Society in the N. P. Conference has declined in interest, so that debts are accumulating in the districts on subscriptions to our different periodicals, which is a source of great discouragement to the work of the society, Therefore,
Resolved, That we, the officers and members of the society here assembled, do pledge ourselves to work unitedly to bring the society in this conference, between this and the next annual meeting, up to the advance pay system. 2. Resolved, That the Secretary prepare a report of this meeting for publication in SIGNS OF THE TIMES, and insert in it this resolution.
