Christian Science brought much happiness and contentment...

Daily Telegraph

Christian Science brought much happiness and contentment and health to two friends of mine whom medical men had been treating for years. that I felt bound to see what the people were like for myself, and I certainly found them as your correspondent, Mr. Henry Geard, says, "a very loving and intelligent people."

Quite recently I witnessed a bicycle accident. The cyclist side-slipped in front of a heavy van, the horse and wheels passed over both limbs. Of course, I was immediately about to apply "first aid," but the man would have none of it, as he explained he was a Christian Scientist, and insisted on mounting his uninjured machine and riding away. What struck me as most singular was the absolute calm of the man under the most trying circumstances. The onlookers were much more disturbed. I for one would certainly not term such a man a neurotic. A faith that gives such absolute belief in the omnipotence of God has surely some good in it. and is deserving of tolerance.
