that increased funds are necessary. Furthermore, with the
changes that of late have taken place in church budgeting, it
is just as manifest to those cognizant with the situation that
organizations such as the National Reform Association must
resort to other than the holding of public meetings to obtain
these funds. Hence the new move of the Association to build
up a contributing constituency by the use of the mails. A list
of 11,000 people are now being thus periodically solicited from
the National Reform office with specially prepared literature
of an illustrated and somewhat dramatic character. Time alone
will of course tell the result of this enlarged effort, with its
new features.
We recommend:
1. That this Synod approve the employment of R. H.
Martin in the conduct of the work of this Association.
2. That the sum of $10,000, the same amount as asked for
last year, be named as a guide for the giving of our people the
coming year for the prosecution of the work of the Association.
Respectfully submitted, in behalf of the eleven Covenanter
members of the Board of Directors of the National Reform
Association.
