The Christian Science Board of Directors and the Board of Trustees of The Christian Science Publishing Society are happy to announce an important extension of The Herald of Christian Science, the contents of which are now available in nine different languages, each with the English text. In order to promote the missionary value of the editions at present published quarterly by giving them wider circulation and to make them generally more helpful, the Herald, beginning with the January, 1959, issue will appear in a new format in the following seven separate editions: Danish, Dutch, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish.
These quarterly Heralds will be the same convenient size as the Christian Science Sentinel, easy to read and to carry. The subscription price for each language will be 50 cents a year; single copies will be 15 cents. (There will be no change in the format or the price of the German and French Heralds, which are published monthly.)
Our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, established the first of our Heralds in 1903. From time to time additional editions have been introduced. The mission of the Herald is a very important one. It crosses the barriers of language to bring the Comforter to the people of various lands in their own familiar tongue. It proclaims the appeal which the healing Christ, Truth, makes to all humanity in demonstration of Mrs. Eddy s words (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 13), "Love is impartial and universal in its adaptation and bestowals."
