DIR. Harris then addressed the Cen
ference at some. length. He. gave
succinct and graphic account OF the
operations of the Society and Of Its
present necessities. He stated the
wonderful manner IN which the in
come Of the Society was enlarged dur
ing the War of the Rebellion, con
trary to all expectation, and how its
expenditures had been increased
since the war by opening up new
fields of labor IN the South. The
Board Of Missions were new In debt,
and it was evident that one Of two
things had to be done. Either the
Board must curtail its work or the
Churches increase their donations.
DR.. Harris then made an eloquent
appeal to the Churches to adopt the
latter policy and increase their. sub
scriptions. The hearty amens Ia re-
Spouse to his appeal demonstrated
that the Ministers fully sympathiZed
in his desire for inorshsed subsorip
tons. FsfsxeT5 hf digs
