SERVANTS AND THEIR DUTIES 26 may communicate with the city servant relative to service of a special nature and advise him specifically of what is desired. When a cireuit servant visits a city with two or more units he will check with the city servant and discuss with him the over-all activity in the city and offer and receive any suggestions that may be helpful. If it appears needful for some good reason that another person be appointed as the city servant, the circuit servant will make recommendation to this effect. Full information should be given as to the reasons for the change, and also the qualifications of the recommended brother. SERVANTS AND THEIR DUTIES ® When a publisher is appointed to a position of servant, a special appointment letter will be sent to the company. This letter is to be retained as part of the company’s permanent file. The company servant, assistant company servant and Bible study servant will constitute the company committee. Their duties will include making recommendations to the Society for servants if % vacancy occurs or the need exists for another servant hetween visits of the circuit servant. No selfishness, personal favoritism or prejudice may enter into the performance of their duties. (Phil. 2:3; Jas.2:1-9) The assistant company servant and Bible study servant will work closely with the company servant, who will take full oversight of the committee and company services. *2 Tn recommending servants the committee will suggest to the Society two names for each position to be filled, setting out the full names, and noting first and second choice, along with the age, years in service, date of immersion, anointed or Jonadab, average hours, average hack-calls and average Bible studies during the previous six months, with the complete and specific reasons for recommending the change. Brethren recommended should have been baptized. The same information requested above should be supplied for those recommended as company book study conductors except that only one name need be submitted for each assignment. Ti a new
