in every land, and is perhaps today the most
widely read book published in the English
language next to the Bible. A great relig
ious organization has formed around its
teachings, and Christian Science is now en-
gaging the attention of thinking men and
momenain every part. of, the world. It has
been truly said that the remarkable spread
of Christian Science over the earth is COM
parable to nothing in history except to the
spread of Christianity in the early centuries
of the present era.
When viewed from, any point Mrs. Eddy
stands as one of the great characters of this
age. She has made discovery in the realm
of metaphysics that exerts and must con-
tinue to exert more far-reaching influence
upon humanity than any discovery ever
made in the physical realm. She has found
ed religion that has restored to mankind
the spiritual healing as practiscd by the
primitive church. Within the brief space
of one generation her teachings have so i'm
pressed themselves upon the public that it
would be difficult to find place where there
is not Christian Science church or society
or at least where there are some Christian
Scientists.
l shall never forget my impressions when
l first heard the operation of Marconl in
strument. 1t filled me with sense of awe
when I realized that there was going on
through the atmosphere about me aconver-
sation of which my senses could take no
cognzance. And yet the law governing
the transmission of wireless messages has
always existed. We have lived and moved
in it, but it was not until some one discov-
cred it that it became available to mankind.
So it is with the spiritual law of life discov-
cred by Mrs. Eddy. 1t has always existed.
We have lived and moved and had our be-
ing in it, as Paul says, but it was not avail
able until it was apprehended.
Mrs. Eddy has been assaulted by critics,
but that is not surprising. There has never
been pioneer of new and better things,
leader of thought, who has escaped from
criticism or whose ideals have been at once
accepted by all. Out of all the criticism
and misunderstanding of Christian Science
and its Leader and Founder, however, there
stands the fact that it has healed a multitude
of people. Sooner or later every person
will adopt that system of religious teaching
which brings the largest measure of help
and hope and consolation, and so long as
any remain who are suffering from unhap-
piness or sickness or sin, Christian Science
will offer to them sure means of finding
divine help.

OUR EXCHANGES
Reviewed by Beau Esprita.

IT'S birth date we would cele-
brate this week-the first number
of the thirteenth volume of THE
BELLMAN is just come to hand. Mod
est is The Bellman, equivocala as that
may seem to be, for he takes but a
few brief paragraphs In which to
tell his life story though his achieve
ments during the past six years have
been numerous and notable. The
Bellman has introduced to us at least
two new poets in that time, and
both have made good for themselves
and for their sponsor by continuing
line of consistently progressive
work. A weekly letter from Bos-
ton, New York, London, Paris,
each, well written upon timely top
les, adds interest to the thjrty-odd
pages of distinct.vly instructive mat
ter IF which each number consists.
Congratulations and best wishes,
Mr.. Bellman.
A copy of the July issue of The
MEDIATOR, the first number of this
magazine that I have seen. has just
come in. Perhaps better idea of
it's contents can be conveyed by a
few random quotations than by at
tempting a complete review:
When you receive a kindness,
remember it; when you bestow one,
forget it,
He does something we'll worth

"A harsh answer turneth away

Americas greatest fnancier is the

The question of the hour: Boss
ism versus Socialism. When a man
thinks his superiors are down on
him, he is mentally preparing his
own downfall. Progressivness car
ried to extreme is retrogression. 1t
is essential that the people of the
country should recognize that eter-
nal vigilance is the price of liberty.
But when eternal vigilance is car
ried to af> extreme, liberty is lost.
Men do not progress except through
a spirit of tolerance.
The magazine carries at the head
of its editorial page the caption, A
magazine of Industrial Economy"
1t abounds in articles written in a
terse, epigramatic style, well worth
the reading, whatever your social
views.

Human Existence an Enigma.

Human Existence an Enigma.
Human existence is an enigma. AS far
back as mortal man has left any history of
himself we find that he has been engaged in
an effort to solve this problem. To aid
him in his efforts he has founded religions
many of them. He has devised many sys-
tens for healing the sick. He has built
schools and endowed societies for research,
and has invoked the aid of physical science.
He has been industrious and painstaking,
and has faithfully adhered to whatever thing
seemed for the time being to offer solution.
1t must be admitted, however, that none of
these things have solved the problem.
When we look at the question from the
physical standpoint we find that humanity
enjoys some sunshine, and goes through
much shadow; that it suffers and dies, and
that these conditions have continued from
the beginning of human history. We read
