n act under the direction of this Committee
on Publication.
In Branch Churches. SECTION 3. The Readers of the three largest
branch churches in each State of the United States and in Canada
shall annually and alternately appoint a Committee on Publication to
serve in their localities. For the purposes of this By-Law, the State
of California shall be considered as though it were two States, the
dividing line being the 36th parallel of latitude. Each county of
Great Britain and Ireland, except as hereinafter specified, through
the Readers of its three largest branch churches, shall annually
and alternately appoint a Committee on Publication to serve in
its locality. Each church is not necessarily confined to its own
members in selecting this Committee, but if preferred, can appoint
a Committee on Publication who is in good fellowship with another
Church of Christ, Scientist.
This By-Law applies to all States except Massachusetts, in which the
Committee on Publication is elected only by the Christian Science
Board of Directors. The Committee for the counties in which London,
England, is situated shall be appointed by the Christian Science
Board of Directors, and he shall, in addition to his other duties,
act as District Manager of the Committees on Publication for Great
Britain and Ireland.
Appointment. SECTION 4. The Committees on Publication shall consist
of men generally. Each State Committee shall be appointed by the
First and Second Readers of the church employing said Committee.
If prior to the meeting of the church for the election of officers,
Mrs. Eddy shall send to the First Reader of the church the name of
a candidate for its Committee on Publication, the Readers shall
appoint said candidate. Or if she shall send a special request to any
Committee on Publication, the request shall be carried out according
to her directions.
Removal from Office. SECTION 5. If the Committee on Publication
neglects to fulfil the obligations of his office according to these
By-Laws, and this becomes apparent to the Christian Science Board
of Directors, it shall be the duty of the Directors immediately to
act upon this important matter in accordance with said By-Laws.
The Christian Science Board of Directors may notify any Church of
Christ, Scientist, to remove its Committee on Publication and to
appoint another Committee to fill the vacancy; and it shall be the
duty of that church to comply with this request. In such case
