 present income is inadequate, the annual subscription to the Society, for the 

 year 1920 and after, shall be ten shillings, and the composition fee for life

 of Rule 4. Members elected prior to the passing of this resolution shall be 

 invited to strengthen the financial position of the Society by voluntary adopt-

 standing of any such member."' .
