Twentieth_Century(i)
2 The Presiding-Officer should be a man of blameless character; a faithful husband; living a temperate, discreet, and well-ordered life; hospitable, and a skillful teacher,
3 not addicted to drink or brawling, but of a forbearing and peaceable disposition, and not a lover of money;
4 he should be a man who rules his own household well, and whose children are kept under control and are well-behaved.
5 If a man does not know how to rule his own household, how can he take charge of the Church of God?
6 The Presiding-Officer should not be a recent convert, that he may not be blinded by pride and fall under the same condemnation as the Devil.
7 He should also be well spoken of by outsiders, that he may not incur censure and so fall into the snares of the Devil.
8 So, too, Assistant-Officers should be serious and straightforward men, not given to taking much drink or to questionable money-making,
9 but men who hold the deep truths of the Faith and have a clear conscience.
