It noted progress in Sierra Leone and Eastern Africa, including a native church formation and Gospel spread among the Gallas, while China faced anti foreign sentiment and a published pamphlet condemning Christianity. Thirty four missionaries operated in Australia, New Zealand, Africa, Jamaica, and China serving 5269 members, up 225. The first resolution praised past blessings and urged steadfast faith in eventual Gospel triumph. A second resolution called for intensified prayer and better organization to widen support, especially among youth.
