PREACHERS AID SOCIETY.
a discussion regarding the report Of
the stewards of the Preachers Aid So
ciety then came up. DR.. Giffin made a
statement, in which he spoke strongly
of the great interest felt in this pro-
ject by Mr. William COnnell, and that
it is to be feared if no agent is en-
ployed that further subscriptions will
fall off. He urged greater effort to-
ward increasing the fund. A resolu-
tion was adopted expressing the ap-
probation of the conference for the
excellent work done by DR.. Van Cleft
| as agent, and it was finally decided
that he should continue to receive sub
scriptions during the coming year. The
following resolutions were adopted:
