port, read report which recommended
that field seCre airy of Sunday school
work for the State be appointed as soon as
they are convinced that the funds neces-
sary to defray the expenses of the office
may be received without financial embar-
rassment to the Convention. The report
also recommended the appointment of a
committee to have charge of house to
house visitation. When the report was
opened to the pleasure of the delegates.
Mr.. Terry said he was of the opinion that
the latter recommendation was one on
which there should be some discussion.
Half Il dozen delegates thought every
member of the body was familiar with the
proposition and so strong was the senti-
ment against any further discussion of
the subject that the motion to amend was
Withdrawn by Mr.. Henry and the original
motion to adopt the report was put and
carried unanimously.
