Asheville, Feb. 23—In answer to a news story in several papers, Miss Emily Jones, a member of the Christian Science committee on publication, made a statement in which she says:
“In Sunday morning’s paper, appears on the front page an article telling of the arrest of a ‘Christian Science minister,’ Mr. Robert Yodger, charging him with inhumane treatment of his three children in that he refused to allow them to be treated for infection.
“Mr. Yoder is not a Christian Scientists. I am informed that he is a minister of the Holiness faith. The Christian Science church does not have ministers, but readers, who read from the Bible and the Christian Science textbook, ‘Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.’ By Mary Baker Eddy.”
From the front page of The Concord Daily Tribune, Wednesday, Feb. 24, 1926. The newspaper article correcting a previous error misspells the minister’s last name. Is it Yoder or Yodger?
