Extracts from Reports of Christian Science Committees on Publication

Louisiana.

Sixty of the one hundred and twenty-five newspapers in Louisiana are giving space regularly to one or more of our newspaper activities. The Christian Science Publishing Society has made it possible for all editors of newspapers to receive The Christian Science Monitor daily through the subscription-in-exchange-for-advertising offer. This offer, which is promoted by your Committee and his Assistants, has been accepted by forty editors. One editor writes as follows: "The Christian Science Monitor is always a welcome visitor to the editor's desk. In fact, the Monitor is far above the average newspaper in readers' interest, containing as it does feature articles besides the unusual line of news which is so well selected and edited."

Two copies of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy were placed in public libraries, and two Monitor subscriptions were supplied to high school libraries. One high school librarian writes: "The Christian Science Monitor is valuable for the information it gives on national and world affairs. With the trend toward progressive education, we need all the material we can possibly obtain on current affairs."

The following testimony is given with the permission of the Assistant Committee: "At the time I received the report of the Annual Meeting of The Mother Church, from your office, for publication in our local newspaper, it was Tuesday afternoon, and the copy had to be in the editor's office that evening. My little girl was seriously ill with pneumonia. I consulted with my fifteen-year-old daughter, with whom my child would have to be left and, quickly deciding that the problem was not mine, but God's, I made the trip into town, a distance of two and a half miles. As I had no car, I had to walk, but I finished it with great joy. ... I delivered the report and started the walk home. Within a half a mile of my home, a great sense of joy and expectancy of healing filled my consciousness. I seemed to walk on air and, as I reached my door, my older daughter met me to tell me that a great change had come over the little one who had been ill. As I entered, I found that she was healed. As I look back on this experience, I remember the hope, courage, and love that filled my consciousness and realize that it was obedience which brought this fruitage."

The radiocasting of Christian Science lectures, church services, religious programs, and "The Monitor Views the News" is now well established as an activity of the Christian Science movement.

The following item was received: "A woman went into a Reading Room to purchase a copy of 'Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures' by Mary Baker Eddy, and stated that about two months before, when she was suffering with what had been diagnosed by her physician as cancer, she happened to turn on her radio and heard a Christian Science program. She continued to listen every morning and in a short time noticed that the pain and suffering had entirely ceased. She then went back to her physician for an examination and he stated that there was now no evidence of the cancer."

Your Committee was invited to address the young people of the Presbyterian church at Mason, upon the invitation of the minister. The group was very attentive, and there were many expressions of appreciation.
