Look to the Libraries

When in one of our large western cities recently, I visited the Public Library, and my curiosity led me to look through their subject catalogue to ascertain what they had on the subject of Christian Science, and great was my surprise to find but one book indexed under this subject, and said book was not one of the Mother's publications.

The library contained several copies of Science and Health and other of the Mother's works, but they were all indexed under the author's name,—Mary Baker G. Eddy,—in the catalogue of authors only.

Any one looking up the subject of Christian Science would naturally resort to the subject catalogue, but (in that library) they would not find the Truth.

Before leaving the city, I called the attention of several Scientists to the matter, and I presume ere this the error has been corrected.

It has since occurred to me that perhaps error is hiding the Truth in other places in the same way. Would it not be well for Scientists everywhere to see to it that our Leader's works are properly indexed, so they can be readily found by seekers after the Truth?
