<strong>Synod</strong> reconvened at 2:00 p. m., was called to order<br />
by the Moderator, opened with a verse <strong>of</strong> Psalm, and led<br />

Dr. H. H. Bell, General Secretary <strong>of</strong> the Winona Lake<br />
Association, brought the greetings <strong>of</strong> the Association and<br />
extended a hearty welcome to the <strong>Synod</strong>, to which the Moderator<br />
suitably responded.<br />
The report <strong>of</strong> the Mission Conference was submitted<br />
by the Secretary, M. K. Carson, adopted item by item and<br />
as a whole, and is as follows:<br />
REPORT OF THE MISSION CONFERENCE.<br />
The Mission Conference <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Reformed</strong> <strong>Presbyterian</strong><br />
Church met in the Westminster Hotel, Winona Lake, Ind., June<br />
5th, <strong>1928</strong>, at 7:30 p. m., and was called to order by F. M. Foster,<br />
who opened the meeting with prayer. The Conference<br />
elected F. M. Foster chairman, M. K. Carson secretary, and<br />
A. A. Wylie assistant secretary.<br />
In reference to the memorial <strong>of</strong> increasing the pastors'<br />
salary three hundred dollars more than the minimum, which<br />
was referred to us from last <strong>Synod</strong>, (<strong>Minutes</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Synod</strong>, 1927,<br />
pages 104 and 144), the Conference deems it unwise to urge<br />
any increase <strong>of</strong> ministers' salary at the present time.<br />
Altogether provision has been made for twenty-seven congregations.<br />
This is three less than last year. The Selma congregation<br />
is included in the list <strong>of</strong> those receiving appropriations<br />
this year. It is worthy <strong>of</strong> note that the Portland congregation<br />
did not ask for any share in the appropriations. No<br />
appropriation was granted to Ray. Union and North Union<br />
in Pittsburgh Presbytery and Washington and Rehoboth in the<br />
Iowa Presbytery were united.<br />
The following appropriations were made:<br />
Central Canada—<br />
Delburne—$900 on condition they raise $500.
