There seems to be a failure on the part of many of the Churches to understand one of the main purposes for which the Board of Lectureship was instituted. The intention evidently is to reach those who are strangers to the truth regarding Christian Science, or who are interested enough to listen to a public discussion regarding Christian Science, but who, so far, have not been reached by other methods.

The following notice has already been given by our Leader, the Rev. Mary Baker Eddy:— "The Christian Science Board of Directors of the Mother Church, and the branch churches of Christ, Scientist, may apply to the Board of Lectureship for lecturers, within the bounds of their sections or precincts in the United States, Canada, or Great Britain.

The Board of Lectureship is not allowed in anywise to meddle with or to disrupt the organization of branch churches. The lecturer can invite churches within the city whither he is called to unite in their attendance on his lecture, and so make for their churches a smaller lecture fee.

The author of the Christian Science text-book takes no patients, does not consult on disease, nor read letters referring to these subjects.

The Wednesday experience meeting for subjects of general interest pertaining to Christian Science as well as personal experience, is now called the Wednesday Evening meeting. A member of the Board of Lectureship may lecture at these meetings as often as once in three months.

All correspondence with the clerk of the Mother Church on matters pertaining to his office, should be addressed to William B. Johnson, C.

The Christian Science Board of Lectureship of the Mother Church is authorized to announce to the Field that the recent notice requiring lectures to be given at Wednesday Evening Meetings "as often as once in three months" was not intended as a compulsory requirement resting upon all the branch churches, but rather upon the larger churches, which will be designated later. It is expected that the smaller churches will also recognize the valuable nature of this work, and carry out the intention of the notice to the extent of their ability.
