"LET THE DEAD BURY THEIR DEAD."

John B. Willis

The gain attending the spiritual interpretation which Christian Science brings to the Scripture is never more apparent than when one comes to the study of the epigrammatic sayings of Christ Jesus, and a good illustrative instance is found in his seemingly severe rebuke to one who had craved the privilege of delaying his spiritual activity until he had buried his father.

Annie M. Knott

Archibald McLellan

CLIMBING THE LADDER.

John B. Willis

The sentiment involved in Jacob's undertaking, and the hopes that must have filled his heart, may have given interpretation as well as form to his wondrous dream, but whatever else the vision may have signified, it must have spoken to him as to us of the possibility of ascension, and indicated the way thereto; namely, by taking the successive steps of sincere and honest effort, by the progressive escape from a "low-vaulted past" through the attainment of a higher, more heavenly sense.
