Judge r. c. Hill Says Christian
Science Is Proving Most Eff
fectuaI in Its Work.

Christian Science is healing sick
ness, sorrow and dire distress in
the most effectual way, Judge Fred
erick C.. Hill, prominent Christian
Scientist, declared in a lecture at
Polls Theater yesterday afternoon
on christian Science; Gods Revel-
alton of Spiritual Healing"
christian Scientists are doing 1t
in the only way that holds out a
ray of promise for the final deliver
ancc from these evils" Judge HUI
continued. "They freely admit that
many of those engaged in other
modes of healing are performing
noble services and are to be. COM
n1ended for. the service and for their
deeds of deep devotion in trying to
relieve human suffering. They fur
Their admit that the field for service
is large one ard that there should
be no conflict between those who in
true sincerity engaged in the prac-
tice of healing
Attitude Towards Death.
Judge Hill declared there is a
very erroneous belief entertained by
many concerning the attitude Of the
Christian Scientists toward the ex.
porience Of sickness and death. He
said the opinion is often enormously
entertained that Christian Scientists
are unmindful Of these distressing
human conditions and that they Of.
fer no relief to those who unEortu-
nately suffer from these beliefs.
Nothing could be further from
the truth" Judge Hill declared.
''They freely admit that these con-
ditions call for the highest degree
Of human compassion, and they
are proving their. usefulness and
competency by supplying fumani.
tartan compassion in a most eff
fective Christian maner."
Judge Hill continued: There
should be due consideration and
real Christian charity for. all those
who entertain opposing views; and
Christian Scientists cheerfully 3c-
cord to every individual the full
liberty Of conscience in determining
the particular mode or system
which from his viewpoint will best
promote his happiness. Christian
Scientists, of course, do not agree
with those who adopt the theory
that there is something wrong with
matter, and, therefore, something
material must be administered 20
restore harmonious action.
Remove the Cause;
'"They believe that the intelligent
and right way Is to ascertain the
offending mental cause and to re-
move it. They knew that the pro-
curing cause is mental, and they
seek to correct that wrong mental
condition by substituting therefor
the right mental status.
"Now, this is safe, orderly pro-
cedure and produces gratifying re-
suits. They do not lay one straw
in the way of those who hold differ
ing opinions, and they freely accord
to them the full right to drug, cut,
pull, beat and pound the poor human
body and do the hundred and one
other things which, according to
their material theories, are neces-
sary in order to arouse this body to
intelligent, normal activity, provid-
ing always the one possessing that
body consents to and desires such
treatment. Would it seem strange
that Chritian Scientists should ex-
pect others to exercise the same
courtesy toward them, or that they
should expect to be allowed the same
freedom of choice"
