In a late issue of your paper I find that the president of the state board of health, in commenting on some opposition which his force has experienced in trying to get certain people to clean their premises, takes the opportunity to say that "the situation is not one to be met with absent treatment or Christian Science." There is nothing in the teachings of Christian Science to warrant the assumption that its followers are in sympathy with or encourage any violation of the law, but on the contrary, they lend every effort to assist in carrying out any requirement which is of benefit to mankind, and especially are they in favor of anything which tends to uplift and promote better and cleaner living. Christian Scientists take a reasonable, rational view of all things, and realize that it is as essential to have clean surroundings, fresh air, pure water and food as any other requisite of right living—for in the degree that we are mindful of those things pertaining to our physical welfare can we hope to enjoy that which affects our spiritual well-being, knowing that "cleanliness is next to godliness."
