FANCY AND FACTS

The following signed article which
is self explanatory Is taken from the
editorial column of the current mum.
Der of the Christian Science Senti-
mel;
Almost Immediately after news
came Of the recent foods IN Ohio and
Indiana, and of the needs OF those
who were passing through the or
deals of wreck and famine, there ap-
peared in many newspapers through
out the country editorials which were
based upon prepared editorials sent
out in bulletin form from the head
quarters of the American Medical as
ISOLATION, as part of the campaign
of that organization to secure the es-
tablishment of federal department
OF health, with n representative of
the American Medical association as
a member Of the Presidents cabinet.
One of these editorials was as fol.
lows:
In the piping times of peace
large number of the public turn from
the educated physician to the fads,
isms, faith, sun, magnetic and other
healers. The latter are conspicuous
by their absence when pestilence
stalks abroad over the land, when
cyclones, floods, earthquakes and like
catastrophes demand urgent, scientl.
fic, skilfull action. We are reminded
of this singular but obvious fact by
recent able editorial OF the Journal
of the American Medical Association.
When the call goes forth for medical
men to minister to the sick, the woun.
ded and the dying. the pIodding doc
tor leaves his own work and rushes
into the fray, he tolls day and night
without receiving or expecting COM
pensation. in behalf OF suffering hu.
manity. Has there ever occurred
calamity in which this fact has not
been demonstrated?
At such times, says the journal,
what becomes Of the cults tha' are
constantly trying to usurp the pace
OF the scientific medical men and un.
dermine the confidence OF the public?
They sink into obscurlty. When the
emergency arises what have they to
offer? There has appeared no dis.
patch announcing "a special train
containing hundred osteopaths is
on the way to Dayton. All sufferers
will receive spinal adjustments. ="
Nor did any announcement appear
after the western cyclone that Sen

Of danger and distress, in nre, flood,

pause"
Now wnat are the facts? While
these editorials were being published
the news columns of the papers in
which they appeared we're showing
that Christian Scientists, through
their churches, aside from what was
given individually, were contributing
large sums of money to the funds of
the Red Cross Society for the relief
OF the stricken people. An inspection
Of the published lists of contributors
to these funds will show that the
amounts thus given by Christian
Scientists were most liberal ard

the part of the Christian Science

that they are not In the summer sol.

show that not even this was the ex.
