All authorized Christian Science prae-
tiiioners are amensbie 10 the discipline

one use the office Of healing ior mere

Scientists have found a better way OF

In a hospital n Christian churches
would labor al diligently 10 follow
the commands of the Master In heal
ing the sick instead Of striving TO

vastly happier.
That Christian Science differs from
the theology of the orthodox churches
In many respects is granted. II Is also
clear that II must differ 10 1t would re-
instate Christian healing which ortho
dox churches have discarded. The
test Of Christian Science IL not that
II differs from theological dogma. but
the results manifested. Jesus said:
by their fruits ye shall know them"
and this test Christian Scientists
cheerfuily accept. The accomplished
results Of Christian Science during the
past thirty years are such ar any
church In the world should rejoice In,
and In fact have never been surpassed
In the history Of the world.

was neither Christian nor scientific.
inasmuch as Christian Science heals
the sick. reforms the drunkard. and
causes men to read and love the
Bible. makes them gentle. loving and
spiritually minded, the charge that II
is unchristian Is not we'll founded.
Christian Science presents an accur.

overcome mortal ills and any person,

prove its truths for himself. II meets

its propositions can be demonstrated.
and r daily being proved by many
thousands Of people all over the
world.
Christian Scientists believe In God.
In fact they trust Him more implicitly
than many who revile them. They
trust Him to heal their diseases and
they find their trust not misplaced.
They do not rely on poisonous drugs
TO the exclusion of omnipctert God
and in direct contravention to the
Of Jesus who healed the sick
through prayer and commanded his
followers to do likewise.
