It’s interesting that the missionary fund can also be used to aid the families of serving missionaries.
HP Quorum Presidents and 10s Quorum Presidents, perhaps being surprising for todays readers. But to be honest I don’t think I understand what rule 7 is doing. Who is paying the interest to whom?
J., I’m guessing that is money advanced by the Society to missionaries as loans to finance their missions, to be repaid with interest. I’ve seen evidence in some records that missionaries, especially older married ones, did borrow money in order to be able to serve.
Gary, I suppose that’s a mark of how common it was for missionaries in that generation to leave wives, children, and perhaps dependent mothers at home, isn’t it? Such a different world!
This just shows presentist I am. I was thinking only of the missionary’s parents.
Hugh B. Brown had been called as the president of the Lethbridge Stake in 1921, and he moved to Utah in 1927, so I presume that he was still in that position in 1924 when this society was organized. The rules look a bit as if a lawyer accustomed to writing by-laws had had a part in writing them. For that matter, I’m surprised they weren’t called “By-Laws.”
