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, Massachusetts, U.S.A. 02115.
Notes from The Christian Science Publishing Society
How one may gain gracious self-control and know its blessings is helpfully explained in a new English leaflet issued by The Christian Science Publishing Society. The leaflet, available at Christian Science Reading Rooms or directly from the Publishing Society at 10 cents a copy, is entitled "Self-Control and Grace."
Attention, Members of the Armed Services and Their Families
Christian Science Activities for the Armed Services, which include arrangements for regular Christian Science services, treatment, and other assistance for men and women in the Armed Forces, extend throughout the United States, Canada, and many overseas areas. Information regarding these activities and lists of overseas Ministers and Representatives will be furnished upon request.
Service personnel or members of their families are asked to send names and addresses of Christian Scientists in the Armed Forces to Christian Science Activities for the Armed Services, 107 Falmouth Street, Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A. 02115. To enable this department to be of the greatest service, changes of military address should be reported promptly.
Christian Scientists are encouraged to register as such, rather than under the general term "Protestant." In the Armed Forces of the United States, Great Britain, and Canada they may have the words "Christian Science" or a meaningful abbreviation thereof stamped on their identification tags or discs.
The Mother Church continues to furnish Ministers for forts, camps, bases, and stations, as well as for veterans' hospitals. Information regarding Christian Science activities in these installations and hospitals may be obtained from the chaplain's office at each installation and hospital, or by writing direct to the Christian Science Activities for the Armed Services.
