Notes from the Publishing House Increase in Card Rates

Beginning with the July, 1929, issue, the annual advertising charge for church and society cards in The Christian Science Journal will be $15.00 a line or fraction thereof and for practitioners $10.00 a line or fraction thereof. The charge for nurses' cards in the Journal will remain the same, $5.00 a line, as will the charge for practitioners and nurses in Le Heraut and Der Herold, at $2.00 a line.

In spite of the constantly increasing costs of labor and paper the Publishing Society has maintained until now the practitioners' rates established in 1913 and the church and society rates established in 1918. This has of late years meant an annual loss coincident with the growth in circulation of the Journal which is now nearly double what it was in 1913. A corresponding increase in the amount of paper required by this gratifying growth in circulation necessitates the present change in rates.

The new rates go into effect for new advertisements and all renewals of churches, societies, and practitioners beginning with the July, 1929, issue of the Journal.

Admission to The Mother Church

Applications for admission to membership in The Mother Church may be sent to the Clerk at any time throughout the year. It is desirable that applications should be forwarded in ample time so that they may receive the essential preliminary attention before the date of election. The receipt of an application by the Clerk does not make the applicant a member. Applications are acted upon by the Board of Directors, twice each year, as provided by the Manual of The Mother Church, Article XIII, Section 2.

The receipt of all applications is acknowledged by the Clerk; and on the date set for consideration, notice of acceptance or rejection is sent by the Clerk to those whose applications have been received in time. Should an applicant not receive such notice, he is requested to communicate with the Clerk before forwarding a second application.

The next meeting of the Board for this purpose occurs May 31, 1929. Applications to be acted upon at that time should reach the Clerk by May 17, 1929. Applications received too late for consideration in June will be placed on file for the November, 1929, admission.

Applications forms may usually be obtained from Reading Rooms and from the Clerks of branch organizations, or they may be secured by addressing Ezra W. Palmer, Clerk, 206 Massachusetts Avenue, Back Bay Station, Boston, Massachusetts.
