CONSTITUTION.

ART. 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 and diffuse a knowledge of the Holy Scriptures in our own country and other countries which are destitute of them, or which present open and urgent fields of effort.

ART. III. Members of evangelical churches may be constituted members of this Association for life by the payment of thirty dollars into its treasury, 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. Other persons, by the payment of the same sum, may be made life members without the privilege of voting.

Every evangelical church which has within a year contributed to the funds of the Association and every State Conference or Association of such churches may appoint two delegates to the Annual Meeting of the Association; such delegates, duly attested by credentials, shall be members of the Association for the year for which they were thus appointed.

ART. IV. The Annual Meeting of the Association shall be held in the month of October or November, at such time and place as may be designated by the Association, or, in case of its failure to act, by the Executive Committee, by notice printed in the official publication of the Association for the preceding month.

ART. V. The officers of the Association shall be a President, five Vice-Presidents, a Corresponding Secretary or Secretaries, a Recording Secretary, a Treasurer, Auditors, and an Executive Committee of fifteen members, all of whom shall be elected by ballot.

At the first Annual Meeting after the adoption of this Constitution, five members of the Executive Committee shall be elected for the term of one year, five for two years and five for three years, and at each subsequent Annual Meeting, five members shall be elected for the full term of three years, and such others as shall be required to fill vacancies.

ART. VI. To the Executive Committee shall belong the collecting and disbursing of funds, the appointing, counseling, sustaining and dismissing of missionaries and agents, and the selection of missionary fields. They shall have authority to fill all vacancies in office occurring between the Annual Meetings; to apply to any Legislature for acts of incorporation, or conferring corporate powers; to make provision when necessary for disabled missionaries and for the widows and children of deceased missionaries, and in general to transact all such business as usually appertains to the Executive Committees of missionary and other benevolent societies. The acts of the Committee shall be subject to the revision of the Annual Meeting.

Five members of the Committee constitute a quorum for transacting business.

ART. VII. No person shall be made an officer of this Association who is not a member of some evangelical church.

ART. VIII. Missionary bodies and churches or individuals may appoint and sustain missionaries of their own, through the agency of the Executive Committee, on terms mutually agreed upon.

ART. IX. No amendment shall be made to this Constitution except by the vote of two-thirds of the members present at an Annual Meeting and voting, the amendment having been approved by the vote of a majority at the previous Annual Meeting.

SKIN HUMORS

CAN BE CURED BY

GLENN’S SULPHUR SOAP.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16, 1883.

_Mr. C. N. Crittenton_:

DEAR SIR: I wish to call your attention to the good your Sulphur Soap has done me. For nearly fourteen years I have been troubled with a skin humor resembling salt rheum. I have spent nearly a small fortune for doctors and medicine, but with only temporary relief. I commenced using your “Glenn’s Sulphur Soap” nearly two years ago—=used it in baths and as a toilet soap daily. My skin is now as clear as an infant’s, and no one would be able to tell that I ever had a skin complaint.= I would not be without the soap if it cost five times the amount. Yours respectfully,

M. H. MORRIS.

LICK HOUSE, San Francisco, Cal.

The above testimonial is indisputable evidence that Glenn’s Sulphur Soap will eliminate poisonous Skin Diseases WHEN ALL OTHER MEANS HAVE FAILED. To this fact thousands have testified; and that it will banish lesser afflictions, such as common PIMPLES, ERUPTIONS and SORES, and keep the skin clear and beautiful, is absolutely certain. For this reason ladies whose complexions have been improved by the use of this soap NOW MAKE IT A CONSTANT TOILET APPENDAGE. The genuine always bears the name of C. N. CRITTENTON, 115 Fulton street, New York, sole proprietor. For sale by all druggists or mailed to any address on receipt of 30 cents in stamps, or three cakes for 75 cents.

The World Electro Radiant Magic Lantern.

PATENTED. PERFECTION AT THE LOWEST PRICE.

$25

LANTERN

FOR

$12.

The body of the =ELECTRO RADIANT= is a cone-shaped reflector which gathers each divergent ray of light and concentrates them all on the main reflector, whence the whole mass of brilliancy illuminates and projects the picture with startling clearness. No combination of lenses, however ingenious, has ever been known to produce equal effects with the light used. The cost of an outfit to enable you to do =A PROFITABLE BUSINESS= is very small compared with the amount of money it takes to do any other business. Any one of ordinary intelligence can operate. =$10 to $50 per night may be earned= by giving Parlor, Sunday-School, Academy, or Public entertainments.

=As an Educator the Electro Radiant= surpasses almost every other apparatus used in a school. The attention of the scholar is concentrated on just the =one= illustration before him, and on no other, as in the dark nothing else can be seen and the mind of the student is forcibly attracted. =Masonic= and other =Lodges or Societies= will find the =Electro Radiant= a novel, useful, and profitable addition to their paraphernalia in illustrating their ritual or giving entertainments. =For public Entertainments= the possessor of an =Electro Radiant= has something that will “draw” with the combined power of the =Theatre=, the =Circus=, the =Prestidigitateur=, the =County Fair=, the =Temperance Crusade=, and the =Camp-Meeting=. A room that will hold 100 persons may be filled nightly and a good profit be cleared. Our photograph slides represent faithfully Beautiful Works of Art, Scriptural Scenes, Portraits of Prominent Persons, and Comic subjects that are a never-ending source of delight.
