THE PROPOSED CONSTITUTION.

ARTICLE I. This Society shall be called “THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION.”

ART. II. The object of this Association shall be to conduct Christian missionary and educational operations.

ART. III. Members may be constituted for life by the payment of fifty dollars into the treasury of the Association, with the written declaration, at the time or times of payment, that the sum is to be applied to constitute a designated person a Life member; and such membership shall begin sixty days after the payment shall have been completed.

Churches, which have within a year contributed to the funds of the Association, and State Associations or Conferences of Churches, may appoint delegates to the Annual Meeting of the Association, each of such Churches and Associations or Conferences to be entitled to two delegates; such delegates, duly attested by credentials, shall be members of the Association for the year for which they were thus appointed.

ART. IV. Members shall be entitled to vote by ballot in the election of President, five Vice-Presidents, the Board of Directors, and on Amendments to the Constitution; and they shall be entitled to be present at all meetings of the Board of Directors, and to take part in the proceedings, but not to vote.

ART. V. The Annual Meeting of the Association and of the Board of Directors shall be held in the month of October or November, at such time and place as may be designated by the Executive Committee.

ART. VI. The Board of Directors shall consist of fifty persons, of whom fifteen shall constitute a quorum. They shall be chosen by ballot, the votes of absent members being receivable under such safeguards as may be prescribed in the By-Laws of the Association. At the first election of this Board, ten persons shall be elected for the term of one year, and a like number for terms of two, three, four, and five years respectively; and each year thereafter ten persons shall be elected for the full term of five years, and such others as may be needed to fill vacancies.

If any Director shall fail to attend two annual meetings in succession, and to report the reason for such non-attendance, his place on the Board shall be regarded as vacant.

ART. VII. The Board of Directors shall elect Secretaries of the Association, Treasurer, Auditors, and an Executive Committee of fifteen members, shall ordain By-Laws, and in general shall direct and control the operations of the Association.

ART. VIII. The powers and functions of the several officers shall be prescribed in the By-Laws.

ART. IX. No person shall be made a Director or officer of this Association who is not a member of some evangelical church.

ART. X. Missionary bodies, churches, or individuals agreeing to the principles of this society, and wishing to appoint and sustain missionaries of their own, shall be entitled to do so through the agency of the Executive Committee, on terms mutually agreed upon.

ART. XI. Proposals for the amendment of this Constitution, sustained by the signatures of not less than fifty members of the Association, shall be published for not less than three months in the official periodicals of the Association, and shall thereafter be submitted to the vote of the members, by ballot, at the annual meeting, under such conditions as shall be prescribed in the By-Laws; and if the proposed amendment shall be sustained by two-thirds of the ballots cast, it shall be declared adopted.

REMINISCENCES OF ORIEL COLLEGE AND THE OXFORD MOVEMENT.

BY T. MOZLEY, formerly Fellow of Oriel. 2 vols. Crown 8vo. $3.

The Oxford movement was not only one of the most important in the religious history of England, but so many famous men were conspicuous in it that it had a remarkable personal, as well as historic interest. Newman, Pusey, Keble, and many other notable men figure in Mr. Mozley’s engaging “Reminiscences,” which are full of anecdotes and recollections that will be read with nearly as great zest in America as in England. Mr. Mozley was for years one of the leading writers on the London _Times_ and his book is crowded with interesting facts and glimpses of interesting people.

_Edited by CHAS. F. DEEMS, D.D., LL. D., Pastor of the Church of the Strangers, New York._

50 volumes. 16mo. $29.00.

“The fifty volumes contained in this Library have been procured at much expense, and selected from a great number of manuscripts. They have been submitted to my inspection, and each volume has been examined.

“There is not a sentence in any of these books to which any Christian patriot can reasonably object, whatever may be his denominational attachments, his political affiliations, or his sectional residence.

“Taken as a whole, the Library may safely be commended to families and Sunday Schools in any part of the whole country, and in any part of the church universal, as containing nothing but good books, many of which are very superior to the average of this class of literature. I believe that I am serving the cause of the Master in aiding in the circulation of these excellent volumes.”

CHARLES F. DEEMS, _Pastor of the Church of the Strangers_.
