RESOLVED, 1st, That in the evangelization of our own country, in the consecration to Christ of the spiritual power of its fifty millions of people, and in the subordination of the forces inherent in its vast material and industrial resources to the work of the Lord, is to be found the prime factor in the world’s conversion.
RESOLVED, 2nd, That this result can be attained only by so broadening the sphere of Christian activity as to include proper attention to all the wants of man, both for this life and that which is to come; by the disciple, like his Divine Master, embracing every opportunity to do good to the bodies as well as the souls of men.
RESOLVED, 3rd, That the accomplishment of so grand a work requires only that measure of energy and that expenditure of means demanded by our obligation to our Saviour and by the spirit of our holy religion.
