On motion, the order OF the day
viz: Ther report of the Committee on
"Preachers' Aid Society'-was taken
up. The committee reported a Con-
stitution and Code OF Laws for the gov
eminent of the Society, which, on
motion. was considered seriattm, and,
after needed corrections, adopted.
The object Of the Society is to provide
for the care OF the supernumerary and
superanuuated preachers, their widows
and orphans, under such regulations as
the constitution provides. As the doc
ument is quite lengthy, and as its pub
LEGATION would preclude notice OF much
other important matter, we omit the
constitution and bylaws. Those inter-
ested who desire to become familiar
with the provisions it contains, should
pstronize the printing committee, who
will doubtless publish it entire in the
regular proceedings.
