The rents and profits to be derived from the estates and properties of
the Company shall be applied in the first instance in the development
of the land (e) and the physical intellectual moral social and
religious improvement of the residents thereon in such manner as the
Master shall from time to time direct or approve and the surplus rents
and profits if any shall be applied in reduction of the amount paid by

by a gradual remission of rent towards the close of the tenancy or in
such other way as may be thought best but in no case shall the
Companions personally derive any rents or profits from the property of
the Company.

share of his appointor in the property of the Company. (g)

calendar months after the date when notice of such resignation shall
