Emeritus. The lecture year shall begin July 1 of each year.

Duty of Lecturers. SECTION 2. It is the duty of the Board of
Lectureship to include in each lecture a true and just reply to
public topics condemning Christian Science, and to bear testimony to
the facts pertaining to the life of the Pastor Emeritus. Each member
shall mail to the Clerk of this Church copies of his lectures before
delivering them.

No Disruption of Branch Churches. SECTION 3. The Board of Lectureship
is not allowed in anywise to meddle with nor to disrupt the
organization of branch churches. The lecturer can invite churches
within the city whither he is called to unite in their attendance on
his lecture, and so make for their churches a less lecture fee; but
the churches shall decide their action.

Receptions. SECTION 4. As a rule there should be no receptions nor
festivities after a lecture on Christian Science, but there may occur
exceptions. If there be an individual who goes to hear and deride
truth, he should go away contemplating truth; and he who goes to seek
truth should have the opportunity to depart in quiet _thought_ on
that subject.

Circuit Lecturer. SECTION 5. Upon the written request of Mrs. Eddy,
The Mother Church shall appoint a Circuit Lecturer. His term of
office, if approved, shall not be less than three years. He shall
lecture in the United States, in Canada, in Great Britain and
Ireland.

A member shall neither resign nor transfer this sacred office.
