 1     HINTS TO THE CLERGY 

  	    At the residence of Mr. Rawson, of Arlington, Massa-
 3	chusetts, a happy concourse of friends had gathered to
  	celebrate the eighty-second birthday of his mother — a
  	friend of mine, and a Christian Scientist. 
 6	    Among the guests, were an orthodox clergyman, his
  	wife and child. 
  	    In the course of the evening, conversation drifted to
 9	the seventh modern wonder, Christian Science; where-
  	upon the mother, Mrs. Rawson, who had drunk at its
  	fount, firmly bore testimony to the power of Christ, Truth,
12	to heal the sick. 
  	    Soon after this conversation, the clergyman's son
  	was taken violently ill. Then was the clergyman's
15	opportunity to demand a proof of what the Christian
  	Scientist had declared; and he said to this venerable
  	Christian: —  
18	    "If you heal my son, when seeing, I may be led to
  	believe." 
  	    Mrs. Rawson then rose from her seat, and sat down
21	beside the sofa whereon lay the lad with burning brow,
  	moaning in pain. 
  	    Looking away from all material aid, to the spiritual
24	source and ever-present help, silently, through the divine
  	power, she healed him. 
  	    The deep flush faded from the face, a cool perspira-
27	tion spread over it, and he slept. 
  	    In about one hour he awoke, and was hungry. 
  	    The parents said: —  
30	    "Wait until we get home, and you shall have some
  	gruel."
