In recent years more members of The Mother Church have paid their annual per capita tax during May, June, and July than any other three months of the year. As a result, extra workers have been needed to handle the thousands of remittances received during this period. The additional expense thereby incurred would not be necessary if new members and those who have been accustomed to remitting at Annual Meeting time would find it convenient in the future to forward their per capita tax during the six months' period from October to March instead. The active cooperation of members along this line will prove most helpful in effecting substantial economies in our work.
Per Capita Tax, as provided in the Church Manual, Article VIII, Section 13, is due annually from "every member of The Mother Church," and "shall be forwarded each year to the Church Treasurer." This tax of "not less than one dollar" may be paid at any time during the year, but should be forwarded preferably during the six months' period from October to March. When a remittance for church dues is more than the amount required to balance one's account, the surplus is credited for the present year.
Contributions to The Christian Science Benevolent Association are acceptable; and contributions may also be made to the General Fund and to the Real Estate Fund of The Mother Church.
