More than twenty-five years ago a plan was established whereby members of The Christian Science Board of Lectureship who had served continuously for six or more years could, in the order of their seniority and if they so desired, request a period of a year for study and spiritual refreshment during which time they would engage in the practice of Christian Science healing.
The benefits of this arrangement having been made apparent both as to the individual lecturers and the important work in which they were engaged, it was decided a number of years ago to make a more definite arrangement in this direction, and the plan was adopted whereby each member of the Board of Lectureship would retire for a period of two years for study, refreshment, and the practice of Christian Science after serving continuously for four years on that Board.
