"THY WILL BE DONE."

We have been accustomed to regard the pathetic resignation of the human will to the divine which Jesus expressed in the garden of Gethsemane, as a phase of thought most difficult to enter into, but upon giving the matter serious consideration, we find this, like many of our other preconceived ideas, to be entirely false concept of the prayer, that instead of being the most exacting, it is really the easiest and most natural petition to offer.

FROM OUR EXCHANGES

[Churchman.
Christian Science is founded on the understanding of Truth, and teaches strict adherence to the spirit of the Mosaic Decalogue and to the teachings of Jesus.
The suggestion conveyed is that Christian Scientists are unsympathetic with those who suffer, and that they are fanatical and dogmatic in preaching the doctrine of Christian Science to others, and arbitrary in insisting upon its practice by those around them.
In these tolerant days with so many varying religious beliefs, it is not an easy matter in any progressive state to get a law on the statute-books that seems in any way to trench on any of them.
A discovery cannot be considered apart from the discoverer, but Mrs.
Christian Science teaches that pain is a mental effect, and in doing this it follows the long line of idealist thinkers, who have upheld the theory stated by Huxley in the words that "nothing exists beyond the facts of consciousness and the substance of mind.
