The following resolutions were adopted:—
Resolved, That we invite the Michigan Conference Committee to arrange the State into sections, and appoint such ministers as they think proper to accompany a director or directors to visit each church in said division, in order to more fully arouse our brethren in tract and missionary work.
Whereas, the utility of taking the SIGNS in clubs and remailing them to individuals, with correspondence, has proved a success in awakening an interest in many places, therefore,
Resolved, That we recommend each church society, and individuals living alone, to subscribe for a club of SIGNS, and pay for them on the monthly installment plan.
