But when these motions are modified by some condition of _time, place,_ or _purpose,_ they become debatable, and subject to the rules of other motions; but debatable only in respect to the time, place, or purpose which brings them within the province of debate. A body is, however, competent, by a vote, to allow debate on all motions. _To Reconsider_ A motion to _reconsider_ a motion previously passed must be made by one who voted _for_ the motion when it passed. If the body votes to reconsider, then the motion or resolution being reconsidered, stands before them as previous to its passage, and may be discussed, adopted, or rejected. A vote to reconsider should be taken at the same session at which the vote reconsidered was passed, and when there are as many members present. _Be Discussed_ If, when a question is introduced, any member objects to its discussion, as foreign, profitless, or contentious, the moderator should at once put the question, _"Shall this motion be discussed?"_ If this question be decided in the negative, the subject must be dismissed. _Order of the Day_ The body may decide to take up some definite business at a specified time. That business therefore becomes the _order of the day,_ for that hour. When the time mentioned arrives, the chairman calls the business, or any member may demand it, with or without a vote: and all pending questions are postponed in consequence. _Point of Order_ Any member who believes that a speaker is out of order, or that discussion is proceeding improperly, may at any time _rise to a point of order._ He must distinctly state his question or objection, which the moderator will decide. _Privileges_ Questions relating to the _rights_ and _privileges_ of members are of primary importance, and, until disposed of, take precedence of all other business, and supersede all other motions, except that of adjournment. _Rule Suspended_ A rule of order may be _suspended_ by a vote of the body, to allow the transaction of business necessary, but which could not otherwise be done without a violation of such rule. _Filling Blanks_ Where different members are suggested for filling blanks, the _highest number, greatest distance,_ and _longest time_ are usually voted on first. _Adjournment_ 1. A simple motion _to adjourn_ is always in order, except while a member is speaking, or when taking a vote. It takes precedence of all other motions, and is not debatable. 2, In some deliberative bodies, a motion to adjourn is in order while a speaker has the floor, or a vote is being taken, the business to stand, on reassembling, precisely as when adjournment took place. 3. A body may adjourn to a specific time; but if no time be mentioned, the fixed, or usual time of meeting, is understood. If there be no fixed, or usual time of meeting, then an adjournment without date is equivalent to a dissolution. +CHAPTER VIII+ CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE
