THE TRUE ALTERNATIVE TO MATERIAL MEDICINE

BY NATE TALBOT

The question now at issue is: Shall we have a practical, spiritual Christianity, with its healing power, or shall we have material medicine and superficial religion? The advancing hope of the race, craving health and holiness, halts for a reply; and the reappearing Christ, whose life-giving understanding Christian Science imparts, must answer the constant inquiry: "Art thou he that should come?"

—Mary Baker Eddy, No and Yes, p. 46

IF YOU'RE INTERESTED in an option to conventional treatment, might Christian Science be worth exploring? Maybe not! A lot depends on why you're interested.
