schools a sin and folly, renders this
new cult unsocial also, from physical
point Of view. Modern civilization has
come to regard the human body as the
handiwork Of God, worthy of all care
and reverence. It is the temple Of the
soul, and some Of the sanctity Of the
indwelling spirit is imporated and
clings to the enclosing shrine. The
care Of the body means prolonged life,
and life is an opportunity Of serving
God and man. This is the view Of the
physical life as held by modern civili-
zation. In medieval days, the body
was regarded as vile and its we'll
being unimportant.
Now, we do not wish to 90 back to
mediaevalism. We 90 not particularly
like smallpox and the like misery.
Medical science, whose resources mod
ern society believes God has placed
within our reach to be used and re-
spected, is firm in its conviction con-
corning the efficacy of vaccination. In
opposing it, Christian Science is in d.
rect opposition to the social demands
regarding the physical life Of the in
dividual.
Both from the moral or ethical, and
constitutional, point Of view and from
the physical, Christian Science is Woe
fully wrong when Il is organizing its
efforts to defeat vaccination in public
schools; il places its right Of belief
above those Of all others, and it Is
decidedly also against the physical life
Of the race.

are closely connected. A right is So
cial in origin and intent. The right to
use public highways is limited to the
obligation Of turning to the left and
to the right, as social agreement de-
mands. The right Of an individual to
his property is limited by the obliga-
tions which society lays upon him in
the way Of taxation and debts. Socie-
ty safeguards his property protects it,
makes possible his acquisition Of It,
and society also defines his right to
his use Of it. 1t is the worst form of
anarchy that view o. right which con-
siders 1t as absolute unrelated to So
cial obligations.
By organized opposition to medical
ton in schools, Christian Science EVIL
IDENTIFY considers its personal liberty
to belief as an absolute right. It is
using immoral means Of forcing its
sectarian creed upon an innocent and
unuspecting young generation, there
by ignoring the truth concerning lib
erty Of conscience FOR others. It makes
the serious mistake Of regarding right
as absolute. 1t is dangerously near
individual anarchy; as such it is un-
social.
We have so far dealt with the oppo.
sition Of Christian Science to vaccin-
alton in schools from an ethical point
Of view. The opposition Of Christian
Science to vaccination is not on the
ground Of its being o useless health
measure, but purely on the ground
Of its being against the teaching of
Christian Science. Such opposition is
unethical as well as unconstitutional.
