The election of Francis Lyster Jandron, C. S. B., a Trustee of The Christian Science Publishing Society, to be a Director of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, was announced on September 12. Mr. Jandron succeeds Mr. William P. McKenzie, deceased, and has been nominated for the Trusteeships heretofore occupied by Mr. McKenzie. Mr. Jandron has resigned from the office of Trustee of the Publishing Society.
Mr. Jandron, who is a native of Canada, was educated in the island of Jersey and in London, England. He was actively engaged in industries in Canada and the United States for seventeen years, during which time he had become treasurer and assistant general manager of the Packard Motor Car Company at Detroit, Michigan. In 1921, he withdrew from a business career, so that he might devote his entire time to the practice of Christian Science healing.
After uniting in membership with The Mother Church in 1911, and with Third Church of Christ, Scientist, Detroit, Mr. Jandron served his branch church as First Reader, director, and chairman. He received instruction in the Normal class in the Board of Education in 1925, and became an authorized teacher of Christian Science. Mr. Jandron served continuously as Christian Science Committee on Publication for the State of Michigan from 1926 until 1935, when he was elected a member of The Christian Science Board of Lectureship. During his service in this capacity, he filled engagements throughout the United States and Canada, also in Continental Europe, where he lectured in English, French, or German, in Denmark, France, Germany, Latvia, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. In March, 1939, he was elected a Trustee of The Christian Science Publishing Society.
