 “I pray you to excuse my bad English. I should be glad to read your magazine and even books about Christian Science—we do not know it well in France—if somebody among your readers was kind enough to send me free some of them.

“I am now wounded for the second time and I must stay at bed. Your magazine or books would help me to pass the long hours I must spend and to wait the day I shall be able to return to the front again.”

Besides the periodicals, the War Relief Committee distributed thousands of pamphlets on Christian Science. These little messengers of Truth could be slipped into a letter and they literally became leaves of healing to all the nations of the earth. Postal regulations prohibited the sending of packages to men with the American army in France, but these handy little booklets could always be included in a letter and were invariably much appreciated.

Selected at random from correspondence sent to this Committee, the following list of places outside of the United States will give some idea of the widespread distribution of our Christian Science literature to men in the service. Sometimes a textbook, sometimes a Sentinel, Journal or Monitor, sometimes a pamphlet was sent, but it was always the word of God of which the Psalmist said, “Their line is gone out through all the earth.”
