Duties. SECTION 2. It shall be the duty of the Committee on
Publication to correct in a Christian manner impositions on the
public in regard to Christian Science, injustices done Mrs. Eddy
or members of this Church by the daily press, by periodicals or
circulated literature of any sort. This Committee on Publication
shall be responsible for correcting or having corrected a false
newspaper article which has not been replied to by other Scientists,
or which has been forwarded to this Committee for the purpose of
having him reply to it. If the correction by the Committee on
Publication is not promptly published by the periodical in which it
is desirable that this correction shall appear, this Committee shall
immediately apply for aid to the Committee on Business. Furthermore,
the Committee on Publication shall read the _last proof sheet_ of
such an article and see that it is published according to copy; he
shall circulate in large quantities the papers containing such an
article, sending a copy to the Clerk of the Church. It shall also be
the duty of the Committee on Publication to have published each year
in a leading Boston newspaper the letter sent to the Pastor Emeritus
by the Church members in annual meeting assembled. The State
Committees on Publication 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.
