The document discusses a broad fundraising push by Presbyterians and Methodists begun before Atlanta with goals of 5,000 missionaries, 2,500,000 converts, and 75 million dollars. Donors may pay in five yearly installments or lump sums, designate recipient institutions, and pledge freely with no donor restrictions. Missouri aims for three million dollars, split between subscription and regular funding, with philanthropic and educational use of one and a half million.
