The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 27

Membership

Membership.

9. Members may be either Active or Passive.

10. The Active List consists of those who do not object to the publication of their names as Members of this Association.

11. An Active Member's duty is to send, as often as possible, reliable reports, to the President or Secretary, of Special Events, Sermons, Lectures, or Publications affecting Secular Progress. He should also aid in the circulation of Secular Literature, and generally in the Freethought propaganda of his neighborhood. Where a local Society exists, he ought to belong to it, whether or not it be a Branch of this Association.

12. The Passive List consists of those whose position does not permit the publication of their names, except at the risk of serious injury. The knowledge of these names is to be confined to the Executive, and the members will be referral to only by initials.

13. It is earnestly requested that persons in an independent position will enroll themselves only as Active Members.
