Announcements

Meeting the demand for a German edition of the Quarterly in full text! The Christian Science Publishing Society is pleased to announce that a German edition of the Christian Science Quarterly—Bible Lessons, Full Text Edition, will be published by the Publishing Society, beginning with the October 1998 issue. The German Full Text Edition will be a high-quality publication in a handy format (approximately 53/4" by 81/4").

Public tours of The Mother Church and the Mary Baker Eddy Historical Homes (Lynn and Chestnut Hill) were discontinued May 4 until early fall 1998 because of the Restoration and Renewal Program. If you have any questions, please call 1-800-288-7155, ext.

A continuing invitation to write Do you have an article in mind? Some spiritual insight you've been wanting to share? Writing and contributing metaphysical articles is an important avenue of spiritual growth; a way to grow individually and to help others. If you would like to submit articles or poetry for the Journal, Sentinel, and Herald —or articles on Christian Science for The Home Forum page of the Monitor —the Editors would love to receive them.

We are pleased to announce several new elections and appointments. New President The Board has elected Jon G.

An extraordinary International Conference will take place at The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston this August—and it's designed especially for you if you are a student, faculty member, or instructor at a college or university, a recent college graduate, or are in your last year of school (high school) before attending college. The Conference will explore the theme "Pioneers of the Spiritual Millennium" in three dynamic days of inquiry and discussion with speakers and panelists from around the world.

The closing years of this century continue to be marked by an accelerating public demand for spiritual answers and for the system of healing that Mary Baker Eddy discovered and then provided to the world in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. As has been the case with the past several Annual Meetings, this year's meeting will record both humanity's burgeoning spiritual quest and the creative and timely ways that The Mother Church and its members are responding.
