Our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, with her usual foresight and wisdom, made provision through the Manual of The Mother Church for the Christian Science nurse. In Article VIII, Section 31, of the Manual she writes:
"A member of The Mother Church who represents himself or herself as a Christian Science nurse shall be one who has a demonstrable knowledge of Christian Science practice, who thoroughly understands the practical wisdom necessary in a sick room, and who can take proper care of the sick.
"The cards of such persons may be inserted in The Christian Science Journal under rules established by the publishers."
