IN The Christian Science Monitor of April 14 and the Sentinel of May 19, The Christian Science Board of Directors, in announcing the date of the Annual Meeting of The Mother Church, called the attention of the Field to the Government's restrictions on travel during these critical days. Christian Scientists, a large number of whom were from the vicinity of Boston, filled the great edifice of The Mother Church Extension on June 4 and eagerly and with evident enthusiasm followed the reports of the various officers.
In reading these reports in this issue of the Journal, Christian Scientists the world over may feel that they truly are sharing in the inspiration of this important meeting. Certainly in the language of the loved hymn,
"Nearer and nearer draws the time,
The time that shall surely be,
When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea."
