peaceful music flows in on you, you seem to strike a chord in the Infinite, and the 'I' within seems to be floating in infinity into the great harmonies of the universe. 'Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.' These thoughts sink deep down into our minds and come back to us laden with a richness of meaning. It is the law of action and reaction. man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth good things.' What we hold in our minds we become.

"When I came here I wore glasses, but when my spiritual self began to see, my eyes grew stronger, and I discovered that I did not see with my eyes but through them. I began by not wearing them in the house and for several months that was quite easy, for they were near at hand if I should need them. One day I forgot to put them on when I went in a hurry to the store. When returning I discovered that I did not have them on. Next time I went down town it was cloudy, and I said, 'I will not wear them, for the sun will not hurt my eyes.' I found I had to argue with myself, but I conquered. You all know that I used to use a trumpet to hear with, but I have found that I can hear, and now my glasses are too old for me, and I do not need any artificial assistance to help me to hear. And it is all because I acknowledge God in all my ways."

In a good private letter from Mrs. Leeman, Holton, Kas., reference was made to her success in treating drink and morphine habit, and with editorial freedom we put it in the January Unity. She now writes that she is in consequence overrun with patients, and incidently wants to know whether we were inspired by the Spirit or the mortal when we made her modest admission public property. The Spirit only rules here and good will come of all our words and acts.

CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS AT MISSOURI'S CAPITAL.

Tuesday evening, February 6th, I attended an experience meeting at Jefferson City that was grand. It was a meeting of a joint House and Senate Committee to hear arguments for and against certain bills having been drawn for the purpose of legislating all organizations or practices such as Christian Science, Mental Science, Divine Science, Magnetic Healing, Hypnotism, etc., out of existence, leaving the Allopathic school of medicine in supreme control, with the Homeopathic and Osteopathic schools able to live on the side. The Christian Scientists came in force, likewise the doctors, weighted with knowledge and superstitions of ages. The Christian Scientists were given the first two and a half hours to present the irside of the question, and present it they did in a manner that made friends of all liberty-loving people in the hall. They stood and answered all questions put to them in such a manner that few cared to question them, and they put the doctors, lawyers and preachers that were arrayed against them to confusion.

They told of their personal experiences, well-known, prominent citizens of this city and other cities giving testimony as to the wonderful cures that came to them through Christian Science after their cases had been pronounced helpless and hopeless by well-known physicians of their respective and other cities. The Hall of Representatives was quickly turned into an experience meeting in which they told of being cured of total blindness, and of divers diseases, after being pronounced incurable by wellknown physicians. They put to shame some of the M. D.'s that followed, and caused Mr. Palmore, the great M. E. divine of St. Louis and editor of a church publication, to lose his temper. This minister used language and told of matters (germane to the subject) that belonged only to vile court trials, and shocked the entire audience. A late governor of Missouri remarked that Palmore's speech was shameful in such an audience. But is was far beyond the line of shameful. Attorney Blanton, of St. Louis, was put to confusion and finally quit speaking with the remark that the Christian Scientists were the brightest lot of people he had ever met. When asked, "All who have been cured by Christian Science, stand up," about three hundred stood up. And then, "All who have been cured after being pronounced incurable by the medical profession," nearly as many stood up. Many expressions of interest and sympathy were made by senators and representatives, and the seed thus sown will probably bear fruit to help in the uplifting of the good people of our state.

H. R. WALMSLEY.

[Mr. Walmsley tells us that some of the Christian Scientists expressed themselves as in favor of the passage of a bill which would include the M. D.'s and S. C.'s and exclude all other schools of healing. However, we are generous enough to think that such a spirit of intolerance and injustice was not popular among them. The time is at hand when Truth shall be so thoroughly established in the consciousness of its adherents that they will not need legislative laws to protect them. Truth is neither intolerant nor fanatical, but luminous, generous, free. "Where Christ is there is liberty."- ED.]
