"Anything whatsoever affecting the interests of the Cause
and in which the National Assembly as a body is involved
should, if regarded as unsatisfactory by Local Assemblies and
individual believers, be immediately referred to the National
Assembly itself. Neither the general body of the believers, nor
any Local Assembly, nor even the delegates to the annual Convention,
should be regarded as having any authority to entertain
appeals against the decision of the National Assembly. Should
the matter be referred to the Guardian it will be his duty to
consider it with the utmost care and to decide whether the
issues involved justify him to consider it in person, or to leave
it entirely to the discretion of the National Assembly.
