More Agents for Great Britain
THE following resolution will explain itself, and will indicate to some degree the feelings of the brethren in England with regard to the action of the Mission Board in sending canvassing agents to that country:— Whereas, Various conferences in America have contributed materially to the work in this field, by sending to us some of their best canvassers, paying their fare over, so that the cause here has had the benefit of their labors, with no expense whatever,— We, as a conference, esteem it a privilege hereby to express our appreciation of the help thus rendered, and to tender our sincere and hearty thanks to our brethren in America for their Christian sympathy and generosity toward the work in Great Britain. And further,— In view of the promising field for canvassing in Great Britain, and the fact that our present force of laborers, although efficient, is swallowed up in the vast population, there being ample room for ten times as many workers as we now have, we know of no more practical way of showing our appreciation of the kindness shown us by the Mission Board and the brethren in America, than to ask, as we hereby do, that they will select and send to us at least ten canvassers as good as those we now have, if such can be found, on the same generous terms as the party first sent over.
