Report of Committee.

We the undersigned committee, chosen by the Conference now being held in Rochester, N. Y., to consider the subject of issuing Tracts on the present truth, and also the manner of sustaining the Advent Review, submit the following report:

That whereas the Tracts heretofore issued from the Review Office have gone out gratuitously, sustained mostly by large donations from a few individual brethren who have been anxious to spread the truth to all who were willing to receive it; and as this work, in the providence of God, is rapidly extending and widening throughout the wide field, we consider that this work would advance much more for the glory of God and his cause by an equalization of the burden of the means among the friends of the cause.

We, therefore, recommend to the traveling brethren, agents and all who wish Tracts for circulation, that they purchase them of Bro. White at first cost, that thus the Tract fund may be kept good.

Respecting the Review, we further consider that the cause now demands that it should be sent out to the scattered flock weekly, and that all the friends of the cause should aid in this work, according to their ability to do so, that the burden of the expense may not fall on the few.
