Rev Mr.. YOUNG thought there was one way to meet
the deficiency and hi appealed TO the nscences OF the
convention whether they would resort IN That mode
was to rec ucc the allowance to to starvation
that the rich Church Of Eastern New York would adopt
such measures The only effect OF this must be
for good The appointment Of agent 60 among the

Mr. TBAcKARA said he felt deeply interested in the
great missionary work which this church should support
It surprised him that this teicency should again

Missionaries and faithful ministers Of the church should
be sent there to do the hst lies them That
work lies not among the foreign population among

that proposition.
