MINORITY REPORT.

The Committee on Missions beg leave re-
spectfully to report in part, that, having had.in
consideration the first request in the resolution
of the Maryland Annual Conference, viz "for
this General Conference to review the rules re-
specting Home Missions and define explicit
ly their meaning" and having carefully exa-
mined said rules Tor this purpose,
We are convinced that while the 9Th section
Of the 10Th article ofthe constitution plainly re-
stricts the General Conference from the pas
sage of any rule " TO abolish an efficient tine-
rant ministry, or 10 authorize the Annual Con-
ferences TO station their ministers and preach
ers any longer than three years successfully in
the same circuit and two years successfully
in the same station )" the General Conference
is nevertheless empowered by the lst section
of the 9th article OF the constitution, to make
rules and regulations for the missionary depart
ment Of the church, without regard 10 said re-
striction, and that the provision made for
"Home Missions" by the General Conferences
of 1884 and 1888, as found on pagcs7l and 72
OF the discipline, is 10 be understood as autho-
rizng the Annual Conferences to create Home
Missions" and to appoint ministers or preach
ers without any other limitation than the Con
1erenccs themselves may Judge cxpedient.

u. WARD,

The further consideration of the reports was

MONDAY, MAY llih.


The committee to whom was referred the
New Jersey case reported in favor of recogniz
ing the New Jersey Conference as legally or.
gaDized, and in favor of annexing ii to the Ge-
neral Conference. Report received and adopt
ed.
Rev. S. NJ Short presented resolution, that
there should be rule inserted making it sinful
to buy and sell men, and moved to refer ii to
the Special Committee.
This resolution was discussed al some length
and finally laid on the table.
The majority OF the committee on Home
Missions reported, as also the minority, and the
reports were read:
MAJORITY REPORT.
The undersigned having maturely consider.
ed the request of the Maryland Annual Confe-
renee Ito review the rules Of Home Missions
and define explicitly their meaning" beg leave
10 make respectfully the following report. We
deeply regret that we cannot agree IN opinion
with the remaining members of the committee
on Missions.
1t is the Judgment of the undersigned that
the meaning of the Home Mission Rule page
II Discipline, passed at the General Confer
ence of 1884, and amended at the General
Conference of 1888, is as follows, viz: A re
guation whereby an Annual Conference may
raise societies Tor the purpose of forming Cir
cults and Stations in any unoccupied portions
of it's ,xhot
which it may designate as fields of labor, and
for no other purpose whatever.
We are also Of the opinion that the Rule on
Home Missions is not defined with sufficient
clearness to harmonic the views of all persons
in It's Interpretation, and therefore respectfully
recommend TO the Conference to amend the
rule so that it shall read as follows
HOME MISSIONARIES.
Each Annual Conference shall have autho
rty to appoint ministers and preachers to serv'
an Home Missionaries in such unoccupied por
lions of its territory, whether city, town, o
country as it may designate as their fields o
labor, and also to change such ministers
shall be the duty of each home missionary Il
travel and preach the Gospel in such parts o
the district as his conference may direct ant
raise societies-he shall take collections for hi
own support in societies and neighborhood
wnere he may labor, and shall be entitled TO
proportionate part of the funds Of the Annua
Conference raised for missionary purposes Z
make up his deficiencies II shall be The dut
Of each missionary to appear at the Annua
Conference of his district, and may be accom-
panied by layman appointed by the soclet,
CT societies to make such communication TO tn
conference as may be deemed necessary, ant
report the number and condition Of the socle
ties he may have raised.
