RESOLUTION
In view of the universality and of the
finality of t he Gospel of God, and of the
Spiritual needs of mankind. we believe
that the church of our generation should
undertake to obey literally the com-
mand of Christ to preach the Ctnepel
to every living creature.
Aceording to our several ability and
opportunity, we believe as laytnett of
the rhurrhC3, we art: equally' respon-
sible with the ordained ministers to
pray .and work for the extension of the
Gospel so that the many Divine bles-
sings welch wo enjoy ratty M given to
our fellow c•rcaturen in every part of
the world.
