helped to take some ot the burden off of our slaff, and gave some
surcease from the strain under which our nurse had worked for some
months. Though the doctor may !lee a hard time with his patients,
we couldn't exchange him f or a better one, When the doctor returned
to the fi eld, he was able to bring a substantial amount of equipm nt
supplies and medic'nes WhlCh had been llonattlo by friends at home:
He also aul to announce t hat friends at home h d rai edIund

V\ orsbill:
I. Ve presume our pastors have been influenced natw'ally
by the teaching of OUI' missional'ies but in any event,
they feel that the Gospel of Chnst 1S.0 complete and
all satisfying they clo not wish Lo incorporate into our
worship, what elements of truth which may be
found in their religion so intimately bound up with
witchcraft and super'tiUon.
ll. We recommend that emphasis be laid upon the necessity
of Bible reading and continued effort to put; the Bi
Edu
ble int.o the hands of the people.
III. We want to continue both in Lhe homeland and on the
field to press 101 R ligiolls freedom.
IV. We submit to no compromise \ hatevel' with
V. We rejoice in th.. fact ihat Central Conferellce has re
. pared for us a fJiscipline and RitL1al which is a.
dapted to our African People.
VI. We fnvurtbe prepa!'ation of "Aids to Devotion", that are
thoroughly in harmony with the evangelical trulhs
of the Bible and of our Church and thaI. are
to the needs of the African peuple.
VII. We propose that as Iar as possible, in the African
we encouragp. the de.velopment of music in thp.il'

IV. We urge investigation of the matter of cooperation with
the Government in sending out Christian young men
to out.villages to serve as aides in fostering hygiene
and in the village life.
Education:
1. We endorse the ,'ecommendations of the Committee on

If, 'Ve greatl) favo participation in higher education with
olher Missions nndel' t.he direction of the C.P.C, as rec
commended in article 17 of the Westerville l'Pporl. Alsu
we urge participation in the Union Theological 'eh 01
at Old Umtali.
111. Wf! sugge't that one of our misliionnries, Mr. Aj'l'es, be
to spend at least part time in agricultural
inslruction. Also r(lalizing that the African peapl > are
essentinUy agricli itural people. and seeing the great
poverty which gnaw., at their very ('xistel1ce, w urgent
ly request the Board of Mi sians and Church E. tension
to send to the Ii Tel as as pos. ible, an agricultural
missionary to help to 11 heln to a. high r level of
livin#! through increaserJ I"d)m ot agricultural melh
ad... Such n worker, while being a miSSionary in the
full en. e 1lf con;;ecration we f, el should have such
agricultllral training as woull fithim for this primitive
country,
IV. We request the r -turn to the field, ifnnd Whl n
of Rey. J. H. Maw, who will be able to give instrurLion
ill me 'h- nita! work. fn th c\,pnt it is impo>lsjble to
retul'n Mr. Maw, we requ(': l another worker in his place,

and help to builu a more adequtlte cUlTiculum for ou
girls and wompn. We ::hnll welcome them to our ranKs
and pray that their coming will be abIes 'iug to our
AteteIa girls.
VII. We recommend that the Normal School students have
3 years of 'las8wol'k with 80m practice teaching ill the
second and third and that one entire year of
practice teaching(4th y{'ar)be given, gmnling that
during that year regular hours with th" Elupervisor, he

that the Normal S -hool diploma be given upon the
completion of the rom th year which is the year of pJ'ac

In t.he worNs (.>1' one of our Native pastors. who
en'ed on our committee: All these prQgres-ive l' commendali(lfls are
