WORDS FOR THE WISE

The  Mother Church by-law, relative to a three years' term for church readers, was entitled to and has received profound attention. Rotation in office promotes wisdom, quiets mad ambition, satisfies justice, and crowns honest endeavors.

The best Christian Scientists will be the first to adopt said by-law in their churches, and the readers to retire ex officio after three years of acceptable service as church readers, to higher usefulness in this vast vineyard of our Lord.

The churches who adopt the aforesaid by-law will please send to the editor of our periodicals due notice thereof.

Mary Baker G. Eddy.
