A RESTORER OF HEALTH

Archibald McLellan

We note in the January Twentieth Century Magasine a short article by Dr. Richard C. Cabot, in which he frankly admits that Christian Science is doing a vast deal of good as a restorer of health. As this has not always been the opinion which Dr. Cabot expressed, we can only assume that some comparatively recent experience or observation has tended to change his views. If such is the case, we should be very pleased to have from him the facts which led up to this change. Be that as it may, no one appreciates more keenly than do we the evident high sense of right and duty which prompted this public acknowledgment. The article in the Twentieth Century Magazine is as follows:—

Doctors are human—like the rest of us. Their faults sometimes drive us into forgetting that they have any uses. Then we become Christian Scientists or medical skeptics or osteopaths. That Christian Science has done and is doing a vast deal of good, not only as a religion, but as a health restorer and a protest against the short-sighted naturalism of the doctors, we are firmly convinced. Its affirmations are helpful to thousands.
