The proceedings hardly permit OF de-

OF the testimony offered as evidence,

with the closest attention and accepted
apparently as unquestioned evidence or
the healing powers of Christian Science.
What TO ,ne outsider was OF more I'M

gregational singing OF the two hymns
written by Mrs. s}1ddy-"Shepherd, Show

a pleasant musical memory OF the un-
