Dealing with political questions, the solution of which by certain methods he does not approve, a critic in a recent issue of your paper likens these methods to the efforts of "a Christian Scientist trying to curre a consumptive." The inference is that these efforts are hopeless also. Lovers of the poems of Whittier will be interested to learn that Mrs. Eddy healed him at his home in Amesbury of incipient pulmonary consumption, with one visit, about the year 1868. (See page 54 of "Pulpit and Press.") Thousands to-day also bear witness to the fact that Christian Science heals consumption as it heals all other known diseases.

There is only one remedy for all the difficulties of mankind,—social, political, physical, financial, and religious,—and that is a right apprehension of God, divine Love. As each individual understands God, and lives the truth he knows, he will find that sin and disease and all other inharmonious conditions will become to him less and less real, until they finally disappear. This happy state cannot be brought about by the operation of the human will, by the belief in minds many, and the supposed operation of these minds on each other. To obtain this result the human mind or will—the "strong man"—must be bound, dispossessed of all belief of supposed intelligence and power. Not until then will it be possible to obey, and to enjoy the fruits of obedience to, the injunction of the Apostle Paul, "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus."
