Article II. — Of Membership

Article II.

Of Membership.

Sec. 1. All applications for membership in this Lodge must be accompanied with a fee of 5s., and, except for honorary membership, must also be accompanied by a certificate from some legally qualified medical practitioner, certifying to the general good health of the applicant; and must otherwise be in accordance with the requirements of Articles II. and III. of the Constitution, and must be disposed of as therein specified.

Sec. 2. Should an applicant be rejected, the fee shall at once be returned to him, and the brother who proposed him shall be appointed to inform him of his rejection, without disclosing any other circumstances in the proceedings of the Lodge. Should an applicant be elected, and fail to come forward for initiation within three months thereafter, the fee shall be forfeited to the Lodge, and such election shall be null and void, unless a reasonable excuse be given; but he may, at any time, present a new petition, which must take the usual course.

Sec. 3. Every person, upon being admitted a member of this Lodge, shall sign the Constitution and Bye-Laws, and thereby agree to support and abide by the same, and to pay all legal demands promptly as they may become due. He shall also inform the Secretary of his place of residence, and should he change it, shall immediately give notice to the Secretary of such change.
