The president of the North Carolina Medical Society in his recent address at the annual meeting made some misleading statements about the practice of Christian Science, which I shall ask you to permit me to correct. However, he was right when he implied that a knowledge of medicine and physiology are not requisite to the successful practice of this wholly different method.

The Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, states in her textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (Pref., p. x), "No intellectual proficiency is requisite in the learner, but sound morals aremost desirable." Jesus and his disciples, through their understanding of man's spiritual status, as a son of God, healed those who came to them, and without the use of drugs; neither did they lack for anything.

The practice of Christian Science has nothing in common with what is called new-thought. It rejects the human or mortal mind, which is the source of all disease, as a factor in healing and reforming mankind. That so many have received and are receiving the benefits they seek, is proved by the rapid growth of the Christian Science movement.
