Mrs. Bauman Christian Science Church President A return to "God-centered thinking" is the world's most urgent need, said the new pres ident of the Christian Science Church today. Speaking before the Church's huge annual meeting throng in Boston, Mrs. Helen Wood Bau man warned that the scientific advances taking place In the world today are in danger of being misunderstood. "Intense interest in techno logical skills and human Inven tions is again tending to divert thought from Goo." and neg lecting "to give Him credit for a great release of mental en ergy," she declared. Instead of "indifference to Ood," men should be finding Him as "the center and cir cumference of their being, the source, and fulfillment of their honest aspirations."

The establishment of a Chris tian Science Society in Bangkok Thailand, was cited as one of the latest additions to the more than 3.200 congregations of the church. In their annual message to the meeting, The Christian Sci ence Board of Directors descri bed the major distresses in the world as "symptoms of a dry ing up of outgoing" love." They called for a "compassionate outreaching love for mankind" as the basic remedy. The retiring president, Ralph E.
