ALL AMERICAN RELIGIOUS SECTS MUST BE DRIVEN OUT OF GERMANY THE NAZI PARTY NEWS SERVICE DECLARED TODAY IN AN ATTACK AGAINST CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS. NAZIS ARE PARTICULARLY IRRITATED BY THE FACT THAT MARY BAKER EDDY, FOUNDER OF THE CHURCH, IS SAID TO HAVE HELD THAT THE IDEAS OF NATION AND RACE ARE NOT SUPPORTED BY SCIENCE, AND THAT THE LAWS OF HEREDITY ARE NOT ABSOLUTE.
