A recent bulletin of the United

Wherefore?
MARY BAKER G. EDDY, -

Reprinted by request from c. s. Sentinel.
sOur faithful laborers in the field If
Science have been told, through the
alert editor. in. chief of the Christian
Science Sentinel and Journal, that
"Mrs. Eddy advises, until the public
thought becomes better acquainted
with Christian Science, that Christian
Scientists decline to doctor Infectious
or contagious diseases"
The great Master said, "For which f
these works do We stone me?" He said
this to satisfy himself whereof he spake
as Gods representative one who
never weakened in his own personal
sense of righteousness because of an
others wickedness; or the minifying Of
his own goodness. Charity is quite as
rare as wisdom, but when it does ap-
pear it is known by it's patience aid
endurance.
When, under the protection of State
or United States laws, good citizens are
arrested for manslaughter because one
out of three of their patients, having
the same disease and in the same fam
lily, dies while the others recover, we
naturally turn to Divine justice for
support, and wait on God. Christian
Scientists should be Influenced by their
own judgment in the taking of a case
of malignant disease, they should con-
slider 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 prac.
tice, whether successful or not, they are
not specially protected by law. The
above quotation stands for this: In
herent justice, constitutional individual
rights, self preservation, and the gos-
pei injunction, "Cast not your pearls
before swine, lest they trample them
under foot and turn again and rend
yon."
And it stands side by side with
Christ's command. "Whosoever shall
smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to
him the other also." I abide by. this
rule, and triumph by it. The sinner
may sneer at this beatitude, for "the
fool hath said in his heart, No God. ."
1t is known that the good young stu
dent, Mr.. Lathrop, after he was prose-
cuted for practising Christian Science,
finished healing the cases OF diptherla
that he had on hand. Statistics show
that this Science cures larger per
cent of malignant diseases than does
materia medica.
call disease by it's name, and have
cured it thus: so there is nothing new
on this score. My book Science and
Health names disease, and thousands
are healed by reading its name and
learning that so-callsd disease is sen,
sation Of mind, not matter. Evil minds
signally blunder in Divine Metaphysics
hence I am always saying the: unex'
pected to them. The evil mind calls it
"skulking," when to me it is wisdom to
"overcome evil with good" l fail to
know how one can be Christian, and
yet depart from Christ's teachings.
