 Mrs. G. o. LowERY, 911 s. Barrett Ave-, Denison, Texas.
 Write the Lydia B. Pinkham Medi- cine Co.,. Lynn, Mass, for free advice. Matthew, and pointing to the first verse, said, Read that" The visitor read:
 "And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disaese."
 When he had finished the reading, the inmates caught at his hand. "Send me one of those men! Send me one of those men!" he pleaded. But the at tendants smiled, shook their heads and murmured that it was sad case.
 Let each one of us who dares to name the name of Christianity, sol emnly ask himself this question:: Am l trying to be one of those men? Had I been approached as was this visitor, could I have said to the unfortunate one, "Why, friend, I believe in Chris tian healing! I am trying to be one of Jesus disciples-'one of those men and the power that banished devils in the days of the Master can free you now" If we are unable honestly to face the situation thus, let us go forth resolved to sit at the feet of the Christ and meekly learn of that power the possession of which alone entities us to the sacred name of Christian.
 The Power Imparted by Jesus.
 What was the power which Jesus imparted first to the>twelve and later to the seventy disciples? It could not have been a mysterious magnetic cur rent flowing from the personality of Jesus to those about him, as some would aver, for, as has been stated, Jesus insisted that of himself he could do nothing. and that it was the Father dwelling in him that did the works. Again, in the well-known passage from the fourteenth chapter of John, he states that his mighty works shall be done by those who believe on him, or in other words, those who under Principle thereof. Thus we see that the power given by Jesus to his fol- lowers was a spiritual understanding, just as teacher in school gives his pupils power to solve problems in arithemetic when he shows them the rule and principle basing arithmetic. But apparently no definite rule was left by Jesus whereby this vital teach ing was discernible. Here let us offer up psalms of thanksgiving! In this wonderful volume, Science and Health, has been revealed that treasure which to the unenlightened sense remained lost in the pages of the Bible for cent uries. And today a Christian is with out excuse who, when asked to heal the sick and cast out demons, turns his back and says. " I am not one of those mem"
 '''The Truth Shall Make You Free"
 Jesus said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" The all-important question, therefore, is What truth? What is the truth which Jesus taught, the un- 'derstanding of which will enable us to reinstate primitive Christianity with signs and power? Answering this. stu pendous question, Mrs. Eddy directs thought to the first chapter of Gene sis.
 The truth revealed in the opening chapter of the Bible, like all great things, is infinitely simple. Herein we see record of creation depicting successive steps of unfoldment, sym bolized by the appearing of light, the heavens, the earth, the growing things upon the earth, the heavenly bodies, the fowl of the air, the fish of the sea, the creatures that move upon the earth, and lastly, the highest creation, man. He is made in the image and likeness of God and is given dominion over all the earth. At the close of each step in the progression we read: "And God saw that it was good" Then at the conclusion of the chapter ap- pears that mighty statement passing all truth, "And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good" The second chapter opens with this statement: "Thus the heav- ems and the earth were finished, and all the host of them" Could words be more plain? Creation is finished, and it is good, yea, "very good" No evil has been created, no sickness, sin, or death. :: Do you realize, also, that the man mentioned in the first chap ter, is not made cof. the dust of the ground, but in the image and likeness of God? In other words, he is made God-like. and as God. is Spirit, the man of His creating must be spiritual.
 Remarkable Discovery of Christian
 Science. z Now comes the remarkable and rev olutionary discovery of Christian Science. The second chapter of Gen esis, containing the Adam and Eve narrative, is seenoto be new and different record of creation, separate and distinct from that covered in the,
