The Christian Science Publishing Society accepts religious articles and religious poems only from members of The Mother Church. Contributions from them are cordially welcomed. Metaphysical or religious articles intended for The Christian Science Journal, the Christian Science Sentinel, or The Christian Science Monitor should be sent to The Christian Science Publishing Society, Journal and Sentinel Editorial Department, 107 Falmouth Street, Boston, Massachusetts. This request applies also to articles and poems intended for any edition of The Herald of Christian Science, but articles and poems for the Heralds must be suitable for prior publication in the Journal or the Sentinel. A memorandum for contributors of religious articles and poems can be obtained from the Journal and Sentinel Editorial Department by request.
Convincing testimonies of Christian Science healing are also desired by the Journal and Sentinel Editorial Department. Each testimony must be signed by a person who either experienced the healing or was closely connected with it. Each testimony must be verified, preferably by three members of The Mother Church who either know of the healing or can vouch for the integrity of the testifier. The testifier should obtain these verifications. If he is not acquainted with three members of The Mother Church, his affidavit may be sufficient. In that case, however, he should obtain verification from one or two members of The Mother Church if he can. Complete addresses of the testifier and those who vouch for him should be furnished with each testimony.
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.
