CHAPTER XLVII.

FOUNDERS DAY

Be it resolved, first, That we set apart the Sunday nearest the sixteenth of September each year, as Founder's Day, to be observed in the Sunday-schools, Epworth Leagues, and by the Pastors and Congregations throughout the Connection.

Second, That programs be arranged and suitable services held in every charge throughout the connection. In every service effort should be directed to acquaint the public with the history of our Church, and to inspire the youth with its hope and prospects of the future.

Third, That the collections raised in the Sunday Schools and Epworth Leagues, shall be used for suffering churches in populous centers—as Kansas City, Savannah, Ga., Miles Memorial, Jacksonville, Fa., Israel Metropolitan and Berkeley, Cal.

Fourth, That the money from the Leagues and Sunday Schools shall be sent to the Book Agent, subject to the Bishop of the district, and reported by him at the mid-winter meeting. It shall then be subjected to the Publishing Board to be applied to the churches above listed in proportions to the amount due on each and its importance to the Connection.
