Church By-Laws

Article XXXV., section I, is amended to read:—

If a Christian Scientist is to be married, the ceremony shall be performed by a clergyman who is specially legally authorized to perform this ceremony. According to our present laws, a Christian Scientist alone cannot unite individuals in wedlock.

If a member of this Church publishes quotations from Mary Baker G. Eddy's copyrighted writings, without giving the name of the author, he shall be liable to public exposure thereof in our periodicals; and to have his name dropped from this Church.

This remonstrance has become unavoidable, not only, to call more serious attention to the commandment of the Decalogue, but to prevent Christian Science from being adulterated. This By-law shall neither be amended, nor annulled, except by the unanimous vote of all the First Members of this Church.
