Man is under God's authority

Visiting Friends in the Hospital

J. DENIS GLOVER

Most people, including Christian Scientists, occasionally visit a business associate, friend, or family member in the hospital.

Calling on patients is Christian and compassionate. The visit is intended to support them, to encourage, to be neighborly. Or we may sometimes have a moral duty to see that a friend or relative choosing medical treatment gets the best attention possible.

As we realize man's true nature as entirely spiritual—a basic point in Christian Science—our hospital visits need incur no fear or pressure.
