CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS.
RIGHT TO HEAL BY PRAYER.
A BLASPHEMOUS BRIEF
The judges of the higher court have concurred as to the legality of the conviction of W. B. Winslow, a Christian Scientist, who recently got into trouble over his faith-healing business. Winslow’s brief was a remarkable document. It was full of Biblical quotations upholding the right to heal by prayer,, and instanced Winslow’s conversion of a drunkard into a- faithhealer. It referred also to the statute under whiclr the defendant had been prosecuted, and declared, “If this statute- is constitutional, if would 1 make Jesus a criminal.”
