"LIKE AS A FATHER PITIETH"

Archibald McLellan

The Mosaic law of "an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth," carries with it the thought of vengeance as well as retribution, whereas the law of Christ brings the healing touch which cleanses from all sin; the law which, as Mrs.

WAITING ON GOD

Annie M. Knott

There are thousands who have listened to the beautiful aria, "O rest in the Lord," and who have felt at least momentarily that it is good to "wait patiently" for God, who have never thought of applying this profound truth to every difficult experience of daily life.

"WHEN THOU PRAYEST."

John B. Willis

It is not surprising, perhaps, that the novice in Christian Science should find himself somewhat confused as to the proper function and form of prayer.

GROWTH

Annie M. Knott

When we look about us at this season of the year and behold the rich and rare colors of the early autumn as reflected by fruit and flower, we may well pause to consider the significant statement of our text-book, "that God creates all through Mind, not through matter,—that the plant grows, not because of seed or soil, but because growth is the eternal mandate of Mind".

Narratives of exploration always have a fascination which is both peculiar and persistent.

"POWER TO HEAL SICKNESSES."

Archibald McLellan

NO BASIS FOR FEAR

Archibald McLellan

A physician in a recent letter to a New York newspaper calls attention to the varied and groundless fears which he alleges govern mortals from their earliest to their latest experience, and, speaking doubtless from experience of the effect which indulgence of these fears procures in the way of physical and mental disorders, he makes an earnest plea for their overcoming.

THE ONE MIND

Annie M. Knott

THERE is no part of the teaching of Christian Science which is of such vital importance as its steady insistence that in reality there is but one Mind, and that God, infinite Love.

PRECEPT AND PRACTICE

Archibald McLellan

IT seems strange indeed that the part of Jesus' ministry to which public attention was chiefly directed, for we read that wherever he went the multitude thronged about him, eager to share in the blessings so freely bestowed, and that part on which the most stress was laid by the Gospel writers, namely, the healing of the sick, should have gradually passed into decadence and been put aside by later generations as impossible, impracticable, or obsolete.
