Be it resolved by this Convention, That a Commission of five brethren be constituted by this Convention to prepare “A Manual of Baptist Church Organization and Methods,” which may form a working basis for a uniform program of methods for our churches by which they may pattern their work in the hope of all getting together on similar lines of highest church efficiency and financial uniformity in denominational support.
RESOLVED, further, That the Sunday School Board of this Convention be requested by this Convention to publish this Manual, when prepared and approved by the commission, and the Sunday School Board, at the lowest possible cost, and that the purport of this resolution be printed on the first page of the Manual as a recommendation of it to our churches as being an effort on the part of this Convention to afford them a means to better methods in their local work, and by which to bring to our great, mutual denominational enterprises a uniform, systematic and adequate support for the year round by our churches.
