D e l i v e r e d
A friend of ours, a few Sundays ago, stopped a small boy on the street and asked him what Sunday School he was bound for. He replied that he was going to the Christian Science Sunday School. “ Do you like to go there?” he was asked. “ Yes,” replied the boy. “ And why?” our friend asked. “ Because,” said the lad, “I don’t have to take castor oil any more. ’’ This may sound to some like a joke, but the boy was in dead earnest, and there is a point that wise people will not miss. Why is it that the boy is no longer compelled to take the simple remedies that any child occa sionally needs? Is it because Christian Science now serves the purpose— or because his foolish mother cannot now consistently recognize the medic inal value of the oil? This lad, like many other children of Eddyite parents, may be left to die for the want of one of the simple remedies that God has put in the earth for man’s use. One of the most appalling things about this false system is the suffering that is caused to innocent children, simply because their parents have been duped. Doctors and nurses in almost every city and town can tell the awful story as it has been seen again and again, where, as a last resort, they have been called to Christian Science homes.*—K. L. B.
