IN the minutes of the Ill. and Wis. Conference, held at Johnstown Center, Wis., June, 1866, is the following:
Resolved, That we endorse the following resolution passed by the late General Conference, “That when a member takes a letter of commendation from a church, it is the judgment of this Conference that he remains a member of that church till he becomes a member of another; and that he should pay his Systematic Benevolence accordingly, giving due notice when he joins the church in another place.”
I wish to call the attention of those who have taken letters from the Johnstown church since that time. Probably not one has acted according to this resolution. “Better that thou shouldst not vow, than that thou shouldst vow and not pay.” Eccl. v, 5. Is not this a vow? A. B. WILLIAMS.
