were reported 70 bo in prosperous condition.
Complaint MA mAda that tho assessment of thla
district was too large. Tho amount being nearly
oqual to those in districts double tho aizo Of
this. Ms. Mondonhall oiFored resolution that
Committee Of Apportsonmont bo instructed to
confer With other Boards relative to the amount
this Conference eau raise. Ho thought that
tue Now York Dosrd ought not so po
trlsted to designate what surns should bu
rsised by this Conference for missions,
and this action would bo al advantage to the
Conference and % tho Board, becauso tho Con-
ference is best hb!a to judge wlat it can afford
to do aud tho Board can know the amounts to
depend ou. 4. aloripo thought tho preachers
did not do their duty, and that Northern Indiana
ia ablo to phy tho sum apportioncd. LIT. Miller
Thought they were able II they could bring tho
people up to gIying, but tho people think they
arc called upou to give too often. Oar money
han becu going Eastward until ne arc poor.
and tho baltimore Conference ia able to
pay two dollars to our one.
