Sunday School Observations

Many Mother Church members have ideas, experiences, or methods of instruction which, passed on to Sunday school superintendents and teachers, will prove invaluable. They are cordially invited to write along these lines for publication in our periodicals.

Contributors will find it worth while, before setting pen to paper, to consult "A Word About Writing" on page 284 of the Christian Science Sentinel for February 13, 1943. Care in composition will ensure against editing. Conciseness, these busy days, is a jewel.

Short items of quality will be grouped in the Sentinel or Journal under the caption, "Our Sunday Schools." Occasionally, longer dissertations will be printed as separate articles under the name of the contributor.

Announcement from the Church Treasurer

Beginning May 1, 1943. per capita lax statements will be mailed each year to all members of The Mother Church, as a reminder of the provisions of Article VIII. Section 13, of the Church Manual covering the payment of a per capita tax" of not less than one dollar" annually.

The sending of this yearly notice will keep members regularly informed of the status of their per capita tax and greatly improve the efficiency of the Treasurer's Office.

The former custom of issuing receipts was discontinued January 1, 1943. Receipts continue to be available, however, to members specifically requesting them.


Request for Names of Servicemen and Servicewomen

Camp Welfare Activities of The Mother Church are in operation at stations of the United States Army and Navy. The names and complete mail addresses (including rank) of men and women in the armed forces of the United States here and abroad who are Christian Scientists, or who show an interest in Christian Science, are desired by workers engaged in these activities. Addresses of the servicemen and servicewomen should be sent to Christian Science Camp Welfare Activities by the men and women themselves, by members of their families, or by friends, who may also send changes of address, as promptly as possible, and thus aid in maintaining the effectiveness of the welfare work.

When reporting a change of address, the informant should send the old address, as well as the new one, to
Christian Science Camp Welfare Activities
107 Falmouth Street, Boston, Massachusetts

The address of one serving in the Canadian forces in a camp in Canada should be sent to the branch church or society nearest the camp. It will then be forwarded by the church or society to the committee carrying on welfare activities at that camp.

It should be made known to servicemen and servicewomen that they are privileged to call on Christian Science Wartime Ministers or volunteer Christian Science Wartime Workers for Christian Science help without charge. The Wartime Minister in any area may be located through a Commanding Officer, Chaplain, or Red Cross worker, or by inquiring at the nearest Christian Science Reading Room.
