An Important Judicial Decision

M.

The Supreme Court of New Hampshire in the case of Spead v. Tomlinson unequivocally sustains the legitimacy of Christian Science practice, and in so doing falls into line with the courts of other states in which the rights of Christian Scientists have been at issue. All question of the legal right of Christian Scientists to practise the healing methods of their religion is definitely settled by this decision, although the case is still pending upon a minor question of fact which a jury must decide.

Because of this decision of the Supreme Court, the further progress of the case is shorn of importance except to the immediate parties to the suit.

Mr. Tomlinson and his counsel are to be congratulated upon their success in the most vital branches of this law-suit.
