Of Cards.
Sec. 1. Withdrawal Cards may be granted to members
who are cleat of the books according to law, by a majority vote, by ballot, of the members present entitled to vote when application is made for the same. Should the Lodge refuse to grant the card as above, the applicant, on tendering a written resignation of membership and paying all dues, shall be entitled to receive from the Secretary a certificate under seal of the Lodge to that effect; and such certificate shall be sufficient evidence of good standing at the time of such resignation.

and the dues must be paid up to the time for which the card is to be granted.

Sec. 3. Withdrawal Cards may be recalled, for good cause,
by the Lodge within one year from the time such cards were granted, provided the same have not already been deposited in some other Lodge; but such action shall not have the effect of revoking such cards, or expelling the holders thereof from the Order, but will bring them back into the Lodge; when, after due notice of the charges which induced the Lodge to

recall such cards, the holders, after a fair and impartial trial, may be expelled or acquitted.
