THE FORTY-SECOND ANNUAL MEETING

OF THE

AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION

WILL BE HELD AT

PROVIDENCE, R.I., OCT. 23-25.

Rev. Arthur Little, D.D., of Chicago, will preach the sermon.

The Meeting will be held in the Union Congregational Church, of

which Rev. J. Hall McIlvaine, D.D., is Pastor. The friends in

Providence have already begun preparations for the reception of the

Association.

Life Members and Delegates chosen by contributing churches, Local

Conferences, and State Associations, constitute the Annual Meeting,

as will be seen by the following article of the Constitution.

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.

So far as possible, the Providence churches will entertain those

who attend. Those purposing to be present and wishing entertainment

are requested to write to Rev. J. Hall McIlvaine, D.D., Providence,

R.I., Chairman of the Committee of Entertainment.

Special rates will be arranged at hotels for those who desire to

pay their own way. Railroad and steamboat favors will be secured as

far as possible, and notices of reductions and other matters will

appear later in this Magazine and in the religious press.
