One of a series of religious addresses now being given over station WABC, operated by the Atlantic Broadcasting Corporation, in this city, was radiocast yesterday [October 28] at 5 p.
Gratitude
, purifying and refreshing as the spring which bursts from the mountain side, is a natural quality of spiritual man; but because mortals are still manifesting, in greater or less degree, the traits of Adam, or the false concept of man, they may have only a slight understanding of what constitutes genuine gratitude.
An
understanding of the allness of God, a faith in His omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence, a willingness to listen to the "still small voice," is the basic ground for all right thinking; and good thoughts and constant desire to do right are fundamentals of good character building.
On
Thanksgiving Day the whole nation is called upon to render thanks to God for national prosperity, as well as for community and individual blessings.
The
season again approaches when it has been the custom for generations to set apart a day of thanksgiving for the blessings which the Giver of all good and perfect gifts has bestwed upon us during the year.
Kellogg Patton, Committee on Publication for the State of Wisconsin,
Healing in Christian Science does not occur as the result of a belief "in the influence of a strong optimistic personality on the mind and body of a patient," as a clergyman implies in his sermon "Some Follies of the Age," as reported in a recent issue of your paper.

Judging from the lecture recently given by a doctor on matters of health, as reported in the Tribune, it is evident that the lecturer has no knowledge of the teaching and practice of Christian Science.
