Extracts from Reports of Christian Science Committees on Publication for the Year Ended September 30, 1925

As one has occasion to deal more intimately with each department of our Leader's demonstration in founding and protecting our Cause, the greater is the measure of one's gratitude for her example of looking for divine guidance only. The Englewood church edifice is now completed and occupied. The Boulder church is about to commence erection of a new church building to cost about twenty-five thousand dollars. Fifth Church in Denver has finished paying off its bonded indebtedness. Twenty-two letters of correction have been written in the past six months. All secular publications except one have readily published these letters, denominational periodicals alone failing to discharge the moral duty of publishing corrective statements. One newspaper, during the absence of its editor, published a mistaken report about Christian Science treatment in a case of illness. The facts were lovingly but positively presented to the editor, who courteously did his best to rectify the mistake, and since, although not interested in Christian Science, has published eight reprints from The Christian Science Monitor, with appropriate credit given. In one community the work of an Assistant Committee so healed editorial opposition as to result in publication not only of a letter of correction then offered, but of three voluntary Monitor reprints in one month, and two the next. The Christian Scientists of Longmont maintained a Monitor booth at a fair recently held, and with excellent results. The beautiful tributes paid our international daily newspaper at this fair, and on other occasions during the period of this report by those outside our ranks, give happy indication of its redemptive and healing possibilities when those within the ranks more fully apprehend and appreciate its place in God's plan of salvation as revealed to Mary Baker Eddy. One manifestation of healing as a result of the Monitor's courageous stand against crime news is that two Denver dailies now segregate crime news on an inside page.
