REPORT on CENTENNIAL INTERESTS.
Your Committee on Centennial Inter
ests, would submit the following report !:
WHEREAS, In the providence of God,
it has been our good fortune to have
our existence in this world, and in this
the Church of our choice, at the period
of the termination of the first hundred
years of her existence; and
WHEREAS, The history of this Church
has been signalized through all the past
by most unmistakable demonstrations Oh
the divine presence, in the success t-at
has characterized all her efforts from her
infancy, under the fostering care of its
founders and their successors down TO
the present; therefore,
/ ResOIred, That we deem it TO be
our highest. as well as most pleasant du-
ty and privilege, to express TO our kind
and beneficent Heavenly Father, a trib
ute of gratitude corresponding, as near
" as may be, to the numerous blessings
that we, as a Church, have, under God,
enjoyed throughout all these years.
2. ResOlCed, That while other church

Gods own time, He has seen fit to vim
dicate His own justice, and the right
eousness of our legislation on this ques-
ton: until now. in this regard. our prin-
cinIes are endorsed by the legislative
enactments Of this great nation, and ap-
proved by the universal sanction OF all
truly civil and Christian powers of earth.
That we attribute our success in the
various reforms of the past and present,
Gncluding the temperance, the anti
slavery and other reforms) to the fact
that our legislation on these questions
has been prohibitory, that by guarding
the very portals against any eneroach-
ments into our communion and fellow
ship by unworthy and designing persons.
We would recommend, in view of
the financial crisis that to a great extent
interferes with our desired success in
our centenary collections, that these ef-
