July 30, 1910.
May I present to you a little confidential item illustrative of what is being done with the CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOREditorial Note: The Christian Science Monitor.? A student at Fitchburg, MassachusettsAs Written:Mass., who is a member of our Monitor Committee, writes me the following:
"I sent one subscription of a month each to the four orthodox ministers at WinchendonEditorial Note: Winchendon, Massachusetts last year (Winchendon is just beyond CharlestownEditorial Note: Charlestown is a neighborhood in Boston, Massachusetts. in Boston). The Baptist minister, Mr. Feilden, who was strongly opposed to Christian Science now takes the paper regularly and says it is the cleanest and best paper he has ever seen."
"The Monitor is also in great demand here at the Young Men's Christian AssociationAs Written:Y. M. C. A. and the City Library."
"The PostmasterAs Written:Post Master has put our "Free Employment" card in the Post Office. He nailed it up himself."
The above is just a sample of what is being done all over the country. It is wonderful what the Monitor is doing as a missionary. It is opening the way for our literature, including your works. It is a better missionary than the Christian Scientists because it does not talk too much; it does not commit Christian Science unwisely, and does not disgrace us by unwise answers to insincere questions of critics.
