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".

"POWER TO HEAL SICKNESSES."

Archibald McLellan

That man is subject to sickness, and that sickness can be cured and life prolonged only by material means, is the claim upon which all attempts to secure so-called medical legislation, or legislation for "the conservation of human life," are based; and the question before the public at the present time is whether this assumption is true.

CONSECRATION

Annie M. Knott

Christian Science gives a wonderful interest to every part of the Scriptures by unfolding the spiritual sense and significance of all things therein, and by showing the relation of type and symbol to the tasks of each day.

THE TRUE SETTING

John B. Willis

A favored visitor in a beautiful home was moved with a sense of gratitude that his noble friends could have such an attractive place in which to dwell and dispense their gracious hospitality, and as he went his way he mused much upon how fitting it would be if every fine, high, unselfish thought had the native and legitimate setting for all that is true and good.

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.

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.

THE REFLECTION OF JOY

John B. Willis

How pleasant, in one's rambles, to come upon the little wild flowers, here and there, and receive their chaste and gentle greeting.

THE CALL OF DUTY

Annie M. Knott

The press of England and America has devoted many columns in the last week to giving heartfelt expressions of love and reverence for Florence Nightingale, the noble Englishwoman whose earthly career has so recently closed.

SCIENCE AND HEALTH MOST WIDELY READ

Archibald McLellan

The frequency with which books on certain subjects are borrowed from the public libraries may be taken as fairly indicative of the degree of interest which these subjects have for the people at large.
