State Missions last year shall, through their
representatives, pledge themselves to take
up collections for this object in their churches
within the next two months at the latest.
Ten churches pledged themselves for this
| object. -
Rev. Z. b. Evans regarded this as the most
| important business ever before this body
| since his connection with it. He felt that

Board, though they had literally contributed
