ually natural; that Jesus was the highest type of
real nature; that Christian healing is supernatural, or
extra-natural, only to those who do not enter into its
sublimity or understand its modes--as imported ice
was miraculous to the equatorial African, who had never [25]
seen water freeze."

_Is it right for a Scientist to treat with a doctor?_

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]

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 w
