Practitioners' Cards

We have recently received quite a number of letters from Christian Scientists giving a statement of the work they are doing, some asking whether it is proper for them to continue their cards in the directory of practitioners published in The Christian Science Journal, others asking whether the writers should not make application for the insertion of their cards in this directory. Perhaps the most definite and satisfactory answer that can be made to these inquiries is this: The directory is intended to include the names of none but competent and available practitioners,—persons who have proved their sufficient understanding of Christian Science by healing the sick, who are not engaged in any business, or in any profession other than Christian Science work,—and only such should wish to have their cards appear.

The following editorial touching upon this matter appeared in the November issue of The Christian Science Journal.

"The list of names and addresses of practitioners which appears each month in the Journal has grown to such an extent as to be unwieldy, and it has now become so much out of proportion to the number of pages of reading matter as to be a serious problem to the publishers, so serious that they are about to adopt new rules by which they hope to reduce this department to a size more nearly in keeping with its original purpose.
