[The Brooklyn (N. Y.) Eagle]
Even among the fighting men of Europe, the men who face showers of shell and bullets, the Christian Scientists are doing missionary work. How do the doctrines of Mary Baker Eddy appeal to the Poilus? In the midst of battle Christian Science must appear the height of folly or the only logical religion to embrace.
A while ago there arrived in the mails to the Paris bureau of the Eagle a copy of a French trench journal, Echo des Gourbis (Gourbi being French soldier slang for a bombproof). It was a very well written and well printed little sheet, and among the articles there was one headed "La Science Chrétienne," which naturally attracted attention. Ordinarily the trench papers do not refer to matters of religion; if the French soldiers have any religious sentiments they keep them to themselves. They neither write nor talk about them, and to men facing the scorching breath of death ordinary preaching must seem terribly futile. And of all doctrines, that of Christian Science, with its particular views of suffering, bodily injuries, and death would seem the most strange or the most consistent.
