ANNOUNCEMENTS
TENETS OF THE MOTHER CHURCH
The printed Tenets of The Mother Church are in general use by branch churches and societies, either as a basis for their application forms for admission to membership or for binding into their by-law booklets.
Because the Tenets are copyrighted, branch organizations may not have them printed for their own use. The correct procedure is to order from the Clerk of The Mother Church the quantity desired, then have a local printer add whatever data are necessary to the individual requirements of the branch organizations.
The Tenets are printed in two sizes. The large size measures approximately 5 x 8 inches, and is generally used by the branch organizations as a basis for their membership blanks. The small size measures approximately 4 x 6 inches, and is used chiefly for binding into by-law booklets.
Translations of the Tenets, having alternate pages in English, may be procured in German, French, Italian, and Polish.
Prices for Tenets, either for English or for translations, are as follows:
Lots of 100—either size $ .75 Lots of 100—50 large and 50 small .75
Lots of 50—either size .50
Unless otherwise specified, the large size will be sent. Minimum orders are for lots of 50 Tenets.
Remittances should be made payable and sent with orders to EZRA W. PALMER, Clerk, 107 Falmouth Street, Boston, Massachusetts.

PER CAPITA TAX, as provided in the Church Manual, Article VIII, Section 13, is due annually from "every member of The Mother Church," and "shall be forwarded each year to the Church Treasurer."

ARTICLES, POEMS, AND TESTIMONIES
The Christian Science Publishing Society accepts religious articles and religious poems only from members of The Mother Church. Religious articles and religious poems 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, duly signed by the verifiers, and submit them with the testimony. Complete addresses of the testifier and those who vouch for him should always be furnished.
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.

NEW EDITIONS OF THE WORKS OF MARY BAKER EDDY

NEW "DAILY PRAYER" MAILING CARD
A new mailing card bearing the "Daily Prayer" from the Church Manual is now published by the Trustees under the Will of Mary Baker Eddy. It is printed in four colors by the offset process. Aside from beauty of color and artistic treatment of the subject, the clarity of the hand-lettered text is distinctive.
Printed on white vellum, each card is enclosed in a white envelope ready for mailing, list price 10 cents; Reading Room price 8 cents. It is desirable that an order should call for not less than ten cards. When ordering the new card, please designate it as No. 4C.
NEW "DAILY PRAYER" PLAQUE
The design of the new mailing card, described above, is also used in a new and improved form of plaque, made of a new plastic substance which will not warp or split, as wood sometimes does.
The new plaque is 53/8 x 65/8 inches, and can be placed in a standing position or hung on the wall. List price 75 cents, Reading Room price 60 cents.
NEW "DAILY PRAYER" MINIATURE
The same beautiful design is now adapted for use in metal frames. The new plastic material, unbreakable and nonwarping, replaces the glass formerly used in the framed miniatures.
The new miniature is available in one size, 47/8 x 6 inches, and is supplied in gold or silver finish frame. List price $1.00, Reading Room price 80 cents.
CLOTH POCKET CHURCH MANUAL
In response to many requests from the Field, the Trustees under the Will of Mary Baker Eddy have authorized the publication of a Cloth Pocket edition of the Church Manual, in blue and in brown, to match the Sunday School edition of Science and Health and the Cloth Pocket editions of Mrs. Eddy's other writings.
Reports from the Field indicate that pupils in our Sunday schools are buying the dollar editions of "Miscellaneous Writings," "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany," "Unity of Good and Other Writings," and "Christian Healing and Other Writings." In order that they may possess all of our Leader's writings in the Cloth Pocket series, the Church Manual in this form is now published.
The new edition of the Manual takes the place of the old Cloth edition, which has been discontinued, and is listed at $1.00, Reading Room price, 90 cents.
Librarians are requested to record the new edition in the Catalogue of Mrs. Eddy's Works on file in all Reading Rooms.
NEW EDITIONS OF MRS. EDDY'S WRITINGS AT ONE DOLLAR
A COPY
Students of Christian Science whose progress has not yet led them to the study of Mrs. Eddy's writings other than Science and Health may now purchase these writings by our Leader in new Cloth Pocket editions at one dollar a copy.
The importance of these books to every student seeking a greater understanding of Christian Science cannot be overstressed. The dedication page of "Miscellaneous Writings" bears this message: "To loyal Christian Scientists in this and every land I lovingly dedicate these practical teachings indispensable to the culture and achievements which constitute the success of a student and demonstrate the ethics of Christian Science."
There are treasures of instruction by Mrs. Eddy in "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany" in chapters titled "The Christian Science Textbook," "Personality," and "Admonition and Counsel," and in other articles by Mrs. Eddy, as well as historical matter pertaining to The Mother Church and its branches.
"Unity of Good and Other Writings" and "Christian Healing and Other Writings" afford precious stores of food for the spiritual growth of the student.
The new volumes are in handy pocket size, bound in blue and in brown cloth like the Sunday School edition of Science and Health, with round corners, stained edges, and stamped in gold. Price $1.00; Reading Room price 90 cents.
Orders and remittances for Mrs. Eddy's Works should be sent to
