It might be well to state that Christian Scientists do not claim immunity from those things which ordinarily leave their impress upon the physical senses.
Christian Science inculcates the greatest compassion for suffering, for all kinds of suffering, physical, mental, and moral, but it also teaches that the most practical kind of sympathy for the sick man is that which leads him out of his suffering.
The contention that the cures effected by Christian Scientists are duplicated in "Suggestive Therapeuties" and other so-called systems based on human will power, does not take into consideration the fact that the healing of the physical is not all of Christian Science, it is simply incidental to the regenerative and reformative mission in which Christian Scientists are engaged.
