The lay delegates attending the meeting of the Synodical Con-
ference held a special meeting Friday noon and adopted the follow-
ing resolutions, which they requested to be read to the Synodical
Conference and spread upon the minutes: —

WHEREAS, The danger exists that we emphasize the fact of the
lack of funds in our treasury and of the present financial depression
in our country to such an extent that we thereby discourage the
opening of new fields; therefore be it

Resolved, That we lay delegates continue to lend our earnest
efforts to the better education of the members of our congregations
regarding the needs and blessings of our missionary work; and be it
further

Resolved, That we continue prayerfully and with energy to work
for a loving inculcation of the Biblical principles of Christian

more liberal financial support of, and more general participation of
our members in, the work of the kingdom of our Savior.

These resolutions were adopted by Conference by a rising vote.
