braced in the synod seven contributed
10 home missions more than the amounts

speaker. Along the line OF improving the
cause the following resolution was uLani-
mously adopted by the synod:
Whereas the synod has heard, through
our secretaries of home and foreign mis-
sions, and others, of the church's great
need for more young men to give them
selves TO the ministry, and is profoundly
impressed with the need therefore be il
