Extracts from Reports of Christian Science Committees on Publication

In a sermon entitled "Good Will to the Christian Scientists," a Congregational minister said: "We must frankly acknowledge that Christian Science has brought health and happiness to many people.... Christian Scientists attened church with amazing regularity, putting others to shame by their devotion.... They read their Bibles every day, and what is more, they study them. They are generous seekers after truth. I know of no other religious group which is so devoted to the daily reading of the Bible as these people."

One pastor in Queens County accompanied his entire congregation, after their own meeting, to the opening of the new edifice of the local Christian Science church. The Brooklyn edition of the New York Times carried more than half a column announcing this fact. A Presbyterian minister who had lent his church to the local Christian Scientists for a lecture announced the lecture from his pulpit.

Shortly after one of our special programs from Station WMCA, New York City, a man entered the Reading Room of one of our churches, carrying a pamphlet attacking Mary Baker Eddy. In substance he said to the librarian: "After listening to this morning's broadcast I am convinced that the author of this pamphlet is wrong. Please tell me the right book that will give me the good about Mrs. Eddy." Sibyl Wilbur's biography of Mrs. Eddy was lent to him.
