Extracts from Reports of Christian Science Committees on Publication

Victoria, Australia.

There is evidence of much activity in the pulpit. One clergyman has been advertised on three occasions to preach against Christian Science, but the sermon has not yet been delivered. In his third letter to this Committee he wrote: "I very deeply appreciate your kindness in allowing me to retain Science and Health and 'Rudimental Divine Science' as a gift. I shall place them in my library, and give to them the respect due to works produced by a very earnest and inspired woman, and highly respected by many people, who testify to the benefits derived from their teaching. ... I may not be able to embrace the Science Mrs. Eddy teaches in all its applications, but I must acknowledge that her emphasis of the reality of the spiritual, as being, in the last analysis, the only abiding reality, is becoming the necessary emphasis in religious teaching to-day."

Several laudatory references have been made during sermons, evidence that the leaven of Truth is at work. A returned soldier, who had had a very beautiful healing, attended his old church one Sunday. During the sermon, the clergyman, noticing the health, love, and joy so visibly expressed on the face of the now happy man, stopped his sermon which was being radiocast, and said, "Thank God for Christian Science, and thank God for the radiance its students give forth."
