Extracts from Reports of Christian Science Committees on Publication

Virginia.

Fifty-five papers are receiving a subscription to The Christian Science Monitor in exchange for advertising the Monitor in their local papers. This plan has now been extended to editors in places where there are branch churches and societies, and in most cases readily accepted. Great enthusiasm has been shown by most editors for the Monitor, and one editor has written us as follows: "We think a great deal of The Christian Science Monitor and regard it as one of the great influences for national improvement."

A minister of an orthodox church in one of the largest cities in the state preached a series of sermons on denominations other than his own, and when he came to Christian Science his theme was "Things We Admire in the Christian Science Church." Before delivering the sermon he called on a practitioner and asked many questions, and then delivered a telling sermon as above described, even showing copies of the Journal, Sentinel, and Monitor. He afterwards attended a Monitor meeting at the local branch church and spoke in highest terms of the Monitor.
