Christian Science really makes the sick well

New York (N. Y.) Morning Telegraph

Christian Science really makes the sick well. A thousand cases can be cited in this city in which physicians have given up patients and the healers of Mrs. Eddy's church have restored them to health. The Christian Science faith is that of the optimist—it is optimism of the most exalted kind; for it teaches that the creator will not permit the children of earth to suffer bodily ills. The faith of the Christian Scientists reaches to heights never attained by other denominations.

Doctors for years have been fighting Christian Science. The open warfare of a few years ago, however, is not carried on at present—not so openly. Physicians have discovered that thinking people take an interest in the science of healing; that a sick man does not care what means he uses to secure good health if he can only secure it. Physicians, with their mysteries, their Latin prescriptions, their experiments, their many useless and costly operations, are themselves beginning to realize the strength of Christian Science, and no longer dare scoff at it. Certainly if Christian Science does no good it can do no harm. But it does good.

Christian Science raises the standard of citizenship. It makes people clean; they realize that cleanliness really is next to godliness, and that decency and right living go hand in hand with good health and long life. There are no drunkards among Christian Scientists; they do not bicker and quarrel. They give to every one his due and follow the golden rule.
