To those unfamiliar with the healing system known as Christian Science, there may seem to be a lack of wisdom ir. discarding the well-known and long-established systems of healing by drugs and other material means, and trusting to a system which, to them, is unknown and uncertain. This is true of our newspaper friends who have not investigated Christian Science as well as of others.

We are nevertheless aware that fair-minded newspaper men, even though they may not endorse Christian Science, do not wish to do it and its adherents injustice. Their natural desire is to treat it fairly, and give it the credit to which it is entitled.

This suggests the question whether, if they desire to publish anything relating to Christian Science, they can occupy this fair attitude toward it unless they take reasonable pains to inform themselves as to what Christian Science is, what is purports to be able to accomplish in the way of healing disease, and what it has actually accomplished and is accomplishing.
