The Lewis Case

Editor

In the Sentinel of December 19, 1901, wherein we published a somewhat full account of the case of Rex vs. Lewis, tried in Toronto, Can., we said in our introductory remarks that in this case Christian Science had a hearing upon the question of healing, before a court and jury, such as it had not had in any court in Canada.

After the publication of this number our attention was kindly called, by a Scientist of Toronto, to a case tried in the same court and before the same judge some years since, wherein there was evidence introduced of Christian Science healing. In that case there was much interesting and valuable testimony for Science. As we remembered that case it did not impress us as being so elaborate and important in this respect as the Lewis case. On reading the account of it as published in The Christian Science Journal of February, 1896, however, we see that it was more so than our memory had led us to suppose, and we are glad to modify our statement in reference to the Lewis case, so far as seems necessary.

We herewith republish the greater part of the former case, believing it of sufficient present interest to warrant it.
