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.
