cannot help us. We are confident this needs only to be understood, for
we cannot believe that the 457,584 members of our churches have any wish
to shelter themselves behind Daniel Hand.

PRIVILEGES OF LIFE MEMBERSHIP.

The question is sometimes asked in letters we receive, What are the
privileges of a Life Member in the A.M.A.? We answer:

1. The privilege of voting at the Annual Meeting. Our amended
constitution says: "Members of evangelical churches may be constituted
members of this Association for life by the payment of $30 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."

2. A Life Member is entitled to THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY and to the
ANNUAL REPORT gratuitously, if desired.

3. The highest privilege is that of being a _live_ member, doing all
that he can to promote the interests of the Association and of the needy
peoples for whom it labors.
