* * * * *
Constitution of the American Missionary Association.
INCORPORATED JANUARY 30, 1848.
* * * * *
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 and other countries which are destitute of
them, or which present open and urgent fields of effort.
ART. III. Any person of evangelical sentiments,[A] who professes faith
in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is not a slaveholder, or in the practice
of other immoralities, and who contributes to the funds, may become a
member of the Society; and by the payment of thirty dollars, a life
member; provided that children and others who have not professed their
faith may be constituted life members without the privilege of voting.
ART. IV. This Society shall meet annually, in the month of September,
October or November, for the election of officers and the transaction
of other business, at such time and place as shall be designated by the
Executive Committee.
ART. V. The annual meeting shall be constituted of the regular
officers and members of the Society at the time of such meeting, and
of delegates from churches, local missionary societies, and other
co-operating bodies, each body being entitled to one representative.
ART. VI. The officers of the Society shall be a President,
Vice-Presidents, a Recording Secretary, Corresponding Secretaries,
Treasurer, two Auditors, and an Executive Committee of not less than
twelve, of which the Corresponding Secretaries shall be advisory, and
the Treasurer ex-officio, members.
ART. VII. To the Executive Committee shall belong the collecting and
disbursing of funds; the appointing, counselling, sustaining and
dismissing (for just and sufficient reasons) missionaries and agents;
the selection of missionary fields; and, in general, the transaction of
all such business as usually appertains to the executive committees of
missionary and other benevolent societies; the Committee to exercise no
ecclesiastical jurisdiction over the missionaries; and its doings to
be subject always to the revision of the annual meeting, which shall,
by a reference mutually chosen, always entertain the complaints of any
aggrieved agent or missionary; and the decision of such reference shall
be final.
The Executive Committee shall have authority to fill all vacancies
occurring among the officers between the regular annual meetings;
to apply, if they see fit, to any State Legislature for acts of
incorporation; to fix the compensation, where any is given, of all
officers, agents, missionaries, or others in the employment of the
Society; to make provision, if any, for disabled missionaries, and
for the widows and children of such as are deceased; and to call, in
all parts of the country, at their discretion, special and general
conventions of the friends of missions, with a view to the diffusion of
the missionary spirit, and the general and vigorous promotion of the
missionary work.
Five members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum for transacting
business.
ART. VIII. This society, in collecting funds, in appointing officers,
agents and missionaries, and in selecting fields of labor, and
conducting the missionary work, will endeavor particularly to
discountenance slavery, by refusing to receive the known fruits of
unrequited labor, or to welcome to its employment those who hold their
fellow-beings as slaves.
ART. IX. 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. X. No amendment shall be made to this Constitution without the
concurrence of two-thirds of the members present at a regular annual
meeting; nor unless the proposed amendment has been submitted to
a previous meeting, or to the Executive Committee in season to be
published by them (as it shall be their duty to do, if so submitted) in
the regular official notifications of the meeting.
FOOTNOTE:
[A] By evangelical sentiments, we understand, among others, a belief
in the guilty and lost condition of all men without a Saviour; the
Supreme Deity, Incarnation and Atoning Sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the
only Saviour of the world; the necessity of regeneration by the Holy
Spirit, repentance, faith and holy obedience in order to salvation; the
immortality of the soul; and the retributions of the judgment in the
eternal punishment of the wicked, and salvation of the righteous.

AIM AND WORK.
To preach the Gospel to the poor. It originated in a sympathy with the
almost friendless slaves. Since Emancipation it has devoted its main
efforts to preparing the FREEDMEN for their duties as citizens and
Christians in America and as missionaries in Africa. As closely related
to this, it seeks to benefit the caste-persecuted CHINESE in America,
and to co-operate with the Government in its humane and Christian
policy towards the INDIANS. It has also a mission in AFRICA.

