and its secretaries to continue in their aggressive efforts and to
lead courageously in all these mission endeavors affecting every
department of our work, such as the “Each One Reach One” pro-
gram, through the congregations, the Sunday schools, the parish
schools, and every organization within the congregations.

As to the magazine Today (Book of .Memorials, p.273) the
recommendation of Committee 2 was adopted:

The Committee on Missions recommends to the Centennial
Convention that the Board of Home Missions be commended for
its vision and initiative in providing a journal of practical mis-
sionary procedure in the magazine Today. The demand for this
magazine by pastors and teachers proves that there is a real need
for it, and we urge that the policy of the editor and Board be
continued and its original purpose be zealously maintained.

We recommend that the mailing list be expanded with the
magazine being sent free to all active pastors as designated by the
Board of Home Missions, and to all called male teachers as desig-
nated by the Board for Parish Education.

We recommend further that the cost be proportioned from the
treasuries of the Board for Home Missions and the Board for

Parish Education. ,
