OBEDIENCE

From the November 1898 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Remarks of J. Edward Smith at a regular Wednesday Evening Subject Meeting of First Church of Christ, Scientist, Masonic Temple, Poughkeepsie, N. Y.

While the different references upon our subject were being read, these thoughts were passing through my mind: Disobedience to the law of God is what brings all woe into the world; is what brings sickness; is what brings death.

I have been asked this question two or three times this week, in all sincerity, by different persons: "Why is it that your prayers heal the sick when the prayers of other Christian denominations do not heal the sick? Why do your prayers heal the sick while the prayers of some one else do not? God is not a respecter of persons!"
