A correspondent in your recent issue, writing of the faith-healing services at St. Mark's Hall, states that those conducting these services welcome the medical profession, whereas "Christian Scientists are unfriendly to medical scrutiny." The purpose of this remark is recognized, but I should like to state emphatically that Christian Scientists have a very high regard for physicians and appreciate their unselfish and arduous work for humanity.

The reason why Christian Scientists cannot co-operate with the medical profession is that the teachings of Christian Science rest on an entirely different basis and concept of man. This difference renders co-operation impossible.

Christian Scientists entertain nothing but love and good will towards all members of the community, and they endeavor not only to see but also to look for the good in everyone. In this way only will the sick be healed and the sinner regenerated. On page 248 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mrs. Eddy writes:"We must form perfect models in thought and look at them continually, or we shall never carve them out in grand and noble lives. Let unselfishness, goodness, mercy, justice, health, holiness, love—the kingdom of heaven—reign within us, and sin, disease, and death will diminish until they finally disappear."
