TRUTH HANDLES MALIGNANT CONTAGION

RALPH E. WAGERS

To protect mankind from sickness should be the concern of religion as well as medicine. The world's greatest religionist, Christ Jesus, was no more helpless before disease than he was before sin. In fact, he healed every disease and every sickness among the people. His remedy for disease was spiritual understanding, the understanding of the true nature of God as Spirit and of man's spiritual or Godlike nature.

Although its premise and practice are not generally understood, Christian Science is restoring to the world the lost element of spiritual healing. And those who know the superior values of this Science have no hesitancy in depending upon it even in what appear to be emergencies such as a threatened epidemic.

Christian Scientists recognize that fear, ignorance, sin, and superstition are the offending errors in thought which make an epidemic possible. Those who believe otherwise, who look only for physical causes and material remedies, should be grateful that there is a system of healing that takes mental, moral, and spiritual values into consideration. In fact, they should welcome a healing agency that for nearly a century has been contending successfully with disease.
