If Christian Scientists were teaching or practising 342:30 pharmacy or obstetrics according to the common theo- ries, no denunciations would follow them, even if their treatment resulted in the death of a patient. The people 343:1 are taught in such cases to say, Amen. Shall I then be smitten for healing and for teaching Truth as the Prin- 343:3 ciple of healing, and for proving my word by my deed? James said: "Show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works." Personal experience 343:6 Is not finite mind ignorant of God's method? This makes it doubly unfair to impugn and misrepresent the facts, although, without this cross-bearing, 343:9 one might not be able to say with the apostle, "None of these things move me." The sick, the halt, and the blind look up to Christian Science with blessings, 343:12 and Truth will not be forever hidden by unjust parody from the quickened sense of the people. Proof from miracles Jesus strips all disguise from error, when his teachings 343:15 are fully understood. By parable and argument he ex- plains the impossibility of good producing evil; and he also scientifically demonstrates this great 343:18 fact, proving by what are wrongly called miracles, that sin, sickness, and death are beliefs - illusive errors - which he could and did destroy. 343:21 It would sometimes seem as if truth were rejected be- cause meekness and spirituality are the conditions of its acceptance, while Christendom generally demands so 343:24 much less. Example of the disciples Anciently those apostles who were Jesus' students, as well as Paul who was not one of his students, healed 343:27 the sick and reformed the sinner by their religion. Hence the mistake which allows words, rather than works, to follow such examples! 343:30 Whoever is the first meekly and conscientiously to press along the line of gospel-healing, is often accounted a heretic. Strong position 344:1 It is objected to Christian Science that it claims God as the only absolute Life and Soul, and man to be His 344:3 idea, - that is, His image. It should be added that this is claimed to represent the normal, healthful, and sinless condition of man in divine 344:6 Science, and that this claim is made because the Scrip- tures say that God has created man in His own image and after His likeness. Is it sacrilegious to assume that 344:9 God's likeness is not found in matter, sin, sickness, and death? Efficacy may be attested
