Notices

Most of the railroads in the United States, except those in New England, grant a "clergy fare" or reduced rate to ministers and certain other classes of persons engaged exclusively in religious work. This rate is, therefore, available to "First Readers of Christian Science churches who have no other gainful occupation than the ministry of Christian Science." To get the advantage of this rate, First Readers who are eligible for it need to apply for and obtain a "clergy fare certificate." This certificate is issued in different sections of the United States, by bureaus representing the principal railroads in the respective sections, to those whose applications are accompanied by letters of credentials from The Christian Science Board of Directors. Any ticket agent can either furnish an application form or give the address of the bureau from which an application form may be obtained. The Directors are prepared to furnish further information to those who may be eligible, and they should be consulted before an application is filed with the Clergy Bureau. Letters should be addressed to THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, 206 Massachusetts Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts.

In harmony with the provisions of Article VIII, Section 13, of the Church Manual, The Mother Church desires to keep in kindly touch with its members from year to year. It is therefore desirable that "every member of The Mother Church" inform the Treasurer of any change in his permanent address, preferably when remitting his annual per capita tax. In order that the church records may be complete and up-to-date in this respect, the Treasurer will be glad to hear from those members who have not supplied this information during recent years.
