A Newspaper for All the People

The Postscript

Few newspapers, notwithstanding their protestations to the contrary, are without prejudice. A striking illustration of this assertion is given in the mass meeting of Christian Scientists, held in Carnegie Hall, on Sunday afternoon, December 18.

Three thousand representative people, including the members of seven churches in the Greater New York, assembled to hear a lecture delivered by Carol Norton, C. S. D., an exceptionally talented man, and incidentally to refute the charges that have been made throughout the land that Harold Frederic, the London correspondent of The New York Times, died under the treatment of Christian Scientists.

Convincing proof was offered that Mr. Frederic met his death while under the care of regular physicians. But all the daily newspapers, except The Postscript, had gone on record as saying that Mr. Frederic had died without regular medical attendance. Evidently this fact, and the additional fact that they were afraid of offending some of their readers, prevented them from making a report which was interesting to the general public as well as to the members of Christian Science churches.
