Attention is requested to our Leader's letter to "The Children Contributors," on page 216 of "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany." This letter was addressed to those children who had contributed to Mrs. Eddy's room in The Mother Church, to whom she then made a gift under the following conditions:—

"I request that from this date you disband as a society, drop the insignia of 'Busy Bees,' work in your own several localities, and no longer contribute to The Mother Church flower fund. . . .

"Further to encourage your early, generous incentive for action, and to reward your hitherto unselfish toil, I have deeded in trust to The Mother Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, the sum of four thousand dollars to be invested in safe muncipal bonds for my dear children contributors to the room of the Pastor Emeritus. This sum is to remain on interest till it is disbursed in equal shares to each contributor. This disbursal will take place when the contributors shall have arrived at legal age, and each contributor will receive his dividend with interest thereon up to date, provided he has complied with my request as above named."
