involving the same amount of labor, and the percentage of expenses is the lowest, being only three per cent., the Board submits a series of facts to show the inexpediency and injustice of such a restriction, and would most respectfully, yet most earnestly, ask the Assembly to remove the limitation, and deal with it as with the other Boards of the Church.

Since the relative importance and amount of work committed to this Board has greatly changed, and in view of the demands for an immediate enlargement of its work, both evangelistic and educational, the Board would call the attention of the Assembly to the need of a readjustment of the proportionate percentage of the collections of the churches to be assigned to the several Boards.

In view of these statements, your Committee would respectfully recommend:

First. That the restriction placed upon this Board by the last Assembly be removed, and that the Board be recommended to exercise a wise discretion in seeing that its affairs are administered in as economical a manner as the business of the same will allow.

Second. That the attention of the Standing Committees of the Presbyteries be called to the urgent need of larger and more general contributions to this cause from all the churches, and that they use their best endeavors to have this cause brought before the churches which have heretofore failed to make contributions to the same.

and

The term of service of the following members of the Board expires with this Assembly: Ministers, D. S. Kennedy, E. P. Cowan, D. D., H. T. McClelland, D. D., Elder W. B. Negley. We recommend that the four persons whose terms now expire be re-appointed for the term of three years, that H. G. Stephenson be appointed to fill the place of Mr. T. A. Park in the class of '91, resigned, and that Mr. E. A. Kitzmiller be appointed in the place of Chas. Hubbard in the class of '92, resigned.
