In December, 1959, copies of a new pamphlet entitled "Guidance for Readers" were sent to the executive boards of all branch churches and societies with the recommendation that they be distributed to Readers only and one copy kept for the use of the executive board. Outgoing Readers should give their copies of this pamphlet to their successors. When additional copies are required, they will be supplied by the Department of Branches and Practitioners, 107 Falmouth Street, Boston, Massachusetts, U.S. A. 02115, upon request from the executive boards.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE NURSING

NOTICE
Lectures in Europe
Members of The Christian Science Board of Lectureship assigned to Great Britain, Ireland, and the Continent are announced in June, following the Annual Meeting of The Mother Church. Clerks of branch churches and of societies in those countries should then make applications promptly so that they will be received by the lecturers before July 1.
Lecturers cannot arrange their schedules until all applications have been received. Cooperation in sending requests early will be very much appreciated, as it will make possible a harmonious scheduling of individual dates. If a special need necessitates an extra call, the application would, of course, be handled as expeditiously as possible.
When executive boards of branch churches are appointing lecture committees, it would be well to keep in thought that the members of a committee should be able to communicate with each other during July and August.
INSTRUCTIONS TO LIBRARIANS
Orders for Mrs. Eddy's writings: All orders for the writings of Mary Baker Eddy, and remittances therefor, should be sent to Clem W. Collins, Publishers' Agent, One Norway Street, Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A. 02115.
All other orders: All orders for the Christian Science periodicals, Bibles, biographies, Hymnals, and other general publications, and remittances therefor, should be sent to The Christian Science Publishing Society, One Norway Street, Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A. 02115.
PROGRESS THROUGH CHURCH MEMBERSHIP
"Each day," writes a new member, "I feel more grateful that I was led to Christian Science." She continues, "In my membership I am encouraged to take forward steps and to participate in the work which the Church gives us."
Are you eager to take forward steps in your understanding and application of Christian Science? Church membership will help you to do this.
The closing date for the receipt of applications for the next admission of members is May 3, 1965.
Application blanks and information concerning membership in The Mother Church may be obtained at Christian Science Reading Rooms, from clerks of branch churches or societies, from practitioners listed in The Christian Science Journal or in The Herald of Christian Science. Applications may also be obtained from Gordon V. Comer, Clerk, 107 Falmouth Street, Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A. 02115.

(2) New address (street, city, state, ZIP code).
It has been found that changes of address are not practical under one week for The Christian Science Monitor and under one month for the other Christian Science periodicals.

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.
YOU CAN HELP
We can give you better service if you will return with your subscription payment the renewal notice which has your name and address on it. If you do not have it, a brief note of instructions will suffice. This will help us to identify the periodicals for which you are making payment. Thank you.
