The following scheme OF suStentation.
presented by the Rev. w. +. Baker. was.
after full discussion, adopted by the Pres

under the direction OF the PrcSbytery for
the whole OF his time shall have his salary
supplemented from the Home Mission
funds, 30 that it shall amount to not less
than 500, and $50 for a manse, il needed.
.. That the Presbyiery shall control the
labor Tor which it thus furnishes support,
so far as existing contracts permit
3. That a copy Of this scheme be
sent to every church, or group OF
churches. paving less than 500, request
ing such church or group OF churches
10 report TO the Committee OF Domestic
Missions before the LIST Of November Of
the salary promised TO 500. GU Whether
it will surrender the time OF the pastor
for which the Presbytery furnishes sup
port. Also that a copy be sent to each
separate appointment OF every minister re-
ceiyng aid, after fair trial Of the minis
ter's services, TO see whit the people will
do toward the support of the minister and
other work OF our Church. leaving it to
