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.
