For some reason yet to be explained, death certificates were filed at Brookline Town Hall in a large majority of cases in violation of the rule requiring that the full name of an institu- | tion be recorded in a certificate when death has occurred in any institution.

Unless as Inquirer is familiar enough with the street numbers and locations to identify acores of these certificates as re cording deaths at the Christian Science "Sanatorium." it would appear that a death at that institu- tion has been an exceedingly rare erent. Thus has the official public death record concealed, rather than revealed, the facts.

in part one phase of the attacks which have been made on our bei loved Leader, our Church, and on the teachings of Christian Science during the past year. These at- | tacks have come from people who cannot apprehend Mrs. Eddy's life nor understand the spirit- ual teaching of the religion she founded, and who consequently would adulterate Christian Science with materialism."
