‘76 Proceedings of Thirty-Fourth Regular Convention,

Apportionment of Home Mission Subsidies,

The unprinted overture on this matter read as follows: — a
“Under the present rules of Synod it is the business of the Fiscal:
Conference to apportion the synodical budget among the District, :
The Home Missions Conference, working independently, fixes the ”
Home Mission subsidies. There is such a close relation betw

ference apportion also the Home Missions subsidies,”

The committee reported as follows: “Your Committee would like
to refer to the decision of the Mission Conference to meet before
the meeting of the Fisca] Conference which -fixes the budget and to
be represented at the Fiscal] Conference,

“Since the apportioning of the Home Missions subsidies involves
such a study of detail and such intimate acquaintance with the rami
fications of the work, it would saddle the Fiscal Conference with
a tremendous burden to ask it to do this, and in the opinion of your
Committee this work may well be left in the hands of the annual
Mission Conference, Your Committee recommends that no change
be effected in this matter, believing that the Fisca] Conference should
honor the findings of the Mission Conference and make changes only
under pressure of the greatest necessity,”

Synod adopted this recommendation.
