Notices

[As published in The Christian Science Monitor, September 9, 1944]

Announcement

The Christian Science Board of Directors announces that, in the event of the issuance of a proclamation by the President of the United States, or the governors of the individual states, or a decision by the various religious denominations, to hold special services in their churches on the occasion of reaching an armistice, or the declaration of peace, in the European theater of war, those Churches of Christ, Scientist, which desire to do so are free to arrange for special services for thanksgiving and prayer. On such an occasion the Order of Service of the Wednesday evening meeting may be followed, using selections from the Bible and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" suitable for the occasion, but omitting the testimonies.

If the announcement of an armistice or a declaration of peace should come on the Sabbath day or on Wednesday, the regular church services, with a brief suitable announcement, read with the customary notices, would seem to be all that is required.

Series of Free Public Lectures on Christian Science

The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, announces a series of free public lectures on Christian Science by Miss Florence Middaugh, C.S., a member of The Christian Science Board of Lectureship. Complete information may be found in the list of Lectures to be Delivered.

Notice to Correspondents

Officers of branch churches and individuals who have occasion to correspond with The Christian Science Board of Directors, with the Clerk and the Treasurer of The Mother Church, and with heads of departments of The Mother Church Offices are requested always to place their addresses on their letters and to write their signatures plainly. Women are requested to use the title "Miss" or "Mrs." as the fact may be, and to use their Christian names. The time spent in the offices in searching out this information can be better spent in replying to the letters or in keeping necessary records. The co-operation of correspondents is solicited.

Lecture Notice

To ensure that complete lecture notices be printed in the Sentinel, detailed information should reach the Journal, Sentinel, and Herald Editorial Department regarding lectures in the United States and Canada at least seven weeks before the date of the lecture; elsewhere, eight or ten weeks before. When lectures are to be radiocast, it should be so stated, station and frequency in kilocycles being included. The receipt of all information from the United States and Canada is acknowledged by the Editorial Department. If an acknowledgment is not received within a reasonable time, a duplicate notice should be forwarded.
