INTOLERANCE REBUKED

Archibald McLellan

An editorial in The Ladies' Home Journal for March discloses the existence of a prejudice which is not creditable to such generally intelligent people as are the millions of readers of this great magazine, and we are not surprised that the editor, in his own "personal page," has felt called upon to rebuke the narrowness and bigotry of his self-appointed critics. The following paragraphs of editorial comment explain themselves:—

In our last Christmas issue we published an article by Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, the head of the Christian Science Church. Scores of angry letters at once descended upon us from church members of other than Christian Science belief, the most vituperative outbursts coming from ministers. We were "advocating Christian Science"—even the editor had, according to two or three letters, turned Christian Scientist! But during the years that we had printed religious and medical articles expressing beliefs diametrically opposed to Christian Science principles, have we ever received a word of protest from Christian Scientists? Not one!
