SUBMITTING TESTIMONIES
Convincing testimonies of healing in Christian Science are welcomed for publication from members of The Mother Church and from students who are not members. If possible, they should be typed, triple spaced, on one side of the paper only and with wide margins. A testimony should be concise and include only the important points necessary to tell of the healings. Thus more testimonies can be published. Testimonies should be signed by the testifier and verified by three members of The Mother Church who can vouch for the integrity of the testifier or have witnessed the healings. If the testifier is unacquainted with three members, his affidavit may be sufficient, but in this case he should, if possible, obtain verification from one or two members. The testifier should submit the verifications with the testimony. Complete addresses of the testifier and his vouchers should be furnished.
All contributions accepted for publication become the sole property of The Christian Science Publishing Society.
Testimonies should be addressed to The Christian Science Publishing Society, Journal, Sentinel, and Herald Editorial Department, One Norway Street, Boston, MA, U.S.A. 02115.
