at the present assembly than that which
In defining the meaning of medicine and
surgery gave them proviso, thus plac
ing (hem under the protection of the law
thereby relieving 'the people who wish
their services free to choose them with-
eat uy chance of Interference or con.
demnstlon by their orltlos. It was notice
able thronghont that no attempt was
made to show that fatalities under Chris
Man Bclenoe were more numereai than
under other methods, but the frank ad
mission of Df Lewis, the promoter, of
the hill Against them, that seventeen out
of twenty-four would get well snywsy
four under , , intelligent treatment, but
three would of necessity die, at once dls
armed nU. ertttcism against them. In
making a complete list of deaths under
their cere daring the eight years Chris
tian Science has been practiced In thli
State, not even a half, donen could be
found, whereat thousands of esses have
been keeled, , Including, many given up
by the physicians, as Incurable. So it
seemed wise that a class of citizens so
prepared to help humanity should bo
protected and not condemned by law
makers. Their representatives were in
telligent, cultured, consecrated Ohrls-
from their first appearance at the
hearing before the Joint Committee on
Health It was seen that Christian Science
was neither a fad or a fancy, and al
though it was a new subject to the' ma-
ority o( : those concerned It was soon
recognized as too vital a part of life of
representative North Carolinians: to at
tempt to deprive the State of Its uplift
ing benefits, or limit the freedom! of
those engaged In Its holy work.
It wu proven that concerning conta
gion every precaution was taken, every
Scientist being law-abiding In reporting
such cases,' while under their care. '
The hearing on. February 17th before
the Joint Committee on Pobllo Health
was a notable gathering. Scientists were
present from Buncombe to Craven. Oat
of the twenty-three present seven were
men. The Senate Chamber wss filled to
overflowing with interested speotators
The lawyers, Mr. C, M, JJusbee, Judge T
B.WomacV, of Raleigh andMrW. W.
Clark, of Ne w Bern, made most effective
speeches from the legal standpoint, de
claring the bUl unconstitutional and Miss
Mary Hatch Harrison, 0. 8.B., of New
Bern,, as' O., spoke by request of the
Committee from the Christian Science
standpoint' Dr. It. HJ Lewis spoke for
the State Board of Health, refusing to
consider amendments ; offered by the
Scientists, demanding that the bill be
passed as written,' -. . "

fsvorably reported by the Joint Commit-1
