After a chase, the car crashed and Chrisman jumped out and ran across the bridge spanning Eleven Mile and the freeway, where he was eventually shot. The grandmother of a 14-year-old Mt. Clemens youth who was fatally shot by Roseville police last summer filed a $30 million lawsuit Tuesday against the Roseville Police Department and several of its officers.

Ordinarily we don't advertise. We feel that "being persuaded" has more to do with the light and conviction that came to St. Paul than with advertising.

But we've placed this ad because we feel it is time to make available some accurate information about Christian Scientists and what we believe. You may have heard or read something recently which categorizes Christian Science as a "cult." Actually, there's nothing about Christian Science that fits this derogatory category. We've been a democratically organized church of lay members for over 100 years on the American scene. Church services and Reading Rooms are open to anyone. And anyone who's attended a church service knows the emphasis on Christian prayer, quiet reason and individual spiritual experience.

Maybe you've heard the comment that Christian Scientists are "against doctors." We'd hope you'd seek a far more accurate opinion. Yes, Christian Scientists do believe strongly in Christian healing. In this secular time, we believe it's crucial to humanity that the practical power of prayer survive. But we also totally support free moral choice, and we love and value humanitarian efforts wherever they're found. As we said, the reason for this ad is just to offer information instead of misinformation.
