RAMSAY BOOK IN PAPERBACK
The perennial favorite, Christian Science and Its Discoverer by E. Mary Ramsay, is now available in an English paperback edition. This brief record of the life and work of Mary Baker Eddy, with its simple statements of the teachings of Christian Science, has always been an effective way to share Christian Science with the newcomer. Now, in this economical edition, it can be used even more widely.
Has someone asked you recently about Mrs. Eddy and Christian Science? This appealing paperback could be most helpful.
You can buy it for $2.50 from most Christian Science Reading Rooms, or order directly from The Christian Science Publishing Society, One Norway Street, Boston, MA, U.S.A. 02115.
"RETIRE TO WHAT?"— A NEW LEAFLET
"Retire to What?" is the second in a series of leaflets printed in extra-large type for the convenience of those who find this format easier to read.
Reprinted from The Christian Science Monitor, the article makes a clear distinction between one's "job" and one's "work," showing that while a job can end, the joyous work of expressing the qualities of God never ends. In fact, when a "job" is finished, one may well be freer to continue his or her "work." New opportunities are almost always at hand, because God provides both place and purpose for every one of His children.
Do you know someone who is planning to retire? Are you? This inspiring leaflet could bring a fresh perspective to this important step. It may be purchased from most Christian Science Reading Rooms for 10 cents, or ordered directly from The Christian Science Publishing Society, One Norway Street, Boston, MA, U.S.A. 02115.
