The Covenant of Service
The Covenant of Service
eloquently expressing Exchange philosophy and ideals, was written in
1923 by Thomas L. Bailey, who later became governor of' Mississippi
and national president of Exchange. It first appeared in the July
1923 issue of The EXCHANGITE Magazine, but was not officially
adopted until 1927. Mr. Bailey was a frequent contributor to the
early issues of the national magazine, producing stirring and
heartfelt challenges to his fellow members to consider the cause of
Exchange, support its aims and ideals and help the organization
grow. One of only three men ever to serve two terms as national
president, he was elected in 1925 and again in 1926. He was a
charter member of the Exchange Club of Meridian, Miss. (1921), and a
prominent attorney. He rose to be speaker in the Mississippi House
of Representatives and became governor of the state in 1944. He was
serving in that office when he died in 1946. |
