Christian Science and Insanity.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In your issue of the 10th instant appears
a criticism by Mr.. Collins of my article
which was published the day before in
your paper, concerning the case of Henry
Pratt of Brooklyn, who has been considered
insane for the past five years, during which
time he was tiwce placed in sanitarium.
1 beg to state that Mr.. Collins did not I'M
derstand my article, which, for the most
part, was copy of published statement
of Mr., w. o. Pratt, brother of the patient,
which appeared in the Brooklyn Eagle of
November 20. wherein he stated that he
did not believe that the Christian Science
treatment which his brother had during
the past year has had nything whatever
to do with his malady. That is all l know
of this case. Mr. Collins errs again when
he states that Mrs. Eddy has forbidden
Christian Scientists to treat contagious
diseases; he probably refers to an editorial
in the Christian Science Sentinel, in which
the following passage occurs:
Mrs. Eddy advises that until the public
thought becomes better acquainted with
Christian Science. the Christian Scientists
shall decline to doctor infectious or con-
tagious diseases"
In the Christian Science Sentinel of No
vember q Mrs. Eddy says:
when, under the protection Of state or
United States laws good citizens are ar
rested for granddaughter because one out
of three Of their patients. having the same
disease and In the same family, dies while
the others recover we naturally turn to
Divine justice for support, and wait on
God. Christian Scientists should be in
fluenced by their own judgment in the TAX
ing of a case OF malignant disease; they
should consider well as to their ability
to cope with the case-and not overlook
the fact that there are those lying in wait
to catch them in their sayings; neither
should they forget that, in their practice,
whether successful or not. they are not
specially protected by law The above
quotation stands for this: Inherent Justice.
constitutional individual rights, self-preser-
walton and the gospel injunction, Cast not
your pearls before swine. lest they trample
them under foot and turn again and rend
you.'"
/ also take exception to Mr.. Collins
statement that there are many failures UNI
der Christian Science treatment, for it will
bear comparison with all other methods of
healing, but as a recent writer said, "One
expects more of a new system Of healing.
1t Is a. well-known fact that when the
founder of homeopathy lost his first pa
tient he had to nee from an Infatuated mob,
but now the homeopath loses his case with
as much regularity as the allopath by uni
versal consent" Therefore. would advise
Mr. Collins to look into facts before con-
demning. A. w. SESSFORD.
