The poor have the gospel preached to them, sinners are being converted, and the king dom of Christ is being extended. These things have ever ' been the glory of pur connectional Method ism. Your committee regard it as the solemn duty of the church, second to none other, to push forward its Do mestic Mission work and thus help to counteract that influx of evill that threatens in this day to desecrate our character as a christain nation. We most earestly advise against the hasty divisions of large circuits necessitating as it often does an in creased number of appropriations! hence decreasing the salary of the already poorly paid individual mis sionary. Finally we urge the necessitv of bringing the snbject of Domestic Missions prominently before the membership of every church, that they may thereby be led to give as liberally and intelligently to this canse as they do that of Foreign Missions.
