The first gun announcing the building of Christian Science churches, Anno Domini 1898, was fired at Brooklyn on Sunday, January 9. We publish a full account of the interesting occasion in this issue. We suppose this to be the signal for a general fusillade all along the line.
Upwards of twenty-three hundred new members were admitted to membership in the Mother Church on January 1, 1898.
The Communion service will be held in the Mother Church on the first Sunday in June and in December of each year, beginning in June, 1898, instead of the first Sunday in July and January as heretofore.
The semi-annual meetings of this Church will be held the Saturdays next preceding the Communion Sundays.
Applications for membership with the Mother Church to be presented at a semi-annual meeting, must be in the hands of the clerk not later than the twentieth day of the month preceding the day of the meeting. No application received at a later date will be presented.
