Extracts from Reports of Christian Science Committees on Publication

The number of church notices, notices of radio programs, news reprints from The Christian Science Monitor, and miscellaneous items of interest pertaining to Christian Science carried by Texas newspaper totaled approximately fourteen thousand for the year—a great increase over preceding years.

The popularity of The Christian Science Monitor among the editors of our state was recently demonstrated most convincingly. A letter was sent by your Committee to three hundred and twenty-six editors in communities where there are no known members of The Mother Church or of a recognized Texas branch organization residing. The letter merely offered a subscription to The Christian Science Monitor in exchange for advertising in the local paper. Without asking for further information, or requesting a sample copy, sixty-four editors accepted the exchange agreement, forty-one of these acceptances arriving by return mail. This instance is all the more remarkable in that there is no record of any of these editors having previously been Monitor subscribers.

Radio fruitage: A practitioner reports that a man told her he had seemed to be in a very serious condition. He had been quite ill for two days. He said: "I was all bent over. I could not walk straight. I could not work. I managed to struggle into the house, turned on my radio, and listened to a Christian Science program. When the program was over I was entirely healed, and have been well of that condition ever since."
