Tho Church of God ought to insist every whore that it'is a duty to sustain the ^?BrKigWof jdic Lord and not a charity. ?'pn ^""tributibhs made to this cause are not gifts, but the^/iueht of delJts we owe to tho Highest Power, especially in the Methodist Church, when be it remembered, that the Ministry hnve Voluntarily surrendered the right to fix their.salaries, It becomes not only a religious t duty, but a debt of honor for a Methodist to ^ tpajy hiB preacher. no-.*We recoinincnd for the more efficient action ;ifrlh|> future, that the Stewards meet in the :beginning uf tho ye; , make n liberal allow ance for the support of the ministers, and di this amount among the different Churches. ???/Then we rocomtuend thnt euch Church bittet n ;' Committee who shall assess every member ac cording to their ability. Whenever it is prac ticable let the Stewards elect one of their body to visit the Churches and set forth to them the claims of the ministry and urge the people to ralfy"to their support. H o are sorry to report so large a deficiency ?? at this timo iu our District. The various as sessments amount to $0.000, of this amount only $2,159,42 have been collected, leaving to 'ftb* raised $0.840,58. As tho time is now short. jf&ly two monthsand a hulf to Conference, it is evident the most vigorous efforts must be made. ^'ipr'OW pastors will suffer. Jjct every charge .' And every man und woman come up to the '^elp.of tho Stewards in this work. V" We recommend that the 1\ E. prepare and send to the different charges a minute report of J the prcscu.t condition of our finances. ?.|il,t?M it. W.

Like other branches of this great saving system it has its difficulties, and some of thcin are peculiar to us When devastating armies over-ran" our couri'try. and occupied our Churches, they scattered our Sunday School books away far and wide, and in sonic cases even took the pulpit books away from their cushions, and having desolated our fields it has left many of our Schools destitute of'booKs. There has been such a want of teachers as to some extent to damage our Suudny-Sehool cause. To reform the old ami hardened sin ner?to break the yoke of sinful bondage which has been fastened on thu neck of the old four scores of years?)' to' ''force- in the heads and hearts of those who have entertained ignorance and superstition, knowledge and the love of God, duty to Him might indeed be discour aging; but to find a backwardness in teaching, guiding, leading dear young precious children in the sweetness;and simplicity of childhood is a fault v. e ought not to lind in any who believe our doctrines, or who look teilte future' with interest; - > There have been ?some cases where there have been men and women ready to teach but the attendance of children could not be secured. Parents did not feel tfcAtfthjy/ireeded the-help of the Church to';4ran: up their children in the nurture hfi'd adtfioTiitirin iiif the LoVd." They admitted 1 hat they, the parents, needed the Church by joining it; but their children did not. llevcrsing the order of nature, sending the old to (seh,oo). for the Church ia Christ' School on earth, and letting the children go without., f j f/'oi !T High waters to cross in a sparsely settled country gives such discouragement as your cniinnitti.cvutost regard as insuperable. The cold of winter; is easily met by the cheapness id* the stove and boundless breadth cd' our forest harvest of lire wood. 1'ojur committee would suggest' that there are reasons which have sprung up around us which should make Methodism pause before she suffers these or any other 'embarrassments to stop her in Sun day school activities. Her aggressive action must tunt.toithc steady duties of the Sunday school to find asttCCCSS which she once found in the thousands of unconverted out in the broad world; but by the power which Methodism it self hac put forth amongst the churches, there is now found but few families not under some denominational influence. So that if .Metho dism is to live in the future it must live in the hearts and profcssiouB of these.children who must bear our names when we lie in the dust, and on the fields of missionary labors where Methodism is attacking the strongholds of Satan in heath end- in. That our church may be true to her children and "the heathen in his blindness" is.ouly to wish und pray that she may continue to be a church of our Lord and Saviour .Jesus Christ. We offer the following resolutions : AVW/v//. That we are glad that the faith and action uur church con templates in reference to children agree. J?(.lrtfi, That wo contend earnestly for the prosperity and success of our efforts in outward action, as for the inward "faith once delivered to the Saints."-that our Sunday schools maybe a prhjso in ?II the churches. j. jt. pjckkt; Chairman.
