nrALTNG PROPAGANDA
One i heglnnlng 20 hear the state
ment made that Christian Scientist
have a VERY efficient method OF
carrying on religious propaganda

based upon the steady growth Of
Christian Science throughout the
world. In order that one may avoid
unjust criticism Il is important that
clear distinction be made at this

therefore. involves the erroneous
basis that, II you can succeed in
making all of the people believe a

The subtlety and error of such a
theory should be apparent in these

was brought about by this theory OF
suggestive propaganda. Further
more, the breaking up of the world
war has disclosed the logical result
of this distorted tleory,--its total
and dismal failure as applied to the
government of nations.
