last general conference commission was appointed
to go into the matter and submit a report on the
subject for the consideration of the general con-
ference of 1904 The report of this commission mas
lust been completed. The commission proposes
union of the home mission work now done by the
missionary society with the Board of Church tx
tension and to leave to the missionary society for
eign missionary work exclusively. Having done
this II proposes to consolidate into one all the
really educational societies.
Among the recommendations in the report are
the following:
The several benevolent societies of the church
shall be consolidated into three, under the foIlo"-
ing corporate names: ,. , 49,
