Literature for Germany Fund

In a statement "From the Directors" which was published in the Sentinel of December 18, 1937, the establishment of a Literature for Germany Fund was announced as follows:

"The Mother Church has opened a Literature for Germany Fund to receive gifts of money to be used for supplying Christian Science literature to the branch churches and societies in Germany, and through them to individuals. Contributions to this Fund should be sent to Edward L. Ripley, Treasurer, 107 Falmouth Street, Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A. Any balance remaining in this Fund when the Directors conclude that it is no longer needed will be applied to other instances of exceptional need."

The need continues for Christian Science literature to be sent to the branch churches and societies in Germany as a gift, due to the German restrictions in relation to foreign exchange. At no time during the period since the Fund was established have the contributions from the Field been sufficient to pay for one quarter of the amount of literature which it was necessary to send to Germany. Consequently, a large proportion of the cost has had to be paid from funds that would otherwise have been available for other uses.

The Field at large is reminded, therefore, that the Literature for Germany Fund still needs to be kept replenished.
