Relation ofthe Qhurch TZCYVKQA .221a'52TgQgg. .Difllen Qt tgirl, Superintendent of Mennonite Hospital and Sanitarium Minister and Evangelist THE NIGHTINGALE 1938 lt is generally believed that the Church is in conflict with science. lt seems men think it is faith or knowledge, piet5 er cn- liglitment. But careful analysis will prove this position false. The Church is Cliristls body, a group of men united in fellowship on the platform of simple faith and obedience to God through Jesus Christ the Savior. It is an organization built by Christ. Science is a knowledge of the facts, the laws, and processes of nature. God is the creator of all nature and the laws and facts about nature. Since God is the creator of both the Church and nature they cannot be in conflict with each other. ln rnedieal science the laws of nature are applied in the art of healing. The principles of the Church create compassion and kindness toward the sick. Medical science provides the Church with knowledge for a more helpful ininistry to the sick. A conflict between the Church and science is only possible when each is falsely so called. If either departs from the knowledge of the Creator, a harmonious relation is impossible. Since, however, our knowledge of science is limited by our mental limitations, med- ical science is not an absolutely accurate science. But the Church by her compassion encourages study, investigation, and experi- mentation which will make possible the nearest possible approach to perfection in the art of healing. The Church recognizes the eternal value of the soul. Since the body is the temple of the soul, this attitude of the Church puts soberness into the program of ministering to the body. 'Under the influence of the Church medical science is elevated to the greatest possible degree of careful effort. WVith the aid of medical science the Church is able to more effectively minister to the body. Niles Qt. cgi, 1918-38
