Extracts from Reports of Christian Science Committees on Publication

Tasmania.

Every day each daily newspaper prints on the editorial page a "Great Thought" supplied by the Committee on Publication. Once each week this "Great Thought" is from the pen of Mary Baker Eddy. Editors are unanimous in praising this service, which is now in its fifth year. An interesting report of the appreciation of the daily "Great Thought" came from the editor of the Advocate, Tasmania's third daily paper, to the effect that he had personal knowledge of several schools where the day's thought was read to the assembled scholars each morning and, in two instances, was then gummed into a scrapbook kept for the purpose.

Devotional programs have been conducted regularly over five stations during this year, giving a total of six radiocasts each month. Encouraging reports in regard to these programs have been received from many quarters. Station managers have received and passed to the Committee numerous favorable reports. A Methodist clergyman, who could not be helped by medicine or surgery, listened to the devotional broadcasts for a period and was then led to seek the aid of a Christian Science practitioner, and secured release from his difficulties.
