When
a Christian Scientist, through exercising his right to freedom in the practice of his religion, requests exemption from medical indoctrination, examination, or treatment for himself or his children, no element of fanaticism or mere religious zeal is involved.
Christian Scientists
are not unaware of the great distance between the infinite truths of scientific reality—absolute being—and their limited demonstration of those truths.
When
the members of a Church of Christ, Scientist, undertake to build or remodel a church edifice, they often find encouragement by reminding themselves of Nehemiah's experience in rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem under most unfavorable circumstances.
