CHRISTIAN SCIENCE FOR ANIMAL

Cnr1sIlan 0clenGlsGs nave D06n DuOy-
ed up to large degree by the report
that their treatment has cured a valu-
able race horse of disease.
Lord Vincent is owned by III. w.
Foote of Texas. He has record of
3 :OS4 and two years ago won the rich
Pennsylvania stakes at Lexington, Ky.
1t was after winning this race that
his illness occurred.
The story is that efforts of veterin-
arians to remedy the horse's trouble
were unavailing and then a woman in
Youngstown, Ohio, tried the treat
ment Of mind over matter and restored
him to health. Such report naturally
was received with increduIity among
horsemen, but not by members of the
cult of Mrs Eddy.
Franklin Blake. who is reader in
the Second Church of Christ and a
well-known practitioner, was asked to-
day if such thing could be true.
Mr.. Blake said he had not heard of
the reported cure of Lord Vincent,
but it was a fact that many horses,
and, in fact, domestic animals of all
kinds, had been cured of all sorts of
disorders oy Christian Science which
was nothing in the world but scientific
prayer.
"The cure of animals is a side of
Christian Science that has not been
touched upon very much,' said Mr..
Blake, "but in these days of criticism
of Christian Science it might be well
to refer a little more to it. Anyone
who attends our Wednesday night
meetings is apt to hear of cases in
which animals have been cured.
Christian Science is the science of the
power of God, and that extends over
animals as well as men.
Animals often respond to treat
ment more readily than human beings,
for the reason that there is not that
antagonism we often have to subdue
in the human mind before we effect a
cure. We treat animals generally by
the absent method"
