Our Literature

To the Editor of the Sentinel:—

In thinking of the splendid opportunity for mission and educational work given us by the far-seeing management of our Christian Science Publishing Society, I have been led to ask myself a pointed and reasonable question,—a question that I am inclined to think I share with perhaps the larger part of our filed-workers. It is this: Are we generously, earnestly, and methodically using the admirable means within our reach for the dignified propaganda of our faith through the medium of our publications?

During the last three years I have been privileged to be the secretary and superintendent of an extensive mission fund, donated by a group of philanthropic Christian Science business men. The names of the supporters of this fund have been unknown to the public, but their good works have abundantly shown forth their devotion to the Christian Science movement, which they so dearly love. A. quiet, systematic, and extensive distribution of the publications of our Leader and The Christian Science Publishing Society has gone on for months. In some periods of thirty days not less than eighteen thousand pieces have been sent out in carefully prepared sealed envelopes to the thought leaders of the English-speaking world. Great care has been used in mailing and distributing. There has been no promiscuous choice of names. Publications have gone to clergymen, lawyers, judges, officials of cities, presidents of colleges, schools, and universities, public school principals and teachers, physicians, authors, religious editors, editors of daily papers throughout the United States, Canada, and Great Britain, secretaries of Y. M. C. A.'s, officers of women's clubs, etc.
