S. D. BARTLE, Chairman,
A. A BROOKS, Secretary.

   We believe that if we but use the best methods in the Sunday School, such as graded lessons, organized classes, and teachers' training, and emphasize missions, temperance, and Sabbath observance today, we can tomorrow throttle the saloon, clean up the Sabbath, and conquer the world for Christ.
   We therefore recommend these methods to your serious attention.

   We rejoice in the splendid work of our church temperance society under the able and successful leadership of Dr. Clarence True Wilson.
    We urge every charge to raise the full amount asked for this society.
   We urge that our Sunday schools organize into temperance societies as provided by the discipline, that temperance Sundays be observed with appropriate exercises and that a campaign of pledge signing be carried on as far as possible.
   We listened with profit and pleasure to the addresses of Rev. Harry G. McCain, extension secretary of our church society, and H. F. Carson, superintendent of the Nebraska Anti- Saloon League.
   We rejoice in the great progress made in the last few months, and that the day is dawning when there will not be a legalized saloon on American soil.
   We rejoice that the Anti-Saloon League of America, of which our own Bishop Wilson is president, is about to inaugurate a campaign for national prohibition.
   We commend the work of the Anti-Saloon League in our state and pledge our hearty co-operation to it in the campaign it is inaugurating which will end in state-wide prohibition.
   We recommend for trustees of the Anti-Saloon League of Nebraska: H. H. Millard, John Grant Shick, Mrs, C. C. White, U. G. Brown, M. B. Carman and Allen Chamberlain.

G. M. BING, Chairman.
F. A. HIGH, Secretary.

   The Board of Trustees of the Nebraska Wesleyan University shall be constituted as follows: Six members shall be elected by the Northwest Nebraska Conference from within its boundaries, eighteen members by the consolidated Nebraska Conference from within its boundaries, four members by the Alumni Association of this University and nine members at large to be selected by the Board of Trustees of the University. Said board shall have perpetual succession and shall hold the property of this University for and in behalf of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Nebraska and to be devoted to the purposes of education and not for the primary benefit of said trustees or their successors. The members of the present Board of Trustees shall hold their respective offices during the period for which they were elected. The members to be elected by each conference and at large by the trustees shall be elected one-third annually and hold their office for a

period of three years. Those to be elected by the Alumni Association shall be elected one member annually and hold for a term of four years.

   We recommend that hereafter the work done by these two committees be done by one committee to be known as the Committee on on Education.
   The Board of Education.--The scope of the work done by the Board of Education under recent legislation is rapidly enlarging. The Children's Day Loan Fund aids 2,000 students yearly, a most worthy work is carried on among the mountaineers of the south; and in addition the Board is striving to help our colleges and secondary schools to meet their increasing burdens. Dr. Nicholson, Secretary of the Board, is endeavoring to carry out a great educational program. His presence, inspiration, and helpfulness in our local educational problem are gratefully acknowledgd (sic).
   Theological Seminaries.---A trained ministry is essential to a winning church. We recommend our Theological Seminaries, Drew, Boston, Garrett and Iliff as educational institutions that are true to modern educational ideals and that conserve vital piety. We warn our young preachers that the increasing difficulties in the ministry make the best preparation of the utmost importance.
   Nebraska Wesleyan University.--We declare our loyalty to the cause of Christian education and our belief that it is fundamental to the building of the Kingdom. We believe that the success of the Nebraska Wesleyan University in a large way is essential to the progress of all the enterprises of our church in the state. We declare our continued and hearty co-operation with this worthy institution. We endorse the plan to endow the Chancellor's chair by the Epworth Leagues of the state and will help to carry it out.
   We believe the campaign for $400,000 launched in January, 1912, should be continued until the whole amount has been secured.
   In view of various embarrassments to the work of the current year, we ask the District Superintendents to apportion to the charges a sum equivalent to fifty cents a member for the conference sustentation fund, and pledge ourselves to use utmost endeavor to raise this amount in full on every charge. To this end, designate the last Sunday in October, 1913 as the day when this collection shall be taken simultaneously in all the charges, and ask that as much of the money as possible be collected and forwarded to the Treasurer of the University so that interest charges may be reduced. In case the day set is not acceptable to individual churches, a succeeding Sunday before Thanksgiving is designated.

   We also suggest that all amounts received in excess to $15,000 be applied on the reduction of the present indebtedness.
   We request the election of a conference Board of Education in accordance with praragraph (sic) 448 of the Discipline. This Board shall cooperate with the pastors in the endeavor to raise the Conference University Collection in full and also with Dr. Schreckengast and the University authorities in the prosecution of the work of securing larger amounts toward the completion of the $400,000 fund.
   Children's Day.--We wish to emphasize the importance of Children's Day and urge that it be observed in accordance with the Discipline, that the people may be informed of the needs and use of the Children's Day Fund, and the collection be set apart for the same.
   We desire to express our high appreciation of the educational and inspirational value of the addresses of Dr. H. F. Rall and the generous way he is giving his life energies for a richer ministry for the middle west.

   Visitors:

COMMITTEE.

   Resolved, that the society at Murphy, Nebraska, be permitted to move the church building known as Wesley Chapel, on the Phillips charge, to Murphy, to be used as a Methodist Episcopal Church according to the discipline of said church. If this is not done the building shall be sold according to the discipline. Provided, however, that the claim of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension on the property where now situated shall be transferred to the real estate on which said church shall be placed, and shall be duly secured by mortgage given thereon by the Board of Trustees of said Murphy society.

   Believing that many of the great principles for which we con tend in civic righteousness and moral reform will be enhanced by the ballot in the hands of women, and believing this step to be in accord with the ideals of a true democracy and an act of human justice, we do hereby endorse the campaign now on in Nebraska for woman suffrage
