Legislation

with contributions from John H. Mickey, Archibald McLellan

Less than the usual number of bills having for their object the suppression of Christian Science practice, have been introduced in the State legislatures this year, and of this number only the one introduced in Nebraska has been passed, but even in that State the measure has failed to become a law, because of the governor's veto.

A Passing Anomaly

John B. Willis

It is doubtful if the present age presents a more surprising and incongruous spectacle than that of the pronounced opposition of many Christian ministers to the asserted possibility and experience of spiritual healing, The great body of evangelical clergymen accept the New Testament narrative of this healing as historically true, and, if questioned, they would probably say that all things are possible to him that believeth; nevertheless, both in their manifest removal from any thought of trying to profit by the privilege themselves, as well as in their ofttimes outspoken condemnation of those who are conscientiously endeavoring to fulfil our Lord's commands to heal the sick, they give unmistakable evidence of the entire absence, not only of faith, but of inquiring interest in the subject.

The Rest that Remaineth

John B. Willis

Many a weary and discouraged soul has been attracted to Christian Science by hearing the testimony of those who witness that it has brought them not only surcease of pain, but rest of mind and content of heart, and through misapprehension there are those who have been led to think that to become a student of Christian Science is immediately to find that exemption from the struggle for subsistence and success which enters so largely into the world's sense of happiness.

The Gospel of Healing

Archibald McLellan

Most of us can remember the time, not so very long ago, when the fortunate possessor of a strong and healthy body was looked upon as a person in whom the spiritual nature was entirely lacking or, at the most, only superficially developed, and the clergyman who happened to be blessed with an abundance of health and bodily vigor was secretly suspected of being no better than Friar Tuck.

Rumor

Editor

What an indefinite, fleeting, intangible thing is a rumor; how fast it travels, and how it grows and assumes shape and the forms of truth as it progresses.
