Christian Scientists in their profession go no farther than other Christians. Their works, however, are the logical outcome of this profession, and should be so recognized. God's word rightly understood ever has healed and ever will heal the sick, and neither Christian Scientists nor any one else can alter this fact any more than the sun can be restrained from casting its rays upon the earth. To contend that Christians are not justified in relying entirely upon prayer for the recovery of the sick, is to charge the Founder of the Christian religion and his disciples with being at fault. He advocated no other means and bade his followers look to God through the medium of prayer for relief from all ills.

Christian Scientists make no attempt to practise medicine. They rely entirely upon prayer. They practise only upon themselves and upon those who apply to them for relief, and in no way do they try to force their beliefs upon others.
