OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO COLLEGE STUDENTS
A three-day meeting to consider and advance the mission of the Christian Science organizations at colleges and universities, formed in accordance with Article XXIII, Section 8, of the Manual of The Mother Church by Mary Baker Eddy, will be held in Boston in The Mother Church on August 26, 27, and 28, 1965.
The 1965 meeting will consider how the activities of Christian Science organizations promote the moral and spiritual education of the individual student; what Christian Science college organizations contribute to the spiritual enlightenment of the academic community and to the growth of the Church of Christ, Scientist; why organizations are vital to the development of world thinking and international understanding. Specific thought will be given to many basic questions, student needs, career planning, responsibilities of citizenship, successful marriage and family life, and many aspects of college life.
Travel expenses are borne by the students themselves, although a good many will gratefully receive loving help from parents, alumni, friends, and local branch churches.
Students who are members of The Mother Church and who are enrolled in a college or university during the academic year 1964-65, or who will be enrolled during the academic year 1965-66, are invited to attend. Also, members of The Mother Church who have faculty or instructor status during either of the aforementioned academic years are eligible to be present. Organization advisors who are members of The Mother Church are welcome as observers.

SUBMITTING TESTIMONIES
Convincing testimonies of healing in Christian Science are welcomed for publication from members of The Mother Church and from students who are not members. If possible, they should be typed, triple spaced, on one side of the paper only and with wide margins. A testimony should be concise and include only the important points necessary to tell of the healings. Thus more testimonies can be published. Testimonies should be signed by the testifier and verified by three members of The Mother Church who can vouch for the integrity of the testifier or have witnessed the healings. If the testifier is unacquainted with three members, his affidavit may be sufficient, but in this case he should, if possible, obtain verification from one or two members. The testifier should submit the verifications with the testimony. Complete addresses of the testifier and his vouchers should be furnished.
Testimonies should be addressed to Journal, Sentinel, and Herald Editorial Department, One Norway Street, Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A. 02115.
