Special Instructions Regarding Applications for Church Membership

1. Loyal members of The Mother Church are eligible to approve
candidates to unite with this Church.

2. No persons are eligible to countersign applications except
loyal students of Mrs. Eddy, Directors, and students of the Board
of Education who have been given a degree, and are members of The
Mother Church.

3. Those who approve applicants should have applications returned
to them after being filled out by the applicants, as required by
Article V, Sect. 6, and should compare them with the forms here
given, and see that names are legibly written, before sending
them to the Clerk of the Church. If not correct, the applicant
will be notified, and new applications will be required, as
none will be returned that are not correctly made out. This
requirement is to prevent applications being duplicated and the
confusion that might result therefrom. It is important that these
seemingly strict conditions be exactly complied with, as the
names of the members of The Mother Church will be recorded in the
history of the Church and become a part thereof.

4. All names, whether of applicants, signers, or countersigners,
must be plainly written, and one, at least, of the given names of
each, written in full. Initials only of first names will not be
received. Women must sign Miss or Mrs. before their names as the
case may be.

All names must be written the same in all places where they are
required.

TO APPLICANTS

1. In filling out the application blank, one of the Christian
names must be written in full. Initials alone will not be
received.

2. If the applicant is a married woman she must sign her own
Christian name, not her husband's, and prefix her signature with
"Mrs;" unmarried women must sign "Miss."

3. There are two regular forms of application. 1. For those who
have studied Christian Science with an authorized teacher; 2. For
those who have not studied Christian Science with a teacher.

Applicants will find the chief points of these instructions
illustrated in Form 1 and Form 2, on pages 114 and 118.

4. Those whose teachers are deceased, absent, or disloyal, or
those whose tea
