One point made by the Christian Scientists in their fight at Annapolis is thus stated by Judge Buskirk: "This bill does not require osteopaths to take a medical examination, nor opticians, nor purveyors of patent medicines.
In considering the charge of inconsistency made by our critic, it may be well to remember that Christian Scientists in their theory are probably no farther in advance of their practice than are the Christians of other denominations.

While Christian Science teaches that sin, sickness, and death are not the creations of God, and therefore have no foundation in fact, nevertheless their claim to existence in erring mortal experience must be recognized and overcome.
Christian Science is daily showing proof of its intensely practical nature by the healing of all forms of sickness, the overcoming of vice and vicious habits and appetites, and the bringing of comfort and happiness to thousands of homes and families.
