part  of  all,  and  make  these  statements  only  to  direct  the  attention  of
all  to  the  necessity  of  being  co- workers  with  the  Diocesan  Society.  It  is
absolutely  necessity  to  put  this  society  upon  a  safe  basis;  and  whenever
the  promises  and  professions  made  at  the  meeting  of  the  Council  and  at
Delegates'  missionary  meetings  are  carried  out  in  good  faith  and  loyalty
to  the  Diocese,  this  great  want  will  be  supplied.
The  committee  therefore  propose,  for  the  consideration  of  the  Coun-
cil now  assembled  in  such  full  representation,  the  following  resolutions :.
Besolvcd^  1.  That  all  parish  ministers  be  earDesily  requested  to  take  up  every
year  at  least  one  regular  collection  in  behalf  of  the  Diocesan  Missionary  Society^
exclusive  of  the  collection  taken  up  for  this  object  by  the  Bishop  at  his  visitation.
Besolvedt  2.  That  every  missionary  of  the  society  shall  take  up  two  coUectiona
for  this  object  every  year  at  every  station  under  his  charge ;  and  in  the  report  he  ii-
directed  to  send  to  the  Executive  Committee  every  half  year  shall  state  the  fact  of
Buch  a  collection  and  the  amount  contributed.
Mesolved,  3.  That  the  resolution  passed  at  the  Convention  at  Frederickabarg,
requiring  the  coniribution  of  each  parish  at  fifty  cents  per  commanicant  as  its
minimum  be  again  recommonded  to  the  adoption  of  all  parishes.
Resolved,  4.  That  it  is  the  duty  of  the  Executive  Committee  to  publish  from
time  to  time,  either  in  the  Southern  Churchman,  or  in  occasional  missionary  pa-
pers, say  once  every  three  months,  an  official  statement  of  the  condition  of  the
society,  and  such  other  facts  as  may  be  of  interest  to  the  whole  Diocese,  and  keep
alive  the  interest  in  its  missions.
The  report  was  received,  and  its  recommendations  adopted.
