Book excerpt: Excerpt from Minutes of the Ninety-Eighth Annual Sessions of the Synod of North Carolina, Held in the Second Presbyterian Church, Charlotte, N. C., Nov. 7-10, 1911: With an Appendix The report as a whole was adopted, which see in the Appendix. The following are the recommendations: In view of the growing prosperity and corresponding demands of the Church's work abroad, which can be met only by increasing contributions at home, four committees would recommend the following action: I. Synod learns with regret that some of our churches, which, by taking a separate every member canvass, had entered the Forward Move ment, are making the introduction of the Assembly's plan the occasion of dropping their foreign mission pledges already secured, and of report ing smaller pledges for Foreign Missions in the every-member canvass taken for all the causes together. Attention is called to the fact that the Assembly's new plan is a flexible one, leaving it optional with the churches whether they shall take one every-member canvass for all the causes, or one for the work at home and one for the work abroad (see Assembly's, Minutes, 1911, p. Synod would hereby urge all its Forward Movement churches to stand by the pledges already made to Foreign Missions, and to make these the starting point in any new canvass that may be taken; or at least to see to it that in any new every-member canvass, the amount pledged to Foreign Missions shall not be less than that pledged heretofore, but more if possible.
