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 cases it
shall be the privilege of this Board to name the Committee if it so
desires, and any Committee so named by the Board shall be elected by
the branch church.
Case of Necessity. SECTION 6. If a suitable man is not obtainable for
Committee on Publication, a suitable woman shall be elected. If at
any time the Christian Science Board of Directors shall determine
that the manager of the general Committee on Publication needs an
assistant, the Board shall, with the approval of the Pastor Emeritus,
appoint an assistant manager, who shall receive an adequate salary
from The Mother Church.
