recommend the continuance of the assessment as last year. (3) That we [accept] the apportionment of

center within our Conference, such as Shenandoah Institute affords. (6) That the
commendable work done in the past we heartily appreciate and will pray God that it
may continue. (7) That we will endeavor to induce young men and woman, within
and without the church on our charges, to enter the Institute at the earliest
