Memories of medicine and childhood

Elaine Natale

For a Christian, religious intolerance must be fought with truth and patience—the methods of Christianity—not with harsh words. Always the response must be according to the Golden Rule. Christian Scientists are getting plenty of practice these days in exercising this discipline! A highly organized campaign seems bent on convincing the public that children of Christian Scientists are neglected when their parents choose prayer for healing. There's a need to set the record straight.

The fact that this is to be done in a Christian manner doesn't mean being reticent, especially when one's way of life—which has proved itself to be trustworthy—is depicted in caricature or in terms that are hardly recognizable.
