ON JUNE 1, THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE BOARD OF DIRECTORS met to elect candidates to membership with The Mother Church. The members of the Board are truly grateful for each and every individual who unites with the Church that Mary Baker Eddy organized "... to commemorate the word and works of our Master, which should reinstate primitive Christianity and its lost element of healing" (Church Manual, p. 17).
