THE TRUE AND THE FALSE

Washington News Letter

A few months ago the editor of the News Letter sent a copy of his paper to a friend, who was not a Scientist, with the hope that his interest might be aroused on the subject of Christian Science. A week or so after, this friend met the editor on the streets of Washington, when the following conversation occurred:—

Friend. Wife and I have been thinking about these Christian Scientists considerably. The truth is, she has an ailment, which the doctors say will keep her in bed from eighteen months to three years, and maybe always. Now I would like to know what you know about these Scientists.
Editor. I know all about them.
Friend. Can they cure the sick?
Editor. They are curing the sick every day in this city. They have cured me, several members of my family, and many others I know of.
Friend. Do you suppose they could cure my wife?
Editor. Certainly God can cure her; nothing is impossible for God. Christian Science is truly God's method of curing the sick.

The foregoing conversation was supplemented with the information of where a Scientist lived, the friend saying he would call that night.
