Bible Promises and Their Relation to Membership in The Mother Church

In a period of great stress, one of the early Biblical leaders records God as saying, "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God" (Isa. 41:10).

Earnest students of Christian Science are proving the promises of the Bible to be applicable today, affording freedom from the many forms of fear. These students soon realize that membership in The Mother Church is one of the orderly steps to take in the great crusade against fear and all other limiting material beliefs.

The closing date for the receipt of applications for the next admission of members is October 5, 1959.

Application blanks and information concerning membership may be obtained at Christian Science Reading Rooms, from practitioners listed in The Christian Science Journal, or from clerks of branch churches and societies. Applications may also be obtained from Gordon V. Comer, Clerk, 107 Falmouth Street, Boston 15, Massachusetts.

Fund for Armed Services Activities

The thousands of Christian Scientists in the armed services, who are serving their respective countries throughout the world, are being helped by The Mother Church through the Fund for Armed Services Activities.

Christian Science Ministers are paid from this Fund. These workers conduct Christian Science services, give treatments, and visit and work with those in Veterans Hospitals who seek and rely wholly on Christian Science for healing. They contact the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who indicate Christian Science as their religious preference, giving them Service Edition sets of the Bible and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy and, in the case of young recruits, helping them to adjust to their military experience. Quantities of authorized Christian Science literature are distributed among the Armed Forces personnel.

The scope of the work is great, for The Mother Church has Christian Science Ministers and field workers placed in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Australia, Japan, Korea, and other countries. During the past year, approximately $300,000 was expended to carry on this work.

Contributions are welcome and should be sent to the Treasurer, Roy Garrett Watson, 107 Falmouth Street, Boston 15, Massachusetts.

Testimony Meetings

Meetings at which testimonies of Christian Science healing are given, are held in Christian Science churches on Wednesdays. A cordial invitation to attend these meetings, as well as the Sunday services, is extended to all. Information telling where and when these are held is given in the Directory in The Christian Science Journal.

From the Treasurer of The Mother Church

Payments of per capita tax and contributions, also changes of address, should be sent to Roy Garrett Watson, Treasurer, 107 Falmouth Street, Boston 15, Massachusetts, U.S.A.
