Communication from a Non-Scientist

H. C. Baird

There is a growing opinion in the minds of thinking people that most all the newspaper items regarding sickness and the treatment of disease tend to educate the people in error, and that the time has come when there should be a better understanding regarding disease. The introduction of what is known as Christian Science, with its system of spiritual, and physical healing, is accomplishing good results in this respect. The daily demonstrations of this system attested by hundreds of thousands of thinking men and women to-day, is indeed wonderful. It would be difficult to find an intelligent community of a thousand people anywhere in this broad land, where there are not those who love the Christ, and are earnestly striving to know more of this system.

The editor of the Interior, a leading publication of the Presbyterian Church, published in Chicago, in a recent issue says, "From all parts, especially in the cities and towns, come reports of the inroads of Christian Science upon our Churches. Presbyterian and Baptist appear to be suffering more from it than any others. Ministers are astonished and grieved to find that some of their choicest minds and best people are affected by it," etc.

I am not a Christian Scientist, but I do believe most firmly in Christian healing as taught by Christian Scientists. This belief comes from a knowledge of its power as I have witnessed its demonstrations time and again, and have listened to the testimony of many who have been healed by its power, after human wisdom with its nearly thirty thousand remedies, had failed to bring relief. Paul said to his brethren, "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good."
