Thackeray Letters in Scribner's


 From London Memories by Brander
 Matthews. in the Scribner.
 It must have been one afternoon in the summer of 1883, when Brookfield and Pollock and I were chatting after lunch con in the smoking room of the Savlle that the talk turned upon Vanity Fair. Brookfield remarked to me very cas- uallv My mother has a lot of Thack cray letters When I inquired why this correspondence had not been. printed. he replied that his mother had offered them without success to the London publisher who was the owner Of the Thackeray copyrights. I knew that the law laid down by the English court when Chesterfield protested against the pubh- cation of his letters to his son. admitted the physical ownership of letter by the recipient, while reserving to tho sender the right to control publications; and I saw that the situation was dead- lock, since Mrs. Brookfield could not sell her letters for publication without the permission of the owner of Thackeray copyrights whereas, the publisher could not issue the correspondence unless she supplied him with the copy.
 When Charley Brookfield went on to tell me that Miss Thackeray (now Lady Ritchie) had written to his mother a cordial approval of any publication Mrs. Brookfield might desire, saw no req son why Thackerays letters should not make their first appearance Tn the United States. where there was no recognition of the exclusive ownership of any Brit ish copyright and I suggested that 4 should be glad to offer the correspon- dence to an American publisher if the Brookfields would like me to do So. Charley thanked me and said he would convey my proposal to his mother.
 In the spring of 1884 I went over to London again. As soon as I saw Brook field in the Savile I once more inquired about the correspondence and he returned an answer as before-that his mother was at work over the letters. l returned home again in the fall, having heard nothing further. Then most unexpect- edly in March. 1885, received a caple message: Advise publication Thackeray letters, Rrookfeld, Haymarket"

An Afternoon With Riley

From "The Harmony or Lire, the Edi-
 tor. in National Magazine.
 The bulwark of the nation is the har- mony of our home life Within few weeks was with James Whitcomb Riley In the very fields which he has immor- talized in his poems He. 1t was who idealized the real and made life on the farm seem sweeter and more harmonious than ever before What was the key note of this kind-hearted Hoosier poet who passed away with the affectionate remembrance of millions?
 Beloved friend! Good heart! Harmo- nious heart of childhood's fancy. or youths vision. of maturity and age! Gods own heart of humanity and love! Because you lived, all life IS sweeter now!'
 It was the harmony of his life in har- mony with his country that made James Whitconb Riley most true and valiant patriot. To you. as farmers, Riley wrote: Tt hain't no use to grumble and cosn- plain.
 It's just as cheap and easy to rejoice! When God sorts out the weather. and sends rain. Why. rains my choice!'

MIND NOT DEPENDENT UPON BRAINS

The only thing that ever lives is mind.
 Take away all thoughts or consciousness and matter does not even appear to live.
 The fact is that matter neither lives nor thinks, and this is true notwithstanding the general belief that brains. as matter. constitute a thinking organ. This belief is so universal that 1t overwhelms the whole race, so that when an injury hap pens to the brain the mind of the pe"- son is affected unless he be rescued by Christian Science from that universal belief This is not to say that human being could get along without brains. The object of Christian Science practice is not to have him get along without brains. but to have him get better brains.

can be accomplished only by such enhsht- enment as shall const ute regeneration To suppose that the race may be permit ted to think and act contrary to truth and then be healed of it's consequent sufferings by applying something in- wardly to the human body is unworthy of either science or religion. There is no such material short cut to health and happiness. The road is straight, and possibly it may appear narrow to those who need to watch their thought and conduct. but it is the only way, and when followed results in more rapid and per manent healing than has ever been brought about by any other method.
 It is inconceivable that divine intelli gence, Spirit. could not do anything di- rectly that needs to be done, and conse- quently not conceivable that it could or would provide some indirect means for healing the sick
 Theories predicated upon the necessity for material remedies or methods in healing are wanting in reason and logic. Now observe that the method of Chris tian Science is diametrically opposite to them. 1t illustrates the scientific ideal: for even in the mechanical world there has always been the hope that sometime or other power would become available by direct means and without waste of eLeiSy UT JOSS III tranSinlsSlon. ms idea has never been applied to the heal ing of the sick or the regeneration of mankind until the advent of Christian Science. In this practice alone we have 1t applied and the ideal practically real ized and illustrated. The power which heals disease in Christian Science is the divine Mind. It is available only as Mind. While the ordinary physician says that he believes in the intelligent use of drugs or other material remedies, We say and prove that we know how to rely upon divine intelligence itself. Where is the real thinker who can doubt that the latter system is far more scientific than the former?

