Editorial

THAT was a very sensible and suggestive word which Professor James uttered recently, when he said that in the event of our inability to reach a definite judgment respecting any vital question, we would always do well if we allowed our hope and better emotions to tip the scale, and decide for us in favor of an optimistic conclusion.

Annie M. Knott

An interesting report of prison work may be found on another page, and perhaps the feature most deserving of notice is the fact that the workers wisely avoided the common mistake of attempting much in the way of personal explanation, and allowed the "word of life" to do its own work, as it surely will, sooner or later.

As to Quotations

Archibald McLellan

It has often been observed that children whose parents have done a great deal for them, presume upon the loving kindness of those to whom they are so deeply indebted, and soon come to look upon the property of their parents as something which may be freely used without the formality of first asking permission; and it is to be regretted that, to a certain extent, some Christian Scientists have drifted into this manner of regarding Mrs.
