ONE EVENING FILTER was playing
idly about by himself. All his
brothers and sisters and cousins hap
pened to be busy about their own
affairs, and as Filter had been lucky
in finding a good supper early in the
evening, he had time to spare before
the evening games began. He did

the old grapevine home of the mice.

Now Filter did not realize that 1t

run into danger-just for sport. He
did not have to hunt out the owl
home; the mice were satisfied and
happy in their new home; and down
in the bottom of his heart, Filter
must have known that he was doing
this just to get the praise that would
come when he told the timid mice
what he had done. There were many
things that Filter did not stop to
think about, so it's not much wonder
that he failed to consider that It is
the motive, not the danger, which de-
termines the bravery Of an act.

VICTORY FOR CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

Science! The granting by the New
York court of appeals of a new trial
to a Christian Science practitioner who
for four years has been fighting his
conviction of the Illegal practice of
medicine is regarded ass substantial
victory by Christian Scientists. The
court, which was unanimous in its
opinion, based the decision upon the
exception in the medical license law to
the effect that its provisions should not
prevent "the practice of the religious
tenets of any church" Judge Chase, in
writing the opinion, said it could not
treat disease by the Christian Science
method, and Judge Bartlett, i'll mem
orandum experimenting the general
opinion, said, Il would go further;
deny the power of the legislature to
make II crime to treat disease by
prayer" The case of Christian Sci
ence practitioners illustrates the diff
Guilty of the state dealing with sincere
religious beliefs. If person believes
in treating disease by prayer alone, the
state certainly cannot interfere with
that belief, and probably Judge Bart
lett is right in saying that it cannot be
considered u crime if one treats by
prayer those who come to him for that
sort of treatmept.' There should be
some protection, however for infants
and all minors who are not competent
to choose for themselves in case of
