The writer must confess to no small degree of surprise at having read in a recent issue of the Californian of this city a brief article in which Christian Scientists are referred to as the subjects of a "delusion, or illusion, or craze;" and especially this statement of that editor's opinion: "We believe about fifty per cent of the Christian Scientists are mentally unsound.

THE GOLDEN RULE

"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.

WHO ARE THE MEEK?
