DAVID REED, A LIFE DEVOTED TO HEALING

David Reed, who had been elected president of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, passed on in Boston on Monday [June 5]. His life was devoted to the practice of Christian healing.

Nathan Talbot, clerk of The Mother Church and chairman of the Board of Directors, expressed the board's deep regret at losing their valued colleague.

For 14 years, Mr. Reed served on the committee that develops the weekly Bible lessons that form the core of Christian Science church services and members' daily study. He had the deepest love for the Bible, and his work brought into sharp focus both the inspiration it provides for daily life and its healing power.

The Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy serve as the Pastor of the Christian Science Church. "David," Mr. Talbot said, "was a deep, consecrated student of both these books, and his understanding of them shined through all he did."
