that neither dark clouds nor rain can dispel its happy influence.
