Christian Scientists gladly recognize that a large majority of the medical profession are good and intelligent men; but they look upon materia medica as based on materialism, knowing nothing of God in its doctrine and practice; that it deals with man as an animal rather than an immortal spiritual being; that it doctors effects and secondary causes; that it is empirical and not scientific, frequently changing its practices and theories; that it is on a false basis, since it ignores God and man's spiritual and immortal being.
To
know a little more of good each day;To hourly cast some cherished sin away;To give each thought to Love, and keep no partOf any will of mine within my heart;To do, without complaining, every taskLife gives to me, while pausing not to askThe why or wherefore; just Thy will to know,Trusting in Thee to guide me as I go,Father.

Christian Science came to my aid at the time in my life when I most needed it,—when I was wickedly unhappy because, as I then believed, God had taken my mother from me.
It is now five years since I began to investigate Christian Science, and I have found that even a limited understanding of it, if rightly applied, can help us under all circumstances.
In contributing to our periodicals, I feel I can only repeat what has already been told over and over again : that Christian Science is the old truth revealed anew, a revelation that is bringing to humanity the true understanding of God, of Life, Truth, and Love.
