Remember the name Doans and
take no other. o
mark of stability and good faith that
| this denomination can meet all its
| liabilities as they grow, can erect its
own churches and at its own cost
maintain free reading rooms and free
lectures to which the public have ao-
cess with ont charge? Is it not vir-
tue that it needs no fairs, bazaars,
etc, and that none of its churches are
dedicated until paid forf If the
| Christian Science denomination called
benefits of its Christian healing to
contribute towards its expenses, or if
it were in debt and unable to pay its
way, the critic might justly find fault
with the status of it's business affairs,
but under present conditions, there is
no such pretext.
''There is no doubt that executive
and business skill are needed to man
age the affairs of so great and active
h,,f
attends this management, is it neces-
sary to call the denomination a
trust 2
''All religious denominations super
wise the instruction of their teachers
and license their clergymen. They
owe this to the public as we'll as ia
themselves. Such restrains are just
fled by general opinion in the case OF
all denominations. Why should any
one consider them as marks of a
trust when applied by Christian
Scientists? The public has already
been sufficiently deceived in times past
as to what Christian Science is or is
not, as to what it does or does not.
No one who has the good of Christian
Science or of the public at heart
would suggest that upprepared and
possibly unscrupulous individuals
should be allowed to call themselves
teachers of Christian Science.
"Christian Scientists, as all those
know who come in touch with them,
are what they are from individual ex-
perience. Christian Science denomi-
nation grows as the result of definite,
demonstrable mental. moral and ply
steal benefits, accruing to those who
| come to it tor help.
In helping others to escape from
the bondage of poverty, Christian
Scientists are daily performing great
number of acts of charity which are
for the knowledge of giver and reci.
pient alone. 1t does not occur to
them to tabulate these acts and furn-
ish reports of them to the public, noI
does the Christian Science denomina.
tion issue any bulletin of these acts.
1t was the advice of Jesus not to sound
a trumpet when giving aims.
''Those who have had financial re.
lations with the Christian Science
denomination. the great body of peo
pie who attend Christian Science ser,
vices, visit Christian Science reading
rooms, and enjoy the benefits of Chris
tian Science prayer are fully qualified
| to judge for themselves concerninl
the value of what they receive, while
the still greater body of those who
know Christian Scientists need only
turn to the latter for information
