collections in the various churches Of
the conference, yet this does not reduce
the principal to any extent whatever,
and does prevent any successful attempt
to secure endowment from the churches,
or any appeal for funds for special
needs or improvements.
IL the second mortgage is not paid, we
are convinced that the holders of the
bonds which it is given to secure will
force foreclosure on the same at the
April term Of the Superior Court Of Kent
county, and that the holders of the un-
funded debt will likewise institute legal
proceedings to protect their interests.
That the limit Of accommodation which
the First National Bank Of Dover is
willing to give us has been reached, and
in the present financial condition no loan
could reasonably be expected from any
other bank.
That reliable subscriptions aggregating
in amount about $4,000 have been secured
but none of said subscriptions are avail
able until pladges have been secured for
the entire amount.
The committee recommended that the
exigencies Of the situation be brought to
the attention of the conferences: "That
u final and successful effort be inaugur-
ated at the conference session for the
prompt payment of this debt for if it is
not paid we realize that the splendid
equipment and magnificent property,
werth more than double the indebted
ness, will be lost to the church, and the
academy, which has been built and
equipped by contributions from its
friends and our co-laborers, some Of
whom have gone to their reward, will
most assuredly be sacrificed, and per-
haps fall into the hands which will work
danger to our faith and church policy"
1.-The board of trustees, the presi-
dents report concluded, recommends
that the whole debt Of $35, 200 be appor-
toned among the several charges by
committee to be appointed by the con-
ference for that purpose and that an eff
fort be made to raise the money as soon
as possible"
