AN AMENDED BY-LAW

ARTICLE VIII.

From the October 1910 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Practitioners and Patients.—Sec. 22. Members of this church shall hold in sacred confidence all private communications made to them by their patients; also such information as may come to them by reason of their relation of practitioner to patient. A failure to do this shall subject the offender to church discipline.

A member of The Mother Church shall not, under pardonable circumstances, sue his patient for recovery of payment for said member's practice, on penalty of discipline and liability to have his name removed from membership. Also, he shall reasonably reduce his price in chronic cases of recovery, and in cases where he has not effected a cure. A Christian Scientist is a humanitarian;he is benevolent, forgiving, long-suffering, and seeks to overcome evil with good.
