From the October 1884 issue of The Christian Science Journal


From the Standard: "There is a sort of science that assumes to ignore the spiritual. But really, does not science, by such disowning, stab itself? There is much in the natural world that can not be seen, heard or felt, but it includes in itself that which is the most real and most powerful. And all this is scientifically discerned. Prof. Bixby, in the January Bibliotheca Sacra, dwells upon the relations of 'Immortality and Science,' and affirms that the true philosophy of the physical universe to account for all its wonderful phenomena must postulate an all-embracing, invisible world. Truly, 'her line is gone out through all the earth.' The spiritual reveals itself in the natural."

The first instance where physicians are mentioned in the Bible is 2d Chronicles, xvi; 12,13:—"And Asa in the thirty ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great; yet in his disease he sought not to the Lord, but to the physicians. And Asa slept with his fathers."
