Membership Notice

Applications for membership in The Mother Church are acted upon by The Christian Science Board of Directors, twice each year, as provided for by the Manual of The Mother Church, Article XIII, Section 2.

The next date for the admission of applicants in The Mother Church is November 5, 1943. Applications must reach the Clerk on or before Monday, October 4, 1943.

A letter of acknowledgment is sent to each applicant whose application is received by the Clerk, but this letter does not signify that he has been admitted to membership. When his application has been duly acted upon by the Board of Directors, he is notified promptly by the Clerk of the action taken.

If an application has been forwarded and, within a reasonable length of time, the applicant has not received acknowledgment, he is invited to make inquiry of the Clerk before forwarding a second application. This procedure avoids possible duplication of applications. However, applications received during the month immediately preceding the date of the current admission to membership will not be acknowledged until after that admission.

Application blanks for membership in The Mother Church are obtainable at Christian Science Reading Rooms and from clerks of branch churches and societies. Applications may always be obtained from Miss Mary G. Ewing, Clerk, 107 Falmouth Street, Boston 15, Massachusetts.

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, and 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 5x8 inches, and is generally used by the branch organizations as a basis for their membership blanks. The small size measures approximately 4x6 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 Miss Mary G. Ewing, Clerk, 107 Falmouth Street, Boston 15, Massachusetts.
