         of members that have gone out of The First Church of
         Christ, Scientist, in Boston, is this: While my affec-

15    all shall be redeemed, I am not unmindful that the Scrip-
         tures enjoin, “Let all things be done decently and in

         regain it, one must comply with the church rules. All
20    who desire its fellowship, and to become members of it,
         must send in their petitions to this effect to the Clerk
         of the church; and upon a meeting being called, the
         First Members will determine the action of the church
         on this subject.
