A. Warren Norton, Manager of
The Christian Science Publishing
Society, reported an increase in
the circulation of all Christian
Science publications, including
The Christian Science Monitor.
The exigencies of war have been
met in part, he said, by the re-
duction in size of some of the
periodicals. The circulation of
the Christian Science Sentinel, re-
duced to pocket-size, was reported
at the highest in its history.
Emphasis was placed by Mr..
Norton upon the public recogni-
tions of merit won by the Monitor
during the past few years for out
standing editorial and news con-
tent, and typographical makeup.
He referred to the winning of
c olumb University's Maria
Moors Cabot Award for outstand-
ing contribution in the field of
Inter-American Relations, the
Monitor being the first newspaper
in the United States to earn this
recognition. The Monitor also
won the F. Wayland Aver compe-
tition among daily newspapers for
excellence in typography, make
up and presswork. On May %
this paper also obtained a medal
of distinction for service in jour-
nalism from the School of Jour-
nalism of the University of Mis-
souri,.
State, provincial and national
legislative bodies, were shown to
have dealt fairly with Christian
Science activities in the state
ment of Arthur w. Eckman, Man
ager of Committees on Publica-
ton. He alluded to the sympa-
thetic understanding of public
officials in dealing with gasoline,
tire and automobile rationing. The
State of Delaware, he noted
adopted a bill legalizing the prac-
tice of Christian Science. He
warned against an increasing ten
dency, however in legislative halls
to impose blanket regulations in
volving compulsory sickness, dis
ability and hospital insurance
which would bring about indirect
compulsion upon Christian Scien-
lists to accept medical treatment.
There are now fourteen chaplains
of our denomination serving in the
Armed Forces of the United
States, he said; thirteen in the
Army and n in the Navy. He
pointed out that fifteen vacancies
in the Army remained to be filled.
Other reports revealed a con-
tinuing advance of religious edu-
cation despite the exigencies of
war. The Christian Science Board
of L%ectureship found that the
purpose of its new regional sys-
tenn of allocating lecturers to serve
the churches more acceptably and
to reduce the need for travel has
been fulfilled in gratifying meas
ure. Where lecturers have not
been able to appear personally in
some countries because of war,
authorized lectures have been
read to the audiences, it was said.
From the Trustees under the
Will of Mary Baker Eddy came
the report that since the year 1918,
when the Trustees were first ap-
pointed, they have expended
$4,000, 900 on church work. An
nouncement was also made that
the sales of Mrs. Eddy's works,
including Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" had
more than doubled in the last two
