CHRISTIAN SCIENCE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, et al______
Defendants

Exhibit XX
When The Breach Is Repaired

1. Many Christian Scientists have never heard of the Litigation of 1919-1921, since it took place almost 90 years ago. Nevertheless, there is no statute of Limitations applicable to the removal of an erroneous condition. And the time for doers has come.

2. The ecclesiastical Mother Church in Boston, as a Mother church, should have been dissolved no later than mid 1912 with the passing of Directors Stephen A. Chase, and The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass., with its Board of 4 directing Trustees, should have then continued under its Deed of Trust of September 1, 1892. The estoppel clause in Art. 1, Sec. 5, page 26 of the Manual prevented the filling of the vacancy on the passing of the fifth director.

3. The last link between the Mother Church and the branch churches was dropped following the Annual Meeting in 1906, when the extension was dedicated and no further meetings of the Mother Church and branches were held.

4. No other than its officers are required to be present at the Annual Meetings, Man. Art. 13, page 56, "for listening to the reports of Treasurer, Clerk, and Committees, and general reports from the Field."

5. The branches are branches of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, which is a spiritual association eternally represented as the congregation. Thus the presence or absence of the Mother Church has no effect on the branches. They can continue as long as they are deemed necessary, "in consonance" (harmony) with the church Manual of the congregation of the branches, to provide a service to the community in which they are located.

6. "If the Pastor Emeritus, Mrs. Eddy, should relinquish her place as the head of Leader of the Mother Church of Christ, Scientist, each branch church (congregation) shall continue its present form of government in consonance with the Mother Church Manual." (Man. page 72).

7. After Mrs. Eddy's passing, an estoppel clause prevents the annual election of Lecturers without the approval of the pastor Emeritus being obtained. When the centralized organization is dissolved, Christian Science censorship of lectures will no longer occur and there will be an immediate resurgence of spiritual growth in the Field.

8. Another estoppel prevents the election of Teachers to the Board of Education without the approval of the Pastor Emeritus. (Man. p.88).

9. There is no Department of Branches and Practitioners in the Church Manual. The land Deeds of Trust do not extend to such a department, since the board established by those 2 deeds is fiduciary in nature and its duties are confined to housekeeping functions. This matter of official teachers, practitioners, and personal teaching disappears or should have disappeared after the passing of Mrs. Eddy, since the election of a teacher to the Board of Education is prohibited by the estoppel clause therein.

10. The Christian Science Publishing Society has its own Deed of Trust, dated January 25, 1898, which was recognized by the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts in its decision on November 23, 1921. That Deed is complete in and of itself.

11. All portions of the Church Manual which concern the Publishing Society become inoperative with the passing of Mrs. Eddy, through the estoppels which appear elsewhere concerning the Directors. (See Article 25, pp.79-82, and Article 8, Sec, 14, p.44).
