AN OPINION
Sir. George Jacob Holyoake, of England, the friend and neighbor of the late Herbert Spencer, says this of "A New Catechism":
"It is the boldest, the brightest, the most varied and informing of any work of the kind extant. The book is a cyclopedia in a nutshell." —Literary Guide, London, Eng.
Prof. C. S. Laisant, one of the leading educators of France, and a member of the faculty of the College of France, says:
"Admiration is too feeble a word to express my opinion of 'A New Catechism.' It is a marvelous manual of rationalistic philosophy and scientific morality. To disseminate this book is to aid the cause of European democracy—the emancipation of the people. We congratulate Frenchmen for the opportunity of reading in their own language so beautiful and beneficent a book."
M. Vandervelde, member of the Parliament of Belgium, says:
"I know of no other work of its kind which is as lucid, as loyal to truth, and as attractive to the daily toiler, as it is to the philosopher."—In Introduction to French Edition.
Mr. Geo. W. Foote, of England, in The Freethinker:
"Mr. Mangasarian's well-known 'Catechism' promises to have a great sale in France and Belgium. The English edition ought to be widely circulated in this country. It is written with power, knowledge, and dexterity. Placed in the hands of young people, in particular, it should do a world of good for Free-thought."
WHAT THE EUROPEAN PAPERS SAY OF "A NEW CATECHISM"
"Grapples with the problems that underlie all the creeds and all the systems of science and philosophy."—Glasgow Herald.
"The author shows good judgment in devising questions and great fertility of resource in answering them. The book is well worth a perusal."—Educational News, London.
"Mr. Mangasarian seems to us to have hit upon a happy union of the brevity which is the soul of wit with the amplitude which conduces to enlightenment.... It is acute, stimulating and suggestive.... It is eminently readable, and we trust it will have the extensive sale which its intrinsic merit deserves."—Literary Guide, London.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
A Comedy in Four Acts
The book is meant for those in whom the spirit of inquiry is not hopelessly stifled. People who enjoy doing their thinking, will relish reading this comedy. The motto of the book is: "The light is known to have failed against folly sometimes, the laugh never." 80 pages. Cloth 25c, paper 10c.
The above should be read in connection with the author's pamphlet lecture on Why Mrs. Eddy's Teachings Appeal to Women, or Christian Science Analysed. Price, 10c.

The Independent Religious Society
Lectures are delivered every Sunday morning at 11 by M. M. Mangasarian, in Orchestra Hall, Michigan Avenue and Adams Street.
The aim, spirit, and fellowship, of the Society, are clearly expressed in the following selection from Ralph Waldo Emerson:
"The new church will be founded on moral science. Poets, artists, musicians, philosophers, will be its prophet teachers. The noblest literature of the world will be its bible. Love and labor, its holy sacraments—and instead of worshipping one saviour, it will gladly build an altar in the heart for every one who has suffered for humanity."
