The balance of the church building funds, which can be spared after
the debts are paid, should remain on safe deposit, to be hereafter
used for the benefit of this Church, as the right occasion may call
for it. The following indicates the proper management of the Church
funds:--
Report of Directors. SECTION 3. It shall be the duty of the Christian
Science Board of Directors to have the books of the Church Treasurer
audited semi-annually, and to report at the annual Church meeting
the amount of funds which the Church has on hand, the amount of its
indebtedness and of its expenditures for the last year.
Finance Committee. SECTION 4. There shall be a Committee on Finance,
which shall consist of three members of this Church in good standing.
Its members shall be appointed annually by the Christian Science
Board of Directors and with the consent of the Pastor Emeritus. They
shall hold quarterly meetings and keep themselves thoroughly informed
as to the real estate owned by this Church and the amount of funds
received by the Treasurer of The Mother Church, who is individually
responsible for said funds. They shall have the books of the
Christian Science Board of Directors and the books of the Church
Treasurer audited annually by an honest, competent accountant.
The books are to be audited on May first.
Prior to paying bills against the Church, the Treasurer of this
Church shall submit them all to said committee for examination.
