signalized his coronation in mem
orabIe manner by the muniticent gift
to the nation of Osborne House, one
of tile favorite residences of the late
Queen Victoria. The gift is made i'll
the following message to his people,
addressed to Prime Minister Balfour.
For reasons apparent in the document
itself. his majesty makes his intention
public The message is dated Buck
ingham Palace, Coronation Day, 1902,
and says:
Under the will of the kings much
beloved mother, the Osborne House
estate is, as Mr.. Balfour is aware, the
private estate of the sovereign. Hav-
ing to spend Il considerable part of the
year in the capital of this kingdom
and in its neighborhood, at Windsor,
and having also strong home ties in
the county of Norfolk, which have eX-
listed now for nearly forty years, the
king feels he will be unable to make
adequate use of Osborne House as Il
royal residence, and he, accordingly,
has determined to offer the property
in the Isle OF Wight as a gift to the
nation.
Home for Navy and Army Officers.
''As Osborne House is sacred to the
memory of the late queen, it is the
kings wish that with the exception Of
those apartments which We're in the
personal occupation of her majesty
his people shall always have access
to the house. which must ever be as
SOciated with her beloved name. AS
regards the rest of the building the
king hopes that it may be devoted to
national purposes and be converted into
Il cOnYalescent home for officers of the
navy and army whose health has been
impaired in rendering service to their
country If, in order to give full legal
effect to the kings wishes, it is found
that application to parliament be nec-
essary the king trusts that Mr.. Bal
four will see that the necessary steps
are in due course taken"
Seems Practically a Well Man.
London, Aug. 1.-THE following
bulletin concerning the kings condition
was issued yesterday: His majesty
bore the strain of the coronation GER
emony perfectly well. and experienced

letins will be Issued This is signed

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE DEPENDED.


To the Editor: In yours of date NO.
yember % you reported a sermon by
Evangelist Pearson in which ne states
in substance that Christian Science is
nonsense because there is no sense in IT..
The discourse on the whole is most ex
cellent and worthy the good man who
voiced it: but the one regret is that
Mr.. Pearson does not know that the de-
sire expressed by him for the close
study of the Bible and it's practical APP
plication in every detail of living is the
one successful aim of Christian Science,
for all Christian Scientists daily study
the Word and apply it in their every
necd--sickness as well as in sin.
We agree with him that The Sword
OF the Spirit is our weapon" and that
is why we choose the healing of Spirit
not of matter.
To Christian Scientist, and perhaps
to others, it may seem strange why this
brief reference to their faith should be
considered sufficient cause to make this
point the main headline of the report.
Perhaps our good editor considers it a
remarkable or monstrous accusation and
for this reason makes special note of it..
The declaration that Christian Science
il nonsense answers the purpose Of call
ing notice but contains little logic; one
might make such a claim against any
school of theology or medicine with
which he was unfamiliar in practice.
