To Help Rebuild Baltimore.

The Baltimore newspapers announce
that the New York Life Insurance
company will loan to their policy
holders two and ore half million dol
lars to rebuild their homes and busi :
ness houses.
This fact drives home the thought
that life insurance as practiced in the
modern times meets just such start
ling contingency as has faced the
sixth largest city OF our nation.
When we realize that Baltimore has a
population of over five hundred thou
sand, that its trade and commerce are
enormous and the heart of its financial
and business district is devastated by
tremendous Importance OF this great
company to our country and the wis
dom of !oanlng to those who are fort.
unate enough TO hold policies, on the
sole security of the policy, the money
to once more begin life. Yet there
are thousa Ids W no lost all in the fire
who hold no insurance in The New
York Life and will be compelled to
find money elsewhere ard by placing
mortgages on their homes which they
may never be able to pay.

As to Advertising.

/ We sometimes receive inquiries rs
to the standing of persons who adver-
{ Sc themselves in new spapers and
magazines as Christian Science prac.
titioners. We answer these inquiries
by saying that Christian Scientists
do not advertise. and it is safe TO as
sumo that the persons who thus
bring themselves to the attention of
the public are not in any manner
identified with our denomination nor
with its healing work The follow
ing reference to the methods employed
by unauthorized persons who pose AS
Christian Scientists. is copied from s.
previous issue of the Sentinel:
1t is unnecessary for us to say that
methods of advertising akin to those
OF quaok doctors aud vendors of patent
nostrums are not countenancsd by
Christian Scientists. On the contrary.
they are reprehended.
Christian Scientists have done
all they properly can do in the way
of advertising when they unobstru-
sively mske known the fact that they
hold themselves in readiness to respond
to calls for healing sickness or other
wise aiding those who desire such ser
vices as come within their province
or line of duty. -
The above is as true today as when
it was written. ard correctly sets forth
the attitude of Christian Scientists
as being one of willingness and readi.
ness to help those who desire their
ministrations. rather than that of
soliciting the attention and patronage
of persons who may be attracted by a
skiilfully worded advertisement. NJ
