Missionary Plans and Central Oversight Expanded

The Precential Committee would become jointly responsible for all mission measures both collectively and individually. A larger mission presence increases responsibility, but better selection of members eases the load on executive officers at home. One thousand two hundred preachers is not large for the extended fields. already over one twelfth of the target is on the ground. If each preacher is tasked with reaching 50 000 souls, the current supply covers 69 million of the hundreds of millions to evangelize. Central locations in Africa and Asia would be focal points, and thirty or forty seminaries could become radiant outposts guiding vast regions. Concluded next week.

The public faces numerous disclosures about nunneries and the integrity of their practices. The piece argues that regardless of individual truths, the concept of the convent remains an affront to decency, labeling the nunneries as a method to lure to sin and control women. It notes priestly power, calls the plan an outrage, and cites religious magazine statements. The item concludes with notice that Hon. Jeptha Hardin resigns as Judge, affecting about half the district’s fall term.
