"Prove all Things."

In conversation with a business man the subject of Christian Science was introduced, and he made the remark. "I do not think religion or Christian Science should be brought into business." At present, myself a business man and also a Christian Science healer, I wish to give a little experience of my own.

Some years ago the doctors had said that unless I complied with certain rules—to work only a few hours each day, to be very moderate in all things, to avoid all excitement, etc., I might die at any moment. I laughed at it all and continued to do as far as I could everything that I wanted to, until, through fear, I tried to be obedient to the doctors, but at the same time grew weaker day by day until I was hardly able to get to the store. This all proved that what the doctors had said was true on their plane of thought. But what medicines and obedience to the so-called material laws falled to do, Christian Science has accomplished, and for four years or more I have been able to attend to business, and not one day has sickness kept me from being on my feet and at work.

Sick thoughts were ever-present with me until, through Christian Science, those thoughts were forced out, proving that to ever-present Life, Truth, and Love, there can be no room for sin, sickness, and death; and in so far as we hold fast to the good thoughts they must be manifest on our bodies and in every branch of business.
