Boston, Mass.—A call to renewed
activity in the daily application of
Christian Science was issued Monday
at the annual meeting of The Mother
Church, The First Church of Christ,
Scientist,, in Boston, Massachusetts,
by The Christian Science .board of
directors.
Church officers in their reports
divulged marked growth of the
movement throughout the world, and
increased demand for the writings of
Mary Baker Eddy, discoverer and
founder of Christian Science.
George Wendell Adams," speaking
as chairman of the board of direc-
tors, stressed the need for interest
not only in problems of individuals,
“but also in the general welfare of
the wbrld. Truth and Love hold
guard over the whole world as well
as over the minutest occupant of it,”
the Director said.
“In these days of unrest, with
rumors of vital disagreements
among nations, we should turn often
in prayerful expectancy that nation
shall not rise up against nation, but
that Love, God, will be acknowl-
edged as supreme in the affairs of
men. In reality, men and nations do
not envy and hate each other; be-,
cause they, have one heavenly Father
they respect and love each other.”
Referring to the new Christian
Science Publishing House which in-
creased demand for Christian Scence
literature made necessary, Mr.
Adams asserted that while whole-
some activity in the movement con-
tinues, “the putting up of buildings,
however beautiful and necessary
they may be, does not in itself lay
the foundation for spiritual enlight-
enment* which is. essential to meet
the demands of humanity. To be
enduring, growth must be the result
of earnest, active spiritual effort.”
The election of A. Barry Bacon as
the new President of The Mother
Church was announced. Mr. Bacon
succeeds Dr. John M. Brewer, Asso-
ciate Professor at the Harvard
Graduate School o fEducation.
New Readers elected to serve in
The Mother Church for the next
three years are Ralph B. Scholfield
and Miss Florence Siever Middaugh.
Edward L. Ripley and Ezra W.
Palmer, both of Brookline, Mass.,
were re-elected treasurer and clerk
of the church, respectively.

Entertains At Bridge
Miss Betty Jane Scott entertained
a small group of friends at an in-
