For the Annual Meeting

Send Reports of Progress Early

Our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, established the Annual Meeting of The Mother Church as a time for listening to the reports of its officers and for general reports from the Field. At this time not only The Mother Church, but also each branch looks back over the past year rejoices in the many evidences of divine beneficence and guidance and in the experiences which have brought our movement forward to higher demonstration. An opportunity to share these good tidings is afforded at the Annual Meeting under the provisions of Article XIII, Section 1, of the Manual of The Mother Church by our Leader. While only a few representative reports can be read in the time allotted, it is helpful to hear from as many branch churches and societies as wish to report.

Letters and reports should be in the hands of The Christian Science Board of Directors not later than april 15 and as much earlier as possible.
