Col. C. G. Hammond of Chicago, chair

Treats paper, made the following report:
RESOLUTIONS.
WHEREAS, We seem TO be shut up by the
providence of God to the necessity of in
creasing oui contributions to the \. b. G.
f. NJ, to the amount of. at least $500
900 for the coming year, or else To rCtrench-
ment and retreat in this great work and
WHEREAS, There cannot exist doubt in
any well-ntormed and DEVOTED christian
heart, that it is our imperative duty to g0
tor1oard to the very extent IF our means
therefore
Res0lced, That if the friends of the
board in the Congregational churches shall
come to and adhere to a standard of be-
ncvolcnt giving, such rs fidelity to Christ
demands, such as constitutes giving, the
richest means of grace, and surest test of
love to Him, this $4,000 in amount will
be reached and exceeded, while at the same
time the treasures Of all kindred societies
will be filled.
Res0lced, That we deem it of vital i'm
portance that all the ministers and other
| members of our churches should ascertain
and adopt this standard to the end that
| while God leaves to each individual the re-
| sponsibility af fixing the amount, the
standard of computation shall ever be that
which God will approve.
Resolsed, That in our opinion this stand
ard of benevolent giving requires, of not
few men, all their net income leaving only
the necessary capital or tools of
their profession. and of all, as stewards of
God, systematic, intelligent and consci-
entious setting apart of such potion as
full conservation to Him demands.
Rev. DR.. Stearns of Amherst college,
then offered prayer.
Col. Hammond them followed in an
earnest and forcible argument on the ques-
tlon of going forward in this matter on re-
trenchment. lie took the ground that no
such idea should be entertained as retrench-
ment. His remarks were often pointed
upon the subject and grounded upon the
highest principles of christian generosity.
Rev. DIR. Treat then moved that the reso-
lutions be adopted by the board.
Rev. DIR. N. G. Clark, of Boston, then
gave an interesting review of the question
with his usually fine argument and at
tractive delivery. lie wished TO correct
the idea that so much was not needed. We
have asked for men to go forward and God
has answered our prayers. Here before me
are the names of nine pastors who are to
| go out this present year; two from Mime
sofa, one from Wisconsin, two from New
Jersey, one from New York, one from
Connecticut, and one each from Mexico
and Wales. Shall telegraph John Fuller
in Wales to stay at home? Shall tell
brother Byington, from Newport, N. j.,
who was once Il beloved missionary, but
