A Christian is one who accepts and practises the teachings of Jesus the Christ, and it would be difficult to find a body of people to whom these teachings are of greater value and importance than the Christian Scientists.
Our critic apparently thinks that Christian healing is a process of mental suggestion; but if you can suggest what is supposed to be good to a person, you can with equal certainty suggest what is evil.

I had a long illness, was in bed, prostrated, for fifteen months, was in a hospital five times, spent hundreds of dollars, and was left a physical wreck, a cripple, scarcely able to walk, and still a constant sufferer.
In writing this testimonial of gratitude for healing received through the ministrations of Christian Science, it is only possible for me to express a small part of the joy and blessings which have come to me in the last few years as a result of the physical and mental healing.
In February, 1909, I was engaged in blasting trees from Boulder river, and in handling the powder became what is known as "blasted," that is, blind, and suffered from the worst headaches I had ever known.
