Because Christian Scientists believe in and practice religious tolerance and medical freedom, and effectively oppose the enactment of laws restricting their rights, as many other good citizens do who are not of the same religious faith, their attitude in such matters by no means warrants the implication that they would disobey the laws of the land, or refuse to abide by law, or obstruct its due process in order to maintain what they believe to be their rights, under any circumstances. "Law constitutes government," writes Mrs. Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, on page 28 of the Manual of The Mother Church, to which Christian Scientists yield loving obedience. And on page 128 of her book entitled "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany" she further states, "Christian Scientists abide by the laws of God and the laws of the land; and, following the command of the Master, they go into all the world, preaching the gospel and healing the sick."
