Missionaries.

Several of our efficient ministers go out as missionaries. They must be sustained. The friends of the cause where they may labor will esteem it a pleasure to do liberally, yet we can hardly expect that all their traveling and home expenses will be met by the liberalities of these scattered friends.

In accordance with sections one and two of article five of the Constitution of General Conference, we recommend that one thousand dollars be immediately raised.

"Art. 5. Sec. 1. It shall be the duty of the Executive Committee to take the general supervision of all ministerial labor, and see that the same is properly distributed; and they shall take the special supervision of all missionary labor, and as a missionary board shall have the power to decide where such labor is needed, and who shall go as missionaries to perform the same.

"Sec. 2. Means for missionary operations may be received by donation from State Conferences, churches, or individuals; and the Committee are authorized to call for means when needed."

Here is a good object for benevolence for those who are not satisfied with giving only what the highest figures of systematic benevolence calls for, and for S. D. funds not pledged to other objects. Money is easily raised now. Immediate responses to this call are desirable. For convenience, address Eld. James White.
