Extracts from Reports of Christian Science Committees on Publication

Cuba.

It is indeed gratifying to note the absence of unfavorable comment on Christian Science in the local press; nor is this due entirely to indifference, as we have found the newspapers on the whole willing to cooperate with us whenever possible. Rather is it due to a disinclination to attack the religious beliefs of others. The press is generally more interested in discussing political conditions than religious topics, although the English language morning paper publishes the sermons of one or more clergymen every week. On only one occasion was the Committee on Publication obliged to correct a statement regarding Christian Science made in one of these sermons, and when the correction was offered to the editor of the newspaper he was most courteous about accepting it and was apologetic that such a statement should have appeared in his newspaper, saying that as he himself did not read the sermons, he was unaware of what had been said.

A lecture was given this year, and this English language newspaper was glad to publish it in full. About seventy copies of the paper in which the lecture appeared were sold or distributed through the Reading Room of Christian Science Society of Havana.
