REPORT OF THE STATE BOARD.
Elder R. Y. Henley. chairman ofthis Board
offered the following report:
"At our lust annual meeting we agreed tc
adopt the general PLAN In consequence o
the radical change about being made, and
the liabilities Of tine respective churches ano
district conventions as also the engagements
of our eyangeii>ts, it was impossible for youl
Board to adopt any measures which Woult
at once settle the various issues necessarily
arising from such transition state. Inc

curations Of tic different members OF TIC
Board prevented their meeting az often as
they should, and this, coupled with the
knowledge or the Beard that the plan could
not be successfully worked without further
consultation and more thorough co0pera.

them from attempting that which they knew
must necessarily be imperfect. We there

recommend aud Insist that we lay aside all
resolutions and committees mol in erncl har-
nonv with this genera! plan and ignore
our own preferences and prejudices, and

"Your Board ascertain that there arc in

We know of quite number OF churches not
heard from, consequently we are unable to
ascertain their numbers. Had all the
churches reported we believe cur numerical
strength in Virginia mot including W. Va.)
would approximate 14,G00 or 10000. In
consequence Of the financial pressure and
,be demands of the cause your Board Wou d
suggest the necessity Of expending nj the
contributions Of the churches III The adyo-
cacy of the cause within the limits OF our