ENLIGHTENMENT REVEALS
 DIRECT POWER

Now, the intelligence which heals is divine and yet attainable. Christian Science makes 1t so. and shows the un-
 mistakable way of attaining it. It Is, however. as true now as it is ever was that there Is no royal road to learning. and 1t Is equally true that there is no mere material road to health. All mate rial systems of healing are based upon the false supposition that there. is such . road. They are vain attempts to ae- eouplish by material means that whicA

kind can ever explain error satisfac- torily in any other way. If evil could be accounted for as if it were true or part of truth, it would be perpetuated, not destroyed and such attempted eX- planation would be just what it all ways has been in all previously prevail ing systems, a calamity rather than help tO the human race.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-11-06
BELIEF WHICH LIMITS

The power which Christian Science ex- ercises is the understanding of God. It is truly invisible, but not unavailable on that account. We walk and talk and move and have our being by invisible power. If we understood this power alright nothing could ever interfere with our walking or talking or moving. As it is, humanity is taught to believe that the power which moves the body, as well as the power made available in mechan- ics and physics, is material. With this belieS of power is associated all the fear and limitation incidental to matter. The man who walks or moves. as all do more or less in accordance with this human sense of power. may find that disease or some disaster interferes with the legiti- mate use of such power. and, under such influence, may find that he cannot walk or move harmoniously. Christian Sci ence, lifting thought above such theories of power, reveals it's true nature, and making it available, heals him. When power shall be fully understood accord ing to it's, divine nature, then it will be found that there is no law of adhesion, cohesion or attraction, or of any other kind whatsoever. that can injure man. for the real character of law is blessed, seeing that it has it's being in the divine Principle, the one God, who is Love. For this and other similar reasons Christian science sulIIerS rom Olner SClenceS. Oru- nary systems of science take no account of moral or spiritual requirements. Christian Science is unique in this re- spect. It cannot be understood nor dem onstrated fully through mere intellectual ity. The divine intelligence is available to man only as divine Love, which was humanly Illustrated in the highest de- gree by Christ Jesus. Therefore, Chris tian Science requires not only intellect uality. but the highest morality and spirit uality.

CHRIST TRUTH THE REDEEMER

Pau, says that we shall be transformed by the renewing of the mind. Our minds consist of thoughts. For our minds to be transformed, therefore, we must get better thoughts, and the very best are as easy to acquire as any other, and inn measurably more helpful. That they are divinely natural all spi.itual teachers of the world have declared. and in some degree illustrated. Isaiah prophesed hundreds of years before tine event that the coming of Jesus would exemplify the availability of Gods power among men, Immanuel, God with us-observe not only God with him. but God with Us, showing the universality of truth. Jesus has been called the Savior of mankind because he illustrated that universality. He said: 'Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free" To one who reads the
 Bible without preconceived notions or prejudice. 1t unmistakably announces the impersonality of the Redeemer. The book of Job was also written centuries before Jesus was born. It says: "I know that my Redeemcr liveth." and declares the ever-p presence and power of that Re deemer by showing that the impersonal Redeemer shall prevail over the final efforts of evil in ones consciousness. The words are: And that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth"

INTELLIGENCE DIVINE
 AND PRACTICAL

Intelligence Is both a prerequisite and concomitant of all legitimate scientific and Christian endeavor. Its nature is l.nquestionably infinite. therefore prima rily divine. In view of this fact how utterly unreasonable to dissociate God from science. Consequently, Christian Scientists, though ardent Christians, are not less. but more scientific than other scientists. When asked how Christian Science heals. they can truthfully an swer, through intelligence; may they not reasonably ask in their turn, IS there any other way of doing anything cor rectiy?

