of the greatest blessings that the earnest study of Christian Science confers upon the student, and one which is so frequently attested to at the Wednesday evening meetings and in the testimonies published in the periodicals, is the light that Christian Science throws upon the Scriptures, and the uplifting of thought that ensues.

studying harmony and the way in which musical compositions are built up, the student is struck by the innumerable possibilities of achievement which follow an understanding of the three notes of the common chord and its harmonies.

Your recent issue contains a letter from a correspondent who has evidently read, but failed to understand, the report of the lecture on Christian Science in your previous issue.

In an article entitled, "Everyday Questions," in a recent issue of the Duluth News Tribune, a clergyman intimates that Christian Scientists endeavor to "suppress unfriendly criticism," and he adds that "all who claim to have the truth should be willing to let the light play on it.

Seventeen years ago, when I received my first knowledge of Christian Science, I was suffering from extreme melancholia and physical troubles from which physicians said there was no permanent relief.
There have been many physical healings received by me since I began the study of Christian Science, and I am deeply grateful for them; but that for which I am most grateful, and which I can never cease to rejoice in, is the knowledge of the truth, the scientific understanding of God and spiritual man, made in His image and likeness, that is revealed to us through our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.
Many times I have been helped and encouraged by reading the testimonies in our periodicals; and I am glad to express my gratitude for these loving channels for sharing our blessings with one another, made possible by the wisdom of our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy.
Every testimony appearing in the Christian Science periodicals awakens a corresponding sense of gratitude, because there is a great multitude of people able to testify to similar healings in their own experience.
