For some time past the ever increasing development of our movement has added to the duties and responsibilities of our Board to such an extent that the heavy demands upon our time and attention have reached the point where an adjustment of existing conditions is imperative, in order that we may attend more assiduously and capably to the affairs of the Church imposed by the Manual upon the office we hold.
The periodic increase in membership of The Mother Church; the many new churches and societies constantly being organized; the steady growth of the numerous affairs of our three charitable institutions of which we are trustees, together with insistent demands upon our time from other activities essential to our movement, in addition to daily interviews, correspondence, and special meetings, make this announcement necessary.
We have, therefore, unanimously decided to relinquish our class teaching after January 1, 1938. The keen reluctance we feel in giving up so great a privilege as teaching Christian Science and the opportunities for growth which it offers, is somewhat mitigated by the fact that those who might come to us for teaching will find other teachers equally qualified who will receive them into their classes. As heretofore, we shall continue to hold our Association meetings annually as provided by the Manual.
