"Dr." Fluno himself is modest. and when
asked 10 tell of some of his successful
"Christian-science" cures yesterday he re-
fused to do so. referring the reporter to the
patients themselves. When asked what he
should do in case the San Francisco HOmeo-
pathc Board should revoke his license, he
sa id that he should go right on practicing
Christian sci ence.
"Would you not come in contact with the
law9" was asked.
1.-THE law requires certificates to be signed
sometimes" he said. "but | could conform
TO the requirements of the law aud sign
them. do not suppose, however, that the
Health Office would accept them"
Nv onld you practice and sign certificates
with your license revokedY"
They cannot revoke my license" said
DR.. Fluno. his eyes gistening. my license
TO practice was issued with my diploma, and
they have no power over IT,
HIS FOLLOWING IN OAKLAND.
DIR. Fluno says that he is not an ordained
minister. although he is at the head OF a
following of about 1000 Christian Scientists
in Oakland, and he leads them in services
at ii O'Clock every Sunday morning at HAM
ilton Hall. There are five or six hundred
thousand Christian Scientists in the United
States, and the most of them are organized
with the church of Christian Scientists like
any other denomination. There is. how
-
DR.. FlunO has been notable in a number
of Christian science" eases in Oakland.
The most recent was that of few weeks
ago. when mother and her newborn child
died and the canse was attributed to neglect
of proper medical care under his treatment.
There are nine other cases SO ascrbed. all
OF which were called to the attention Of the
homeopathic board.
SHE sCAMPERED AROUND.
But there have been other cases where
marvellous success has been ascTibed to him.
One of these was last winter, when Miss
Spencer of West Oakland. a paralytic for
years, received three visits from him and
then threw away her crutches and
wheel-ehair and scampered upstairs
unaided. She has been doing that
ever since. Another ease was when young
Ray Gibson, son of Professor ellison, was
believed to be mortally wounded by gum
shot wound. No surgeon ever attended
that 0und. The ball was never extracted.
Fluno STAYED with the boy contiu eallv, and
in wonderfully short time he was making

boys al baseball unconscious Of the fact
that he had ever been shot

the principle OF being clearly understood,
there would be nothing Of that kind"
There would be no damage suits and no
suffering then, would there?"
NO, sir; there would be millennium"
with all these principles understood do
you think the body would become more

now as it Will ever get-only the conditions

IN A NUTSHELL.
THE principal OF Christian science is
power Of mind over evil. That is it in a
nutshell. 1t is divine mind, a knowledge
OF our true being. 1t is science as perfect
as mathematics, based on a mathematical
principle ana that principle is truth
Christian science teaches that reality OF be-
ing is divine and therefore perfect, Just rs
mathematics teach the perfection OF a
problem"
Can man walk on water if be under
bldUuS lUtSe principles, ODClOrg
WI hat man has done man can do. In
truth there are no miracles"
DO Christian Scientists believe in the
divinity of Christi"
Yes sir, the same as they believe in the
divinity OF all men. There is q lower law,
though, and we do not teach the idea OF
breaking that.
Christian Science is like problem. The
principe OF a problem may not be seen,
but 1t IS there, and when it is finally dis
csrned then 1t Is clear and perfect and is
seen 10 have been always perfect.
The perfect laS OF love is the browning
law OF Christian science. By that every
one Is looked upon as a child Of God and Is
treated so-klndly and with respect"
