In one place in his sermon the preacher [whose remarks are reported in the Journal] has said that drug physicians may learn some useful things from Christian Science.

The great Master while on earth may have foreseen the possibilities of future sectarian conflict, and, as if to guard against the misunderstanding of his teachings, he established a standard by which all true Christians should be measured.
One of the distinguishing features of Christian Science in the fact that therein are to be found no secrets or mysteries, as is evidenced by the breadth of its individual application to the needs of all classes, and its intelligent employment—to the exclusion of sickness and sin—by the children as well as by their fathers and mothers.
There is much comment upon the optimism, courage, and happiness of Christian Scientists, and for that reason it may be worth our while to consider the cause of these manifestations.
