Extracts from Reports of Christian Science Committees on Publication

France.

Christian Science was mentioned directly twenty-seven times in different publications during the past five months. A reply was made to each mention and addressed either to the editor of the paper or to the writer of the article. In addition, a translation of each excerpt and the reply was made and sent to Boston, with a copy of the original in French. Few of the articles showed much evidence of opposition to Christian Science.

Excelsior, an important Paris daily that always gives some quotation on the front page, took the principal thought, in one issue, from "What Our Leader Says," found in Mrs. Eddy's book, Miscellany (p. 210), Also the Journal of Fougeres in Normandy published the same. A letter of thanks was sent to the editors of each of these papers. In another magazine there appeared an article on the subject of youth in which were mentioned some of the great works accomplished by Mrs. Eddy in her advanced years, giving her as the most striking example of "perpetual youth."
