Christian Science Committee on Publication for Ontario, Canada, Reports

During the past year the Special Committee on Social Security dealing with the compulsory Health Insurance Draft Bill in Ottawa was presented with a brief representing the interests of Christian Scientists and the Christian Science movement.

There were a number of references to Christian Science in the daily newspapers, some of which did not require answering. Three corrective letters were submitted, two of which were published in part. After a profitable talk with an editor of one of the Toronto newspapers, corrective statements of the Committee appeared in a column entitled. "Mary Baker Eddy Not a Spiritualist."

In the first six months of the Committee's tenure of office, a prominent Toronto clergyman attacked Christian Science five times, the sermons being reported in his church magazine. Each time a patient and loving explanation of the points involved was given. He was presented with a copy of the Christian Science textbook. "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. In the past six months no unfriendly remarks have been made from his pulpit.
