Albert E. Miller

Wilkesbarre (Pa.) Record

Christian Science healing has been practised for more than a third of a century, and the vast number of adherents found in the Christian Science church to-day represents but a fractional part of those who have experienced the beneficial results of this healing practice. If a tree is to be judged by its fruits, then it must be conceded that Christian Science long ago proved its right to be considered both safe and sound as a practical method of cure.

Leaving out all question as to the soundness of this teaching from a philosophical or a religious standpoint, it must be apparent even to the most casual observer that Christian Science has had to prove itself worthy of confidence at every step of the way, in order to hold its own against the opposition of every conceivable kind which has sought to overthrow it. Its followers have been recruited largely from the ranks of those who despaired of ever finding relief from pain on this side of the grave, and the measure of their joy at being once again restored to health is unbounded.

It is useless to try to argue with any one respecting the merits of a given subject when the one with whom you argue draws upon personal experience, while you, perchance, talk only from the standpoint of theory. Thus it is that the Christian Scientist finds himself fortified against the possibility of defeat when combating for the faith which he calls his own. He knows whereof he speaks, and nothing can outweigh his knowledge on the subject.
