COOPERATION OF DISTRICT ASSOCIATIONS AND
CHURCHES.
Rev. c. ii. Ryland, ID. d., submitted the
following:
The committee OF twenty-five, represent
ing all the district associations OF the State
except one, appointed TO inquire and report
what plans, if any, should be devised Tor
securing more active cooperation between
the churches and district associations OF the
State and this body, beg leave to report that
after such attention as they can give the
subject amid the pressing duties OF the Ses'
sions Of !tbe Association the following
seems to them feasible plan OF action for
the ensuing year, and calculated to effect at
least partial correction OF the indifference
and neglect OF many of the churches with
regard to the contributions TO missions and
the general work for Christ'S cause as con-
Quoted by this Association.
They trust, also, their suggestions VIII
have the effect Of bringing about closer CO.
operation between the General and DISTRICT
Associations, which is very necessary and
desirable.
We propose
|. That a circular.letter be written and
sent 10 every church in the State setting
forth the objects OF this Association. the
present lack of support on the part OF many
Of the churches, and the need OF reform IN
this direction.
III. That a committee OF at least two OF the
members of this Association be sent TO each
district association at its next session,
hearing fraternaI greetings, and the earnest
reonest of the General Association that they
will so far as possible conform their times
az meeting so as not to conflict with one an
other il it can be judiciously prevented, ana
especially that their plans OF work be SO ar
ranged as to support the efforts oil this or
III. That committee Of five brethren be
appointed by the President, whose duly II
shall be- .n,-
/. To prepare and distribute as promptly
az possible the circular-ietter herein named
2. To appoint the delegates TO the asso'
Citations. .. ,
