Among the many persons who turn to Christian Science are those who have been pronounced incurable by physicians. Christian Science is not just a healing method, it is a satisfying religion, but the healing cannot be separated from it. Mary Baker Eddy, in "Rudimental Divine Science," defines it thus (p. 1): "As the law of God, the law of good, interpreting and demonstrating the divine Principle and rule of universal harmony."

The writer in your issue of October 27 refers to children, blind, deaf, dumb, and crippled in public institutions, and says, "Christian Scientists should be able to heal those children without their knowledge." We are free to choose what seems right to us as a means of relief from suffering and sorrow, and if parents and guardians of these little ones feel satisfied that all is being done that can be done, it is not for Christian Scientists to interfere with anyone's choice of treatment. When the multitude thronged Jesus, they were willing to come, to hear, and be healed; and when the sick were carried to him, someone near and dear to the sufferer was willing to resort to spiritual healing.

On page 612 in the chapter "Fruitage," in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, is a testimony by a mother whose child was healed after the case had been pronounced incurable. The mother read this textbook, and the child was healed, and it can be read by any who wishes in the Christian Science Reading Rooms. It is good to know that parents and adults who are students of this Science often tell in the testimonies published in The Christian Science Journal and the Christian Science Sentinel, and also at the Wednesday evening testimony meetings, of healings experienced by children when they (the testifiers) through spiritual means alone are freed from fear, anxiety, and false thinking. There is a willingness on their part to seek "first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness," and they are indeed rewarded.
