In regard to C.S.Expanded:Christian Science I do not mistake world [?] Unclear or illegible wide public sentiment. The revered and beloved Leader, Founder and Discoverer of C.S.Expanded:Christian Science is not called on to affirm or deny scandals published by magazines or newspapers for circulatory purposes.

Always in refuting charges themselves, the charges should never be repeated or published. The reason is easy. If the reply republishes the original charges, thousands who never read McClureEditorial Note: McClure's Magazine was a monthly American magazine founded in 1893 and credited with launching the era of "muckracking" journalism in the early 1900s. It published a series of articles, beginning with an introductory piece in December 1906, about Mary Baker Eddy and Christian Science, containing many inaccuracies and false statements. will read them, and get McClure and the circulation of the stories will be increased a thousand foldCorrected:thousandfold.

There has never been attempted a refutation of these or similar sort of stories and of charges, that the C.S. Publication BureauEditorial Note: Committee on Publication has not fallen into this mischievous error of repeating the stories. The late refutation of McClure unwittingly confirms in place of destroying. The age of 13 & 17Editorial Note: This likely refers to a controversy as to when Eddy was admitted to the Congregational (Trinitarian) Church. On page 13 of her book Retrospection and Introspection she writes that she was admitted at age 12, but it was discovered that church records listed 17 as her age of admission., the coat of armsEditorial Note: This likely refers to a copy of a McNeil coat of arms Eddy's cousin, Fanny McNeil Potter presented to her after visiting Sir John McNeill of Edinburgh, Scotland, with the assurance that both of them were entitled to use it. Eddy began using it as a crest on her stationery. However, the McNeils in Eddy's and Potter's lineage were not a direct connection to the McNeil family in Edinburgh, and Eddy received criticism for her use of the coat of arms. Note: different spellings for McNeil can be found throughout the records, even for the same individual., the residence of Col. Glover, are instances. Col. Glover may have been before his death a resident of S.Expanded:South Carolina and before he lived in S.Expanded:South Carolina, he may have been a resident of Massachusetts.

The Christian Science expounder with millions of followers at home and abroad has a much wider destoiny, and why should she wander in the tortuous labyrinths of the sensational journals and magazines

Unless more caution is hereafter manifested in noticing or npot noticing such conglomerations of fraud and falsehood, the enemies of C.SExpanded:Christian Science. Wwill get a sure foothold, and it will be harder to dislodge them.

The invariable course to pursue as to reporters, newspaper or magazine legends, past or present, should be uniformly to ignore them. The closing paragraph of the refutation of McClure was more salient and significant alone than all the rest of the defensive sub-statements.

Hereafter, whatever is said, (if answered at all) it might be responded something in this wise: "An intelligent public will scarcely give even partial credit to such extravagant fables." If other issues of McClure's be responded rto, it could be simply answered that the entire falsication Corrected: falsification is utterly without solid basis and unworthy of detailed refutation. The public has not an ostrich digestion. The public will not lend a partial credit to the extravagant fables of McClure's "historical review of myself." In endeavoring to extract from its florid super-addition to the January number something noteworthy, I found not a single original germ of simple truth. An order of literature based on such false foundations can neither fascinate nor cheat mankind. It fails to secure even a temporary power.
