Sixt MEegrinNG, Sepr. 30.—The Committee on Resolutions
introduced the following :—
Whereas, The vast European field, the great work to be done, and the diffi-
culties to be met, demand more and experienced laborers; therefore—
1. Resolved, That we earnestly request the General Conference to send to
this field, and especially to the British field, Eld. 8. N. Haskell, whose long expe-
rience in the work; and especially in the British colonies the past year, will render
his services of great value to this field.
2. Resolved, That we request that Eld, E. W. Farnsworth be sent to this
country with Eld. Haskell.
3. JFesolved, That we request the General Conference to send one or two ex-
perienced lady Bible workers to work in connection with our colporters and Bible
workers in the British field.
Whereas, In order to better reach the great mass of the people in the British
Empire, our publications should. he adapted to that field, and printed in such a
form and at such a price as will insure their wider circulation; tberefore—
4. Resolved, That we recommend that all those publications which are prin-
cipally used in the United Kingdom, be revised and published in such a form that
they may be the more readily sold by colporters, and thus aid in making the work
self-sustaining. .
Whereas, The location of the publishing work in the small town of Grimsby
is attended with*many inconveniences, and is not calculated to give character and
permanence to the work ; therefore — -
5. Resolved, That as soon as expedient we recommend that the office be lo-
cated in London or vicinity, the great center of all general religious publishing
work in the British Empire.
6. Resolved, That tbis Council appoint a committee of five to investigate con-
cerning a proper location for the office, and report to the General Conference.
Whereas, The present size of the Present Truth is such that it affords too
limited space with too tine type for a proper variety of matter, aud is nut so sal-
able as a larger paper would be ; thierefore-— }
7. Resolved, That we recommend that the paper be increased to sixteen
pages, of the size of Les Signes des Temps, that a larger type be used in its compo-
sition, and that this change be made at the beginning of the next volume, Jan-
uary, 1887. :
Whereas, It has been demonstrated that dmong other means of warning our
fellow-men, tents can he successfully used in European countries ; therefore—
8. Resolved, That we express our gratitude to God for this means, and that
we recommend the use of tents wherever they seem to furnish the most successful
method of advancing the truth,
The above resolutions were quite fully discussed by the del-
egates, and adopted as the sentiment of the Council. It was
also voted that the Chair appoint the committee of five provided
for in the 6th resolution.

ful workers ; and— A }
Whereas, The holding of training-schools has been of service in the past in
