An Impostor

Editor

We have received letters from various places in Indiana and Ohio that a man claiming to be a Christian Scientist is traveling about the country and, upon the strength of plausible stories, has succeeded in obtaining money from a number of the Scientists. He only asks to borrow the money and promises to return it within a few days, but in no case has he fulfilled his promies. The name he gave on some occasions was George E. Adams.

Various persons (or possibly the same person giving different names) have been heard of in different parts of the country during the past year or two, who, taking advantage of the willingness of Christian Scientists to help the needy and unfortunate in every way possible, have succeeded in obtaining, money under false pretences. It is well for Scientists to be on their guard and know that the money they give, especially to strangers, is going to benefit the one to whom it is given. Fraud and dishonesty should not be encouraged, even unwittingly.
