"By their Fruits"

W. D. McCrackan

New York Medical Journal

THE strength of Christian Science lies in its practical results. It is a positive force. It arrests attention by its dynamics. On every hand people speak of the happy changes it has wrought in their friends or families. They know of former drunkards who through it have lost all desire for stimulants, morphine fiends who are freed from the drug, dishonest men and women made honest and pure, boorish and selfish persons becoming refined and loving, lifelong invalids rendered hale and hearty, chronic grumblers turned into cheery good fellows, consumptives healed, and the insane restored to their right minds. They see husbands and wives reunited and harmony enter homes where discord once reigned. They find gross materialists taking pleasure in spiritual matters, and agnostics and socalled atheists coming like little children to learn of the Scriptures.

If Christian Science had done nothing more than to supply the "Key to the Scriptures," which has unlocked the treasures of the Bible to those who were once indifferent or actually hostile, this alone would have sufficed to earn for it the high place among the older Christian denominations which it is taking to-day.
