Under the topic "Christian Science Hospitals?" your issue of November 1 answers the question, "Did you ever learn of the existence of a Christian Science hospital where they treat communicable diseases or injured persons?" by the statement, "None exists."

Whether the question and answer are intended to imply that Christian Science cannot overcome contagious diseases and injuries, or that Christian Scientists are not charitable enough to have such hospitals, is not clear. The facts are, however, that diseases regarded as contagious yield to Christian Science treatment and that many bodily injuries have also been healed thereby. The charity of Christian Scientists is in evidence not only where public disasters have occurred, whereof even the far-off Japanese speak with gratitude, but also in the church edifices and sanatoriums built out of their own funds, and without calling upon the public for contributions. These funds are expended in building institutions of a kind that seem most needed at the present time.

What the future will bring forth in the extension of this kind of work remains to be seen, for Christian Science is a religion. It is founded on Mrs. Eddy's discovery of the law underlying early Christian teaching and healing. It has already proved itself to be such to an extent that promises to revolutionize the healing art.
