Items of Interest

Frequently Christian Scientists, especially practitioners, are solicited or circularized in connection with business enterprises. Such enterprises are often legitimate, but occasionally they are not; some are promoted as philanthropic activities especially for Christian Scientists, which may be impositions.

It is almost needless to say to the experienced Christian Scientist that every business should stand upon its own merits. Christian Scientists prefer to patronize companies which conduct their business in a conservative manner and for general patronage from the public, not for any particular group of religionists. From time to time there have appeared in the Christian Science periodicals statements intended to caution Christian Scientists in respect to articles offered them for sale as of particular use in their offices and work, accompanied perhaps by some reference to Christian Science literature. The Christian Science Monitor advertising columns offer an excellent opportunity to advertise legitimate service and products. The advertisements in these columns appeal to all readers, not to Christian Scientists alone, and each business advertised must stand upon its own merits.
