Under this caption The Christian at Work attacks certain foolish actions of Faith-curers and others, who, rather than depart from their usual methods, when they find their knowledge inadequate to cure, have allowed their patients to needlessly suffer and die.
The case of a Colorado man is cited, who is such a fanatic on this subject as to conceal the burial of children, lest the public knowledge of their decease should prejudice the people against his orphan asylum.
A letter from a Boston daily is quoted, in which a physician protests against Scientists who have let an aged woman die in agony, rather than allow a regular physician to be called. This impresses Christian Scientists as so terrible that they doubt whether the healer was not a fraud, wrongly taking the name of Christian Scientist as a cloak for wickedness and bigotry.
