Constitution of T. & M. Society.
By H. A. St. John
I do not say that it is perfect; but it is certainly very excellent, and very comprehensive. It seems to embrace about our whole duty to a world lying in wickedness. I admire it. Reader, are you a member of the T. & M. Society? and do you inquire, “What is duty?” Allow me to briefly express what I conceive to be the duty of its members and officers. 1. DUTY OF PRESIDENT : To understand and support the Constitution. 2. DUTY OF VICE-PRESIDENT : To understand and support the Constitution.157 3. DUTY OF SECRETARY : To understand and support the Constitution. 4. DUTY OF TREASURER : To understand and support the Constitution. 5. DUTY OF DIRECTORS : To understand and support the Constitution. 6. DUTY OF LIBRARIANS : To understand and support the Constitution. 7. DUTY OF AGENTS : To understand and support the Constitution. 8. DUTY OF MEMBERS : To understand and support the Constitution. To understand is one thing, and to support is quite another thing. Both complied with, we shall be found at our post. What would we think of a man in a responsible place in our government, sworn to support the Constitution, who yet knew nothing about it, perhaps had never read it. Now if our duty is plain, I am sure we shall find the greatest need of divine grace, that we may have a heart to do it. Let us come up to the help of the Lord against the mighty. H. A. St. John.
