From the Directors

Until further notice, the Literature Distribution Committee of The Mother Church will receive from the Field contributions of current or noncurrent periodicals and new or used books to send to branch churches and societies in Germany. The Committee's address is Literature Distribution Committee, 222 Massachusetts Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts. Subscribers to The Herald of Christian Science, German Edition, can have it delivered to this committee instead of to themselves.

The literature sent to this Committee to be forwarded to Germany should include nothing other than the writings of Mary Baker Eddy, published in both English and German, and books, pamphlets, periodicals, and reprints published in German or in both English and German by The Christian Science Publishing Society. The periodicals sent to this Committee should be complete, except that for this particular purpose only the Home Forum pages of The Christian Science Monitor containing religious articles in both English and German may be detached and sent separately. All literature must be in good condition, and periodicals should be of recent date.

Literature for Germany should be sent to the Literature Distribution Committee of The Mother Church to be forwarded; it should not be sent directly to Germany.

Lecture in The Mother Church

The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, announces a free public lecture on Christian Science by John Henry Weer, C.S., a member of The Christian Science Board of Lectureship, in the Church Edifice, Falmouth, Norway, and St. Paul Streets, Monday evening, September 20, 1937, at 7.45. The public is cordially invited.

Admission to The Mother Church

Applications for admission to membership in The Mother Church may be sent to the Clerk at any time throughout the year. It is desirable that applications should be forwarded in ample time so that they may receive the essential preliminary attention before the date of election. The receipt of an application by the Clerk does not make the applicant a member. Applications are acted upon by the Board of Directors, twice each year, as provided by the Manual of The Mother Church, Article XIII, Section 2.

The receipt of all applications is acknowledged by the Clerk; and on the date set for consideration, notice of acceptance or rejection is sent by the Clerk to those whose applications have been received in time. Should an applicant not receive such notice, he is requested to communicate with the Clerk before forwarding a second application. A member of a branch church, on being admitted to membership in The Mother Church, should notify the clerk of his local branch church of his acceptance.

The next meeting of the Board for this purpose occurs November 5, 1937. Applications to be acted upon at that time should reach the Clerk by October 22, 1937. Applications received too late for the November admission will be placed on file for the June, 1938, admission.

Application forms may usually be obtained from Reading Rooms and from the clerks of branch organizations, or they may be secured by addressing Ezra W. Palmer, Clerk, 107 Falmouth Street, Boston, Massachusetts. Cable address: Church, Boston.
