THE MATERIAL SENSES

JOHN WARNER KEYES.

Many readers of the fourth chapter of John think that in saying, "Thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband," our Master administered a merited rebuke to the Samaritan woman; but a study of the Scriptures in the light of our text-book shows this to be but one of the many instances where Jesus used a familiar material symbol to illustrate a spiritual truth.

THE BASIS OF CONTENT

GRACE E. SELLON.

Indifferent toleration of the imperfect conditions of human life, or joyless resignation to the belief that such conditions are inevitable, may be called content; but the term is properly applied only to the glad satisfaction that one feels when he has learned the real purpose of life and labor, and is working toward the fulfilment of this purpose.

AT ONE WITH GOD

CLARENCE W. CHADWICK.

How to get "out with the sinner and in with the saint" is a perplexing problem prior to the advent of Christian Science in individual consciousness, but this Science begins at once to unfold to humanity the spiritual unity existing between God and man, and through such unfolding the unreal nature of so-called mortal life is brought to light.

In the face of the numerous cases of healing by the power of prayer and belief and without the aid of drugs or surgical instruments that are reported in the daily papers with increasing frequency in these latter days, are we stubbornly to cling to nineteenth-century materialism and sit in the seat of the scorner, who says that it is all a fake, that he does not know why it is a fake, but that it must be a fake, and that therefore it is a fake?

Regardless of what one may believe or disbelieve concerning the claims made for Christian Science as a "medicine" for the curing of diseases and the conservation of healthy manhood, those who listened to the address of Bicknell Young last night were impressed with his scholarly manner and splendid ability to present his case, and his liberality based upon the basic teaching of that Science which he claims is the product of thought.
