X. That an Annual Meeting of the Members of the Society be held in the month of November, on such day as may be fixed by the General Committee; when the proceedings of the foregoing year shall be reported, the accounts presented, and the Officers and Committee chosen.
XI. That the Secretaries shall call a Special General Meeting on the requisition of not less than twenty Subscribing Members; that such requisition be in writing, and specify the object for which the meeting is to be summoned; and that not less than seven days’ notice be given, by circular, to the Subscribing Members of the Society.
XII. That none of the Rules of the Society be repealed or altered, nor any new ones adopted, but at the Annual Meeting, or at a Special General Meeting called for that purpose.
XIII. That all Meetings of the Society be opened with prayer, and closed with benediction.
XIV. That it be earnestly recommended to all the members of this Society to make its important objects and plans a subject of special and frequent prayer, both in private and in the family.
N.B. 1. Contributions in aid of the Institute will be thankfully received by any of the officers.
2. As the pecuniary qualification for Membership has been fixed at the low rate of 5s., and as every Subscribing Member receives, in the form of publications, considerably more than an equivalent for that sum, it is obvious that the Society can only be maintained by the liberality of such as can afford to contribute more largely to its Funds.
3. All the publications of the Institute may be purchased at Mr. Jackson’s, Bookseller and Publisher, Islington Green.
4. Parties contemplating the formation of similar Societies in any part of the country, are cordially invited to correspond with the officers of the Institute, who will also be thankful for any authentic information and friendly communication from Societies already in existence.