WANTS.
1. A steady INCREASE of regular income to keep pace with the growing
work. This increase can only be reached by _regular_ and _larger_
contributions from the churches—the feeble as well as the strong.
2. ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS for our higher educational institutions, to
accommodate the increasing numbers of students; MEETING HOUSES for the
new churches we are organizing; MORE MINISTERS, cultured and pious, for
these churches.
3. HELP FOR YOUNG MEN, to be educated as ministers here and
missionaries to Africa—a pressing want.
Before sending boxes, always correspond with the nearest A. M. A.
office, as below:

MAGAZINE.
This Magazine will be sent, gratuitously, if desired, to the
Missionaries of the Association; to Life Members; to all clergymen who
take up collections for the Association; to Superintendents of Sabbath
Schools; to College Libraries; to Theological Seminaries; to Societies
of Inquiry on Missions; and to every donor who does not prefer to
take it as a subscriber, and contributes in a year not less than five
dollars.
Those who wish to remember the AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION in their
last Will and Testament, are earnestly requested to use the following
FORM OF A BEQUEST.
“I BEQUEATH to my executor (or executors) the sum of —— dollars in
trust, to pay the same in —— days after my decease to the person who,
when the same is payable, shall act as Treasurer of the ‘American
Missionary Association’ of New York City, to be applied, under the
direction of the Executive Committee of the Association, to its
charitable uses and purposes.”
The will should be attested by three witnesses [in some States three
are required—in other States only two], who should write against their
names, their places of residence [if in cities, their street and
number]. The following form of attestation will answer for every State
in the Union: “Signed, sealed, published and declared by the said [A.
B.] as his last Will and Testament, in presence of us, who, at the
request of the said A. B., and in his presence, and in the presence of
each other, have hereunto subscribed our names as witnesses.” In some
States it is required that the Will should be made at least two months
before the death of the testator.

THE CONGREGATIONALIST FOR 1881.
The publishers of THE CONGREGATIONALIST have never been better prepared
to make an entertaining and instructive paper for the family than now.
Our contributors embrace such names as
Prof. AUSTIN PHELPS, D. D., ROSE TERRY COOKE,
Rev. J. T. DURYEA, D. D., SUSAN COOLIDGE,
President S. C. BARTLETT, MARION HARLAND,
Rev. L. W. BACON, D. D., Rev. THEO. L. CUYLER, D. D.,
Rev. WASHINGTON GLADDEN, Rev. W. F. CRAFTS,
GEO. E. WARING, Jr., Rev. GEO. LEON WALKER, D. D.,
Mr. C. C. COFFIN, RAY PALMER,
JULIA C. R. DORR,
And many others who have attained a national reputation.
“HOW AND WHAT TO READ”
Is a topic on which we print several articles this year from Rev.
WASHINGTON GLADDEN, and other well-known writers.
“WITHOUT A HOME”
Is the name of a story by Rev. E. P. ROE, running through the columns
of THE CONGREGATIONALIST nine or ten months this season. More than
200,000 copies of Mr. Roe’s books have been sold, a fact which
indicates the great demand there is for them.
Our Sabbath-school Department for 1881 is under the charge of the
Rev. A. F. SCHAUFFLER, of New York, who is known as one of the most
suggestive writers and thinkers on this subject in the country.
Our Children’s Department is sustained by such writers as Mr. C. C.
COFFIN, ERNEST INGERSOLL (on Natural History), W. J. ROLFE, CLARA
ERSKINE CLEMENT, and others equally eminent, and it will be found
entertaining and instructive to all, both to young and old.
A series of twelve articles or more, running through our columns this
year, entitled
“GREAT SUBJECTS,”
And from the pens of some of the most eminent thinkers in the land, is
destined to attract wide attention. Among the writers are Ex-President
WOOLSEY, Gen. J. R. HAWLEY, Hon. DORMAN B. EATON, BENJAMIN VAUGHAN
ABBOTT, Dr. GEO. M. BEARD and Rev. NOAH PORTER, D. D. The large space
of four columns a week, on an average, is devoted to our “Literary
Department.” It is gotten up wholly in the interest of our readers, and
we receive frequent testimonies to its value.
With seven persons on our regular editorial staff, including Rev. A.
H. CLAPP, D. D., in New York, who, besides other matter, furnishes
a letter every week, the reader will find THE CONGREGATIONALIST in
all its departments fully abreast of the times. It touches subjects
of current interest to the religious public every week, not only by
its editorial articles, but by a great amount of paragraphs and short
matter such as all are glad to read. We offer no premiums, but are now
expending upon the columns of the paper itself what otherwise might be
required for that purpose. The amount of money paid out sometimes in a
single week to writers for THE CONGREGATIONALIST now exceeds the sum
expended in this way for six months or a year a quarter of a century
ago.
Specimen numbers sent free. Price, $3.00 a year.
