the plan for raising an endowment
for Trinity College, which was
adopted as follows, viz:
r L A N Fni: RAISING F.SDoWM E N T '
FUND FOR TKIN1TY Ct'I.LF.itE.
The committee appointed by the
Board of Trustees, at a called
meeting held in Kdeigh. . C.
under mt i m tian of our lat annual
conference see couf. min. p. 3-i
beg leave to .submit the billowing
plan for raiding an Endowment
Fund for Ti. aity College: ,
1. Your committee believe tli.it
an Endowment Fund o! at least .
one hundred thousand dollars
e100,000) should b' raised as soon '
as possible, and that such an En
dowment is essential to the proper .
growth and the largest prosperity j
and usefulness of the College, as
well as to the proper development
and growth of Methodist Chris
nanny m North Carolina. ,
2. In order, therefore, to secure!
this Endowment Fund, we most
earnestly recommend that a direct
and persistent appeal be. made, pub
licly and privately, to all our people
in every pastoral charge so as to
reach all our churches and Sunday
schools within the bounds of the
entire conference, in order to raise
at least one hundred thousand dol
lars (1100,000) in cash if possible, or
in cash and notes payable in ln-
8taiimentg 0f one an(i two years,
and.that this public canvass begin
the Krst of June, 1S3., and be con
tinned until this matter shall have
been effectively brought before all
onr people. And that each Pre
siding Elder and pastor shall labor
to bring to the front, in this united
effort to endow Trinity College, as
many of our laymen as possible, in
order to interest and arouse all our
people to proper effort in hehalt of
this great work: proviLl, every
body shall De at liberty to give
b fore the irst of June, to this object
as much as they please.
.;. In order to facilitate the ac
complishment of this important
object, a sufficient number of
printed notes shall be sent to each
Presiding Elder and pastor to be
used by such of our brethren and
friends as may uot have the ready
cash to pay down the amounts they
are willing to donate to this En
dowment Fund.
4. All the cash raised shall be
sent forward as speedily as possi
ble to .Tas. A. Gray, Esq., Winston,
N. C Treasurer ot the Endowment
Fund, who shall receipt for the
same and also deposit, or invest
said amounts of motley, as he shall
be diree'ed by the Hoard of Trustee-:
and all notes taken shall also
be 'laced in the bands of the treas
urer of the Endowment Fund tor
safe keeping, and for collection as
thev fall due.
. The treasurer ot the Endow
ment Fuud shall pay over annually
to the treasnrer of the faculty of
Trinity College the interest which
may accrue on the Endowment
Fund, taking his receipt lor the
same, which interest shall be ap
plied exclu.-ivtdy to the payment
ot the curreir expenses ot Uu Col
lege. o. 1 ae Endowment 1 and shall
be forever held by the Hoard of
Trustees ot t he College and by their
.-ucces-ors in office and by the i. di
cers of the I'.oard and their slieee
sors in office, and by the Faea'.t.s
of Trinity College, and by the
Conference now owning, or the
( Miitereiice or Conferences which
may own, said College, acrtd an I
ineiol'itt , and never be applied a- a
whole, or iu any of its parts, to any
object or use whatsoever, but the
one and aoic' jiurpoxe for which it
w.is intended by its contributors.
7. In order to secure the Endow
ment Fund ami the annual pay
ment of the interest the treasuier
of the Endowment Fuud shall cxe
cute and deliver into the bauds ot
the Board of Trustees of the Col
lege, and in favor of the College, a
bond with good, solvent and ap
proved security, for such sum as

lege would be bctttr able to meet
the growing demands ol the age in
which we live, and to march lot -

achievement of a grander destiny.
This amount can and must be raised
as soon as possible ; and the nicrl
I ill. til o,'"'f .unnotiis in iijc

fereuce can raise the amount in 07ie
month, if they will. The Method
ists of North Carolina can raise
this amount fortius object and (eel
richer in christian grace and man .
hood, becau.-e they do it. Vout
committee have presented a jdan
for raiting the Endowment. Tins
plan promptly, energetically and
persistently woiked, will succeed.
In the absence of faithful and per
sistent effort, the most perfect plan
is worthless, anil worthless because
no plan irtll icm ': ii:lf. Will the
great .Methodist chinch in North
Carolina turn pile with te.;r as it

way way to raise this Endowment
is to raise it. Oar people can. and
we believe they will raise the
amount asked lor, if onr Presiding
Elders and Pastors will faithfully
persistently operate the plan sub
mitted by the committee. What
we desire, is, a united and har
monious effect all over our Con
ference l-a long pull, a strong pull
and a pull altogether."
The College needs the Endow-.
ment and must have
it. The
Methodist chnrch in North Caro
lina needs the College and the best
work such an endowment will en
able it to perform. The best
interests of our church and State
need the intluencc and power ol
such christian education as Trinity
College propel ly endowed al'nu can
give. Now, shall we. like men ot
God, come up to the work with one ,
mind and heart , and promptly place
Trinity College in the iiotit rank
of educational institutions in the
laud ? t )r shall we ignobly fold our
arms in idleness, ami thus bring
shame upon ourselves and disgrace
and iuin upon the cause which we .
represent ! Shall the next genera
tion use up and bless our meneny
because we know our duty and did
it grandly in the fear of God and
for the good of mankind.' alay
God inspire every Methodist in
North Carolina with faith, hope
and courage to come up to this
work with a glad he.nt and per
form his or her duty as a tine lover
of Christian education, should!
Then the woik will be speedily ac
complished, l.vt the rich give
tbeir thousands and thus glorify
God and Mess mankind with their
substance and show that they ate
luilhliil stewards of the manifold
grace of God. Let those who are
not rich give their hundreds, and
the poor their smallei sums as God
enables them to do. and God will
bless them and make them a bl, -s

difficult task of securing the W.Af

After the Board had heard and

The meeting was called to order by
C. E. Foy. Esq.. and Dr. E. W. Ward
was called to the chair.
Mr. C. E. Foy was called npon to ex-
plain the object of the meeting which
he proceeded to do by reading the act
of the General Assembly incorporating
the Eaat Carolina Land and Railway
Company.
After tne reading Mr. f rank Jroy re
quested the re-reading of section 22 of
eue original act in reierence io BUD-
scriptions by towns and townships.
Washington Bryan moved that H. R.
Nunn be made Secretary.
T. A. Green moved to amend by elec
ting two secretaries and suggested D. I.
Roberts.
The motion as amended was adopted.
The list of incorporators was called
and the chair declared a quorum pres
ent and the meeting ready for business
Mr. C. E. Foy said that he thought
the first thing to do was to subscribe
310.000 to the capital stock and to show
his faith in the project he would take
one-tenth of that amount.
The chair declared the books open for
subscriptions.
While the subscriptions were being
taken, Mr. John Pearce arose and stated
that he and others of Jones county were
bitterly (Opposed to the town and town
ship subscription clauses of the charter
and if there is no way of getting rid of
those clauses they would withdraw from
the meeting and leave it without a
quorum.
Mr. T. A. Green said he understood
the clause to mean that fhe townships
could not subscribe without the consent
of the people.
Mr. H. C. Foscue said he understood
the clause to mean that the commis
sioners could fix the amoupt, but would
like to know if they could say that no
subscription could be made.
Mr. Simmons explained the clause as
he understood it and thought there was
sufficient protection to the people of the
townships in regard to voting subscrip
tions. The matter was further disousaed
without any definite conclusions.
The chair announced that the requi
site amount of stock bad been sub
scribed. Mr. C. E. Foy moved that the stock
holders go into the election of directors.
Clement Manly, Esq., moved that the
