In announcing that an appeal would be taken from the decision of the appeallate division, the Christian Science committee on publication for the state of New York, at No. 1 Madison avenue, yesterday afternoon [July 11] issued a statement by Clifford P. Smith, of the committee on publication for The Mother Church in Boston. In part it is as follows:—

"Christian Science is the restoration of original Christianity with its healing power. In Principle and practice it is the same; even though Christian Scientists have not become perfect in its practice. Even as now practised, however, it is the most effective and reliable curative agent known to mankind. Christian Science is not only comparatively safe, but it tends to develop the higher nature and to unfold the qualities which will enable the human race to put off its mortality.

"The attitude of Christian Scientists toward compensation is that which was authorized by Christ Jesus. He who said, 'I must be about my Father's business,' also said, 'The laborer is worthy of his hire,' and he said this to his disciples when sending them forth to preach the gospel and heal the sick. The practice of Christian Science is not the same as the practice of medicine, and it cannot be made the same by law. The public will have the right to employ the most effective aid.
