yorable to the substance and all eS-
sontials of the plan proposed by

following reasons:
The commissioners Of the NJ. r.
church. South, make their accept
ancc Of the plan conditional in sew
eral particulars, and in view OF
these conditions which are imposed
by the restrictions which oui
brethren of the Methodist churcf
are IN Ter obligation to observe, and

rresslve efforts for thee further de
velopment of the institution ALREADY
in active operation, "" consider
that, while ready tor the cooper
ative movement as soon as oui
