NOTICES

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 church directory in The Christian Science Journal.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE READING ROOMS

... are a good place to investigate Christian Science more deeply, to become more familiar with the Bible, to read Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures and other writings by Mary Baker Eddy, to learn how to study the weekly Bible Lesson in the Christian Science Quarterly. A free lending library is there for your use, and the attendant will be happy to answer your questions.

EVERYONE FINDS HIS OWN "RIGHT MOMENT" TO JOIN

No one can say when the quiet realization will come that you're ready. But if you're seriously pursuing the study of Christian Science, it will.

Joining The Mother Church can prove to be a significant step in your spiritual progress. It's been one for many other people. As you read the membership application and consider the meaning of its requirements, you may feel that membership is just the support you need to stay "on course."

We welcome your application. You can get the form from any Christian Science Reading Room, branch church, or society; from someone who's already a member of The Mother Church; or from a public practitioner listed in The Christian Science Journal or The Herald of Christian Science. Or you may write directly to the Clerk of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, Christian Science Center, Boston, MA, U.S.A. 02115.
