London, England (First Church).—Introducing Judge Samuel W. Greene to his audience, John Sidney Braithwaite said in part:—

Most of us are apt to be quite particular as to the kind of food we eat, but we are not always equally careful about the thoughts that we think. If we could only realize that some thoughts are just as poisonous as bad food, we should certainly be more careful of the thoughts that we entertain, and particularly in regard to the kind of reading that we indulge in. Referring to our great daily paper, The Christian Science Monitor, a newspaper man remarked to me the other day, "I don't know how it is, but whenever I have been reading the Monitor I always feel good." I replied, "It is because in reading the Monitor you have not been taking any poison in your food." Our great Master spoke of himself as meat and drink, and intimated that those who partook of his nature should never see death. Christian Science is the Science of true thinking, available for all who seek to acquire it; and, in the pursuit of it, one accustoms one's self to dwell in thought on the things that are true, and pure, and honorable, and of good report.
