No Interference. SECTION 10. A member of The Mother Church may be a
member of one branch Church of Christ, Scientist, or of one Christian
Science society holding public services, but he shall not be a member
of both a branch church and a society; neither shall he exercise

societies advertised in said _Journal_, and to maintain toward them
an attitude of Christian fellowship.
