TONS ADOPTED
By Ladies Aid So
ciety Of Presby-
terian Church
REGARDING MISSION SCHOOL
And Proposed Change of
Location---Copy Sent to
Boards Headquarters.

The Ladies' Aid Society of the
First Presbyterian Church has adopted
ringing resolutions on the matter of
the location of the school for boys by
the Board of Home Missions of the
Presbyterian Church of the United
States.
A copy of these resolutions has been
forwarded to the board. They were
as follows:
| Whereas, A large number Of charit-
able people were solicited by the board
of Home Missions of the Presbyterian
Church of the United States Of Amer-
ca to contribute, and on such solici.
tation did contribute, to said board a
considerable sum Of money for the
express purpose of erecting and main.
taining at Santa Fe, New Mexico,
mission school for boys, under the
charge and management of said board,
and,
Whereas, We are informed and be-
lieve that upon representations made
to the citizens Of Santa Fe by said
board, through Its agent, Rev. r. NJ
Craig, that site for such school
was necessary, said citizens selected
an ideal spot in said city as loca-
tion for the buildings for the use Of
said school, and rendered the same
to said board through its agent and
which said location was so satisfac-
tory to said agent, Rev. R. M. Craig.
that he then declared to the mayor
Of this city and other citizens that
there could be no better location for
the purpose aforesaid, and that he
would recommend its acceptance by
said board, which recommendation
we, from our personal knowledge of
the character OF said agent, feel war
ranted In assuming was fairly and hon
estly made to said board, and,
Ideal Location.
Whereas, BY reason Of said board
having successfully maintained for
many years past In said city like
mission school for girls, sail board
is fully and accurately informed Of the
accessibility to said city by three dis
tinct railway lines, an advantage not
possessed by any other locality In
New Mexico, and Is also lnforrlod of
the advantages possessed by any other
locality in New Mexico, and Is also in
formed of the advantages possessed
by Santa Fe In climate, pure water
and modern conveniences, all tending
to contribute to the we'll recognized
conditions which any location for the
proposed Mission School should pos
sess and which said board, in the per-
formance Of its duty as trustee of
charitable fund.- should earnestly seek,
and,
Whereas, We now learn that 1t is
the intention of said board to expend
the funds now in its hands for the
location of said school at some other
place than Santa Fe, In disregard of
the purpose for which said board sol-
cited said money, as we'll as In vio-
lation of representations made by said
board to the contributors Of said fund
and upon which said fund was con-
tributed.
Violation Of Obligations.
Therefore, be 1t resolved, That we,
the Woman's Aid Society of the First
Presbyterian Church of Santa Fe,
New Mexico, believe that the location
by said Board of the said Mission
School for Boys, aforesaid, at any other
place than the city of Santa Fe, New
Mexico, will be a direct and unwar
ranted violation Of the legal as we'll
as moral obligations Of said board as
trustee of the funds contributed by
the charitable for the purpose Of estab-
fishing and maintaining said school.
and that deliberate diverting OF
funds subscribed for the specific pur-
pose Of establishing and maintaining
of school at some other locality, will
be such plain and unmistakable de-
reelection Of the duty Of the board in
the premises that, IL carried out, 1t
will shock the moral sense Of all
right minded persons, especially when
the wrong doer is a Christian asso-
citation, and will greatly tend to lessen
the confidence Of the charitable In said
board in It's future solicitations for
other charitable purposes; and we.
therefore, earnestly express the hope
and belief that said board will expend
said funds for the purpose for which
said board received 1t, and for no other
purpose.
