At the General Meeting at Hundred-Mile Grove held, December 19 to 23, the following resolutions were passed.

Resolved, That in view of the great amount of good done by the circulation of the SIGNS, we pledge ourselves to renew our efforts to extend its circulation, by clubbing and otherwise.

Resolved, That we heartily approve of the tithing system as set forth in the pamphlet called "Systematic Benevolence, or the Bible Plan of Supporting the Ministry;" and that we recommend all our churches and scattered brethren to begin on the first day of January, 1879, to lay aside a tenth of their income and pay the same into the treasury at the beginning of each quarter, as therein set forth.

Whereas, our Sabbath-schools stand greatly in need of a singing book free from the theological errors of the present age, and whereas upon examination we find the "Song Anchor," published by J. E. White, to be such a book, therefore

Resolved, That we recommend our people to obtain this book to be used in our Sabbath-schools; also, that we recommend Bro. E. M. Crandall to visit Sabbath-schools, introduce the "Song Anchor," give instruction in singing, and labor for the good of the schools; also to canvass for our periodicals in the districts where he may be laboring.
