  	    If drugs are part of God's creation, which (according
  	to the narrative in Genesis) He pronounced good, then
18	drugs cannot be poisonous. If He could cre-	                        Drugging
  	ate drugs intrinsically bad, then they should	                        unchristian 
  	never be used. If He creates drugs at all and designs
21	them for medical use, why did Jesus not employ them
  	and recommend them for the treatment of disease? 
  	Matter is not self-creative, for it is unintelligent. Erring
24	mortal mind confers the power which the drug seems to
  	possess. 
  	    Narcotics quiet mortal mind, and so relieve the body;
27	but they leave both mind and body worse for this sub-
  	mission. Christian Science impresses the entire corpore-
  	ality, — namely, mind and body, — and brings out the
30	proof that Life is continuous and harmonious. Science
  	both neutralizes error and destroys it. Mankind is the
  	better for this spiritual and profound pathology.
