Teachers of those classes where the pupils are studying the Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly know that it is their responsibility to go to the class prepared to ask question, for, according to Section 3 of Article XX of the Manual of The Mother Church by Mary Baker Eddy, the essential content of the "next lessons" is questions and answers.
Our new Reading Room had been open about six weeks when the librarian reported a decided increase in the number of inquiries about Christian Science and also in the sale of literature.
Many branches of The Mother Church maintain a Sunday School lending library so that pupils who do not have access in the home to all of the writings of Mary Baker Eddy and other authorized works on Christian Science may have an opportunity to borrow them.
The primary reason for moving our Christian Science Reading Room to its present ground-floor quarters was the letter from The Christian Science Board of Directors dated July 30, 1948.
