followers. we find that few of them
are In complete accord, and still
fewer maintain the all-important
part OF his teaching. namely. the
healing of the sick as we'll as the
reformation of che sinner.
christian Science teaches that
the healing of sickness and the de-
struction of sin are both brought
about in the same way and are as
