We are receiving many reports of the placing of our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," "Miscellaneous Writings," and other books of our Leader in public libraries, reading rooms, penitentiaries,, jails, and other public places over the country. We are glad to know that this good work is going on; but for prudential reasons, and for want of space, we shall not publish in detail any more of these reports. The work will tell its good story as well unpublished in the Journal as published, and an objection to publishing, which has come to our notice, be: thus avoided.
Before closing this subject, however, we wish to note the good work, in this line, of a zealous Christian Scientist who, single-handed, has placed the text-book, and other works of our Leader, in hundreds of public places throughout Europe and the East, so that the earth has virtually been encircled with the message of good-will contained therein. In some places he was told that it would be impossible to place the books, but he persevered, overcoming apparently unsurmountable obstacles, and winning victory.
For the reasons above mentioned we refrain from naming the places, or being otherwise more specific, but we feel it is due to our co-worker that an expression of thanks should be extended to him. There is for him, however, a richer reward than any verbal expression of thanks, — the knowledge of duty well done, and the good that will return to him in the never-ending future. The harvest-time certainly follows the good seed-sowing.
