These Messages to The Mother Church are as pertinent to the solution of the problems of today, be they problems of the individual or of church organizations, as when they were written. For this reason this compilation of seven Messages is now made available in convenient form, in the hope that from the loving counsel of our Leader therein contained, all who are engaged in the activities of the Church may draw new inspiration and guidance, and so add to their spiritual equipment to carry on in all parts of the world the work of the Church of Christ, Scientist.

Moon Type Edition of "Christian Healing"
Announcement is made by the Publishers of Mrs. Eddy's works of the publication of "Christian Healing," a sermon delivered by Mrs. Eddy in Boston, in the Moon system of type for the blind. It is worthy of note that this is the first religious work to be produced in Moon type in the United States. The plates were made and the book embossed in the plant of the Braille Institute of America, in Los Angeles, for the Trustees under the Will of Mary Baker Eddy.
This new book for the elderly blind appears in a volume of 56 pages, embossed on both sides of the page. The first page following the title page gives the complete Moon alphabet, thereby furnishing a chart with which to teach this simple system of reading by the finger. The Moon characters are formed of letters or parts of letters of our English capitals, and so heavily embossed as to render them tangible to those who are unable to distinguish the puncti-form characters of the Braille system of type for the blind.
The new Moon type edition of "Christian Healing" is bound in serviceable black Buckeye paper covers, saddle stitched, with title in gold on cover, price 60 cents a copy, Reading Room price, 54 cents. Orders and remittances therefor should be sent to Harry I. Hunt, Publishers' Agent, One, Norway Street, Boston. Massachusetts.
FROM THE PUBLISHING SOCIETY
Announcements of Publishing Society items will now be found on the inside front cover of the Sentinel.
Articles, Poems, and Testimonies
The Christian Science Publishing Society accepts religious articles and religious poems only from members of The Mother Church. Religious articles intended for the Journal, Sentinel, or Monitor should be sent to the Journal, Sentinel, and Herald Editorial Department, One, Norway Street, Boston, Massachusetts. Preferably, contributors should correspond for themselves. A memorandum for contributors of religious articles and poems can be obtained from this department by request.
Convincing testimonies of Christian Science healing are also desired. Each testimony should be verified by three members of The Mother Church who either know of the healing or can vouch for the integrity of the testifier. If, however, the testifier is not acquainted with three members of The Mother Church, his affidavit may be sufficient; but in this case he should, if possible, obtain verification from one or two members of The Mother Church. The testifier himself should obtain the verifications. Complete addresses of the testifier and those who vouch for him should be furnished with each testimony.
Source of Quotations
Contributors to the periodicals of articles, poems, and testimonies are asked to note that the source of all quotations, direct or indirect, should be given. The name of the author and of the work from which any quotation is taken, together with the page, should be specified.
CHURCH TENETS FOR USE OF BRANCH ORGANIZATIONS
The Tenets of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, for the use of branch Churches of Christ, Scientist, are printed on sheets containing space for adding the application forms for membership in branch organizations, or extracts from their by-laws. This additional printing of branch church data is to be provided by each church according to its needs. Because the Tenets of The Mother Church are copyrighted, branch organizations may not print these Tenets as part of their by-laws or on application forms for membership in their organizations.
