Christian Science

A Disciple tells What it is and What it is not

Richard Smith

the Morning Courier

Editor Courier:—Seeing your kind notice of "Christian Science Propagators" in a Courier of recent date, will you please allow me to say a few words on that subject so that the readers of the Courier may get a more correct sense of what it is as well as of what it is not.

Webster defines medicine as "a drug used as a remedy for disease."

As the only remedy used by Christian Scientists is Mind—God—it can hardly be classed as "a system of medicine."
