1. Prior to Mrs. Eddy.s passing, the Publishing Society and its Trustees had full control over their publications, subject of course to Mrs. Eddy's supervision. (paras. 2, 3, 8 of the 1898 Deed of Trust, and Art. 25, Sect. 8 of the Manual).

2. Since "only the Publishing Society of The Mother Church, selects, approves, and publishes the books and literature it sends forth," subject to Mrs. Eddy's approval of course, the Directors of the Church have no say in selecting, approving, nor publishing the books and literature at all.

3. To say that the law-suit between the Directors and the Trustees placed the supervision of the publications in the hands of the Directors is to contradict Art. 25, Sect. 8 of the Manual and paras. 3 and 8 of the 1898 Deed of Trust.

4. The Directors were only given the privilege of electing editors, subject to Mrs. Eddy's consent as Pastor Emeritus "given in her own handwriting" (Art. 25, Sect. 4 of the Manual), and lest they appoint Christian Scientists who might shine as healers but be otherwise unfit, they were enjoined to appoint able and progressive editors.

5. With Mrs. Eddy's passing, this power ceased, and both the editors and business manager would then be elected under para. 6 of the 1898 Deed of Trust.

6 The Committee on Bible Lessons has always been appointed by the Trustees under para. 7 of the 1898 Deed of Trust, and Mrs. Eddy specified that a copy of the 73rd and subsequent editions of the Manual should be kept by each of the three groups after her passing, namely, the Directors, the Trustees, and the Committee on Bible Lessons. (Art. 35, Sect. 2).

7. No provision was made for copies of the Manual to be kept by the Board of Education and the Board of Lecturers because both of these boards would disappear when Mrs. Eddy passed on.

8. Both before Mrs. Eddy's passing (under Art. 25, Sect. 3 of the Manual) and after her passing (under para. 10 of the 1898 Deed of Trust), the Directors have had .the power to declare vacancies in said trusteeship for such reasons as to them may seem expedient,. but Mrs. Eddy never intended that this power could or should be employed to settle differences of opinion between the whole Board of Directors and the whole Board of Trustees regarding any question that lay within the province of the Trustees, as shown by the fact that filling a vacancy, in case Mrs. Eddy did not wish to do so herself, was left to "the remaining trustees."

9. The Directors were empowered to "declare" a vacancy where no such action had already been taken by the remaining trustees, but they were given no power to actually dismiss an unsuitable trustee.

10. To give an arbitrary meaning to this power, as was done by the Supreme Court in the lawsuit, is to annul the provisions of Art. 25, Sect. 8 of the Manual, and paras. 3 and 8 of the 1898 Deed of Trust. This was supposedly done, at that time, to save the movement from being split in two in view of the temper of mind of the majority who had not been made aware of the facts. This action should now be reversed.

11. After Mrs. Eddy's passing the Publishing Society would have continued under its own "perpetual and irrevocable trust," the Trustees taking over the appointment of the editors and business manager from the Directors who were to cease, along with their power to remove cards from the Christian Science Journal.

12. The Trustees would continue to pay to the Treasurer of The First Church of Christ, Scientist the net profits of the business (para. 4 of the 1898 Deed of Trust), such profits being utilized for the upkeep of the church buildings and No. 385 Commonwealth Avenue; the per capita tax to the Mother Church having ceased.

13. The duty of the Directors of the Mother Church to provide suitable buildings for the publications and all other Christian Science Literature published by the Publishing Society (Art. 1, Sect. 7 of the 1898 Deed of Trust) would lapse, as it is not among their duties as provided for in the 1892 Deed of Trust.

14. The cost of providing land and buildings for the publications would be met by the Trustees out of the proceeds earned under the 1898 Deed of Trust.

15. As long as Mrs. Eddy was here, the Publishing Society was the Publishing Society of the Mother Church (Art. 35, Sect. 8 of the Manual), and the Directors were empowered to elect its editors and general manager, subject to Mrs. Eddy's consent, and the periodicals published by the Publishing Society were the organs of the Mother Church. (Art. 8, Sect. 14).

16. After Mrs. Eddy's passing and the dissolution of the Mother Church, the periodicals could no longer be so described, and Christian Scientists would no longer be required to subscribe to them, the provisions of Art. 8, Sect. 14 applying only to the early days of the establishment.

17. The Publishing Society would have to ensure that the periodicals were so good that Christian Scientists and the general public would want to subscribe to them on a voluntary basis.

18. There will be those who cling to organization, and those who would want to dispense with it but feel that it is not the time to do so. Either way, with the exception of the Lessons Sermons, only the publishing of reprints prior to Mrs. Eddy's passing in 1910, and her books and other writings, would be in consonance with the Manual of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, that applies to only the Mother Church; her oversight no longer being available.

19. What is really important, however, is that Mrs. Eddy's followers should seek to maintain the essential unity of the Fold, and be content to leave those students who do not agree with them, free to follow the line they honestly believe to be best, therein expressing the essential characteristics of Democracy and Christian brotherhood.
