New Members of The Christian Science Board of Lectureship

William Milford Correll, C. S. B., of Cleveland, Ohio, is a native of Missouri. He is a graduate of Oberlin College, Ohio, with a degree of A.B. in mathematics and philosophy. While in college he served as First Reader in the college organization meetings. After engaging in business for several years, he entered military service in the Second World War and served as a Christian Science Wartime Worker while abroad. After the war he began to devote his full time to the practice of Christian Science healing.

Mr. Correll became a member of Fourth Church of Christ, Scientist, Cleveland, Ohio, in 1929 and joined The Mother Church a year later. He received Primary class instruction in 1938. He has served his branch church as First Reader and as chairman of its executive board, as well as in other capacities. He has held the office of Committee on Publication for the state of Ohio since 1959.

In 1952 Mr. Correll was a member of the Normal class in the Board of Education and became an authorized teacher of Christian Science.

Thomas A. McClain, C. S., of Boston, Massachusetts, was born in Louisville, Kentucky, and attended the public schools there. He was brought up in Christian Science.

Air. McClain became a member of The Mother Church in 1939 and received Primary class instruction in 1940. He is a member of First Church of Christ, Scientist, Louisville, Kentucky, which he has served as First Reader, a member of its executive board, treasurer, and in other capacities.

After the Second World War, Mr. McClain served as a Christian Science Minister at an Army post in the United States, following which, in 1951, he was appointed Committee on Publication for the state of Kentucky. He entered the public practice of Christian Science in 1950, prior to which he engaged in commercial pursuits for a few years.

In 1959 Mr. McClain was appointed an Assistant to the Manager of Department of Branches and Practitioners, and in this position he has traveled extensively in the United States and Great Britain in the interest of branch church activities.

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.

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

Church Dedications

Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England (First Church).

Fifty-two years ago, in a private house at Chapel-ash, Wolverhampton, a small group of people held an informal church service.

That was the first recorded Christian Science service to be held in the town.

Yesterday, at Compton-road, not far from that private house, services were held in the morning, afternoon and evening dedicating the church edifice, First Church of Christ, Scientist, Wolverhampton.

It was in May, 1958, that the church buildings in Compton-road were opened, but it is customary for Christian Science churches not to be officially dedicated until the church in question is free from all debts. As a result of donations and help from members and friends over a number of years, Wolverhampton's church has now paid for the land on which it stands and the cost of the building, and it is free from all other financial commitments.

At yesterday's dedication services the history of the church's growth in Wolverhampton was detailed.

In 1912 an upper room was rented in Darlington-street. In 1917 a Sunday School was opened. By 1919 the premises had moved to Queen-street, with the addition of a Reading Room.

In 1923 a larger room was obtained in Waterloo-road—the Reading Room and library remaining in Queen-street.

A few years later, in 1926, premises were purchased in Tettenhall-road by means of a bank loan, and a large building was erected there for the holding of services.

In 1935 a plot of land was bought in Compton-road, and in 1940 the adjoining Merridale House was purchased. During the war years this was used by the National Fire Service.

After the war a building committee was formed, and work was put in hand resulting in the erection of the present church building and incorporating the Reading Room and library.

Yesterday's services were attended by members of Christian Science churches and societies throughout the West Midlands.—Express and Star (April 2, 1962).
