Your issue of April 22 contains an article entitled "Health and Home." The writer asserts that the life of an atheist and the life of a Christian Scientist would both be destroyed by the drinking of poison.

It was Christ Jesus who said that those who believe in him, though they "drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them." Either these words are true or they are not true. If they are not true, then every other statement of Christ Jesus is open to question. If these words are true, then it is possible for those who understand our Master's teaching to prove them to be so.

Christian Science has been applied with very beneficial results in cases of drinking poison by accident and in cases of snake bites. These results are obtained in proportion to one's spiritual understanding of the teachings of Christ Jesus. Christian Scientists, however, would not deliberately take poison to prove the words of Jesus, and in this they follow his example when he refused to throw himself from the pinnacle of the temple to prove the words of the Psalmist: "He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone."
