'As a practical expression Of the
value of this conference, we COM
mend the action taken providing for
a recommendation to the Presbyter-
ian denomination that a definite eff
/ fort be made TO increase the number
Of enrolled members of the Fellow
ship of Stewardship TO 10000 and
that the churches in the area Of the
conference be urged to endeavor this
year to enroll those willing to give
at least a tenth of a net income, a
number that will equal at least 10
per cent. of the mem bership which
accomplished. would produce $4,000
Of the national quota of 100000 as
recommended.
I'VE would remind ourselves that
accepting our lives and possessions
at Gods hand as stewards for him,
does not imply any check upon our
liberty; it rather invites us to Him
and to Christ our Savior in their
divine spirit of sacrifice and service
and in the true joy of existence.
Remember the admonition, "All
things are yours and We are Christ's
and Christ is Gods.
