Christian Science in its practical operation did not reform the sinner and heal the sick, it would be neither Christian nor scientific, but a mere caricature of Christianity, deserving all that its misapprehending detractors have said.
If other demoninations never failed in what they consider their God-given means of reformation, or if there never were failures on the part of other systems of healing, the objection to the failures of Christian Scientists might be a valid one.
