Christian Science inculcates the greatest compassion for suffering, for all kinds of suffering, physical, mental, and moral, but it also teaches that the most practical kind of sympathy for the sick man is that which leads him out of his suffering. The man who is starving does not need a recipe for bread making. He wants bread. Kind words and tender sympathy for his misfortune are welcome, but he must have a practical application of that charity which will relieve his distress. Christian Science does not ignore pain.
