 extremes as to read such words as these in Tyndall's Belfast address of 1865, "Supposing the molecules of the human body to be gathered first hand from nature and placed in the exact relative positions which they oc- cupy in the body. Supposing them to have the same forces and distribution of forces, the same motions and dis Uibution of motions-would this or ganiged concourse of molecules stand before us sentlent thinking being? There seems no valid reason to assume that it would not" Such nonsense comes near to making even the Wearison1e, confused tumble, crude, incondite' of Science and Health relief. The very next year after the Belfast address, Mrs. Eddy, discover ed,' she says Christian Science" ana began to say God Is all; matter is mo- i thing; the mind controls the body not 1 partially but wholly" No physicist eould write the Belfast address today. Men have come again to see that this. is a spiritual universe, that the primal and supreme fact is personality-that matter and force are only inferred from consciousness and must logically be interpreted if at all in terms of thought and will. The doctrine of the divine immanence Is sweeping all before it. Every bush is aflame with God for those who truly see. Here is the mighty truth which Mrs. Eddy suggests in her doctrine of the 'all- ptss of God,' though she mutilates, it i by her denial of Divine indwelling in nature and in man; with her, physical nature is unknown to God and "Prin- ciple Is never in it's idea, that is God is not in man; she does however sug- eest an intimate and inseparable re- \ llationship which in a higher and more 4 perfect form has ever been the glory of the Christian faith.
 Speak to Him thou for He hears,
 and Spirit with Spirit can meet Closer is He than breathing,
 and nearer than hands and feet"
 T live, yet not but Christ liveth in me-" cries the apostles who is per suaded that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalitles, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature shall be able to separate Us from the love of God, which is in Jesus Christ our Lord"
 That the universe is spiritual throughout, and that man is called tc immediate and eternal fellowship with the Infinite Spirit that informs 1t all are truths which Mrs. Eddy's teaching has brought home with new force ett many a nominal church member il the last generation. And more thar this her teaching that this infinite spirit is love, though that truth Is the very heart of all Christianity, and though her Hinduism erhptlesN that low of it's deepest meaning has served tc awaken many indifferent minds to . new hope and trust; the novelty of tn, intefwoven orientalissn, the f1nality 0 teachers tone and the expectation i not the realization of physical beneht conspire to make the mind impression, able to the old new truth of tho good ness of God But the Christian whc reads the love of God in the real sacri fee of Jesus Christ finds content ir that love beside which Mrs. Eddy! phrases are poor and empty.

 "Ive got word like sword in m1
 heart, that has pierced it througl
 and through.
 When a message comes to man iron
 Heaven he needn't ask if it's true,
 There's ncne on earth could fyam'
 such a tale, for as strange as the tai
 may be,
 Jesus my sHyicN~, that Thou shoulds
 die for love of man like me!
 It was for me that Jesus died! for m and 2 world O. w1n
 Just as sinful and Just as slow to giv
 back his love aIain
 He d.an't w1.t t!ll came to Him, bu
 He loved me at my worst.
 He nredn't ever have died for me, if | could have loved Him first" In the love which answers this loy
 of God, trust and joy and peace a iborn. Worry, despondency, disconten envy, fear, these are infidelity; the have no place in the Christian hear It Is not tlat there is no care ar that God knows no care--but we Tea all our care upon Him for He care for us;" it Is not that af1iet!on is u real but tour light afTilction which but for a moment, worketh for us f | more exceeding and eternal weight glory" It is not that the thorn the flesh is an illusion which metaph sical understanding causes to depal I but that the Divine answer comes tho thrice re ated cry for healin i"Nr grace is sufficient for thee; \ nay strength is made perfect in wea N ness" and we come, if such be Goo Il will, to glory rather in our infirn N ties that the power of Christ may re a upon us" It is not that all things g \ pleasant and as we would, but "' know that all things work together Il good to them that love God" It is T ls that all things are as they should N now even though we are heirs of G 3B and joint heirs with Jesus Chris HI For we know that the whole creati M groaneth and travaileth in pain la gether until now, and not only they sl ourselves also, waiting for "t sS redemption of our body For we 2 RI saved by hope" Here is the norm al ln...-,ra, ,,n of the ChrIstian. ..Rainina
