The healing of the sick, however, is not the primary purpose of Chris- tian Science. According to the teach- ings of this science all sickness and disease result from error and false, belief, which are summarized as sin, and when the error of belief is des- troyed by the truth which Christian Science imparts, the. disease disap- pears. Christian Science, therefore, teaches that the cause of all disease and sin is mental; and not physical, and that and disease may be cured by one and the same metaphy- sical BS, Bamely, by the substi- tution of ual troth in place of error and belief in the human consciousness. : It Is recorded in John VIII that E. t---------- to Christian Sclened has healed many sick people 1; "hence, ing will be del and desth not: sical, but by tr Ta re of deliveyed ing in the hwwan mentality, troying d to #in, disease and death. somewhere, and when emanel] from bondage to evil conce § relationship tures, and may Vi person when the scriptures are right- ly interpréted.

Lord Roberts' Appeal on Behalf of Volunteer Army. lord Raberts, who died on Novem- hér 16th, among his last services, wrote the following letter to the Times: Bir; Will you kindly allow = me, through the medium of your paper, to make an appeal to my country- men and women upon a most vital subject which is causing me great uneasiness?. All classes in the Unit- ed Kingdom are showing a keen in- terest in our forces engaged in the gtruggla now going on for our coun- try's existence as a nation, and: they are being munificent in their efforts to 'supply the wants of our gallant soldiers and sailors fighting abroad. But 1 feel it my duty to point out to the civil populationthatputtingtemp- tation in the way of our soldiers by injudiciously treating them to drink is injurious to them and prejudical to our chances of victory. Thousands LH 5 ard now collected 3 fn 'various places, and are igving their work interfered with #nd their constitutions 'undermined By being tempted todrinkby a friend- 1y but thoughtless public, and also by the faet that publichouses are kept open to a late hour of the night, I cannot believe that the owners of such Houses are less patriotic and more -self-seeking than their féllow- subjects, or that they would delibera- tely for the sake of gain, prevent our soldiers being sufficiently trained in body and nerve to enable them | to undergo the strain of the arduous service. which is before them --a strain which only the strongest phy- sically and morally can be trusted to endure, I therefore beg most ear- nestly that publicans in particular and the public generally will do their J best to prevent our young soldiers being fempted to drink. My appeal applet equally for the members of the oversea contingents, who have so generously and unselfishly come over to help us in our hour of need. I hear that 300 of the Canadian con- tingent are to take part in the lord mayor's show next Monday, and my sincere hope is that while extending to them a hearty British welcome, no tempiation to excess may be put in the way of these soldiers of the king, men whom the nation delights to honor, which will tend to lower them in the eyes of the world.

The women of Canada are not only endorsing but 'actively backing up the movement to buy Made-in-Canada goods. Why? Not because women are more . patriotic than men --- though sometimes they séem to be. It is becanse in the actual business of life when it comes to buying for the family and the household; women are more practical than Wen. It is all right to be patriotic, as long as at the sarne time we are practi- cal, Buying goods made in this country. by Canadian labor is a patriotic. snd common-sense business.