INVISIBLE POWER
 THE ONLY POWER

THE ONLY POWER
 | Thoughts alone constitute education. | The consequent improvement of material l things, together with all other visible evidences of human progress, IS made possible only by improved thoughts which, though invisible, are thus shoWh to have tangible being and evidence. Aft CT all, material tangibility Is compara- lively unimportant. It is merely the l outward and temporary sign of some thing far more enduring and tangible All science consists of thoughts, and so to the thinker who looks for cause III the world and searches for it's la"' thoughts are the phenomena of first inn portance. All science, art and religion consist of thoughts. Even the science or mathematics is invisible in principle and rule. Can it be said on that account that it is not tangible? Music and poetry consist of thoughts. No art is possible without ideas, and they must indeed be of a very superior nature to justify the use of the word art in relation to then1
 The greatest things of the world are all invisible, which does not imply that they are intangible. Thought, though invisible, constitutes all education and does everything that the human race is said to be doing. Truth is invisible; life is invisible; law is invisible; intelligence and mind are invisible; the love which
  and even ones own character, which in- deed to the extent that it Is good is the only thing about one that indicates the real man. is invisible. The divine Ike ness is thus humanly indicated, though not materially seen.
 Integrity and honesty constituting reputation, all invisipre. are so tangible in business that, if they be in evidence, one may borrow money on them at the bank when he could not borrow a dollar on his visible body. Which then Is really more tangible to that really practical man, the banker, the invisible character or the visible appearance?
 The thought which constitutes irn- proved education. though itself invisible. is producing visible results. Why should this not be true in Christian Science also? As matter of fact 1t is strik ngly true. To exercise an invisible power, then. in healing disease is q re- cessity. seeing that all power is invis- ible. Even medical science depends upon faith in matter to heal disease. and that faith is invisible.

ALL INCLUSIVENESS OF
 THE SCIENCE OF MIND

Seeing the grandeur of Christian Science, therefore, fulfilling as it does the mission of any adequate definition of both science and religion, 1t is not strange that it should be encircling the globe, because it is greater than the globe or anything else. It is the science of that divine and infinite cause upon which everything depends and in which everything that is true in the uni verse originated, and by which every thing which is true is sustained and perpetuated. It must eventually control the world. It could not do so as per sonal influence or desire, and any ten dency upon the part of human beings to so restrict Christian Science would be to delay its full demonstration of blessing and peace for humanity. It's divine control humanly illustrated can only be proved and experienced through the unselfish recognition and demonstration of it's divine principle In human hearts and lives. Manifestly such science can form no adjunct to ordinary education and knowledge. It is not less than anything else, but greater than all things. It is neces- sarily basic to all right knowledge, and must be so recognized by those who would demonstrate if.
 Influenced by mere traditional belief and fear some people believe that the signs of these times indicate the end of the world. Such views rest upon material beliefs. When you read the Bible in the light which Christian Science throws upon it you will see that it is only the end of error that is prophesied. This is not an event to be feared. but is desirable in every way, and we should help to fulfill such prophecy by gaining the enlighten- ment essential to its fulfillment.
 PEACE
 With no understanding of God as di- vine Principle. human beings are sub- feet to fear, and fear in turn begets envy, hatred, malice, revenge, false pride and mad ambition. all of which are the brood of evils that make war. If we are entertaining any of them in ourselves 1t would be in vain for us to pray for peace to come to others. The efficacious prayer of Christian science begins to eliminate these ele- ments from our own thought and lives. When they shall cease from our lives and no longer find lodgment in our consciousness then we have established peace on firm foundations. The help of such prayer, though it appears per- sonal, really extends to all mankind. It Is therefore possible that we who

She established the cause of Chris tian Science and gave to tine move nent the church organization for the protection of humanity and for the purpose of perpetuating this science of Christ unadulterated. This church, which she named the Church of Christ, Scientist, is an organization with no ulterior or hidden motives or designs.

MARY BAKER EDDY'S
 DISCOVERY

Enlightenment is the essential fea- ture of true prayer. Mrs. Eddy's dis covery of Christian Science involved this prayer, which is it's method or modus operandi. and by which divine power becomes available to mankind. Mrs Eddy was able to discover this science because she was clearer than anybody else in the world That mental clearness was prayer with her, and is prayer with anybody who attains it. It signifies the ability to distin- guish between spiritual truth, that is permanent, and the errors of human existence. that are always temporal and always to be resisted and over come through proper education.
 Mrs. Eddy was a genius of the very highest order. Since the early Chris tian era there has been no instance equal. to it. The recognition of that genius will ultimately be universal, because 1t will be seen that the quail ity of it, being spiritual, far tran scends every other form of genius known to the world
