The dedication of the magnificent Christian Science church in Boston has brought that cheerful and prosperous body of believers before the press gallery of commentators.
A Christian Scientist in praying for the sick prays not in order that God may change, for God is unchanging, but that the patient's thought may be lifted to know the reality of divine Love which is the real substance of the universe.

I
do think I have the right to demand of my preacher who ministers to me the truth, that he has tested it by his own thinking or his own experience, that he has made it his own truth.
When a man has heard repeatedly that people considered incurable have been healed by this renewed understanding of prayer, he is apt, if he is suffering himself, or if any one dear to him is suffering, to realize that though the skill of men is exhaustible the power of God is infinite.
The dedication of a church in Boston, built at an expense of about two million dollars, calls public attention to the flourishing fortunes of the Christian Scientists.
