Resolved, That, as for many years
no legaoies or special gifts have come
into the possession of the Board oil
Stewards, and as the needs of the board
are greater every year, We again urge
every pastor, in his pulpit and by
private effort, to arouse an interest on
the part of those OF his membership
who have means to remember this great
cause in the making of their wills.
Resolved, That, in view of the fact
that the conference has pledged itself
to pay off the debt of the Conference

to recommend the paying this year by
the members of the conference the
percentages of salaries agreed upon by
conference action last year.
