This depends upon what kind of a doctor it is. Mind- healing, and healing with drugs, are opposite modes of medicine. As a rule, drop one of these doctors when you [30] [Page 89.] employ the other. The Scripture saith, “No man can [1] serve two masters;” and, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation.” _If Scientists are called upon to care for a member of_ _the family, or a friend in sickness, who is employing a_ [5] _regular physician, would it be right to treat this patient_ _at all; and ought the patient to follow the doctor’s_ _directions?_ When patients are under material medical treatment, it is advisable in most cases that Scientists do not treat [10] them, or interfere with _materia medica_. If the patient is in peril, and you save him or alleviate his sufferings, although the medical attendant and friends have no faith in your method, it is humane, and not unchristian, to do him all the good you can; but your good will gen- [15] erally “be evil spoken of.” The hazard of casting “pearls before swine” caused our Master to refuse help to some who sought his aid; and he left this precaution for others. _If mortal man is unreal, how can he be saved, and why_ [20] _does he need to be saved? I ask for information, not for_ _controversy, for I am a seeker after Truth._ You will find the proper answer to this question in my published works. Man is immortal. Mortal man is a false concept that is not spared or prolonged by being [25] saved from itself, from whatever is false. This salva- tion means: saved from error, or error overcome. Im- mortal man, in God’s likeness, is safe in divine Science. Mortal man is saved on this divine Principle, if he will only avail himself of the efficacy of Truth, and recog- [30] [Page 90.] nize his Saviour. He must know that God is omnipo- [1] tent; hence, that sin is impotent. He must know that the power of sin is the pleasure in sin. Take away this pleasure, and you remove all reality from its power. Jesus demonstrated sin and death to be powerless. This [5] practical Truth saves from sin, and will save all who understand it. _Is it wrong for a wife to have a husband treated for_ _sin, when she knows he is sinning, or for drinking and_ _smoking?_ [10] It is always right to act rightly; but sometimes, under circumstances exceptional, it is inexpedient to attack evil. This rule is forever golden: “As ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.” Do you desire to be freed from sin? Then help others to be free; [15] but in your measures, obey the Scriptures, “Be ye wise as serpents.” Break the yoke of bondage in every wise way. First, be sure that your means for doing good are equal to your motives; then judge them by their fruits.
