THE CROSS AND CROWN

Archibald McLellan

The slight changes which have been made in the design of the seal on the cover of Science and Health and our Leader's other books, as well as on the Journal, Der Herold, and the Quarterly, have given rise to some speculation and inquiry, and the following extract from one of the many letters which have been received at this office indicates the nature of this speculation:—

"In view of the remarks I have heard in regard to the changed proportions of the cross and crown on the new cover for the Journal, I wish we might have an editorial setting forth the real signification of the cross. Is there too much looking for reward in proportion to the over-coming?"

Perhaps it is just as well to say at once that there is no intentional significance in the changed proportions of the cross and crown as redrawn, and that the artist simply made them of the relative sizes that seemed to him right and artistic. This artist is looked upon as the best man in his line of work in this country, therefore we may safely rest in the assurance that the proportions of the different parts of the emblem or seal are correct.
