 aeem/jixpedient. It is reoommended to every Clergyman or Pariah to ■ 
 form a Parochial Missionary Association ; so as to secure* as far as prac- 
 ticable, systematic offerings by weekly, monthly, or quarterly subaorip- 
 tions ; to distribute mission boxes among Sunday-school children and 
 other suitable persons, iand to hold occasional meetings for the diffusion 
 of missionary intelligence and for stimulating missionary zeaL 
 
 3. Whereas In many Churches the collections enjoined by the Syn.od 
 do not represent the whole offertory of the particular Suuday, but only 
 "all in excess of the average collection;" and whereas this practice, 
 though much to be regretted, is perhaps unavoidable in many cases ; this 
 Synod, in view of the alarming deficit in the Mission Fund, would ear- 
 nestly impress upon the Clergy and Churchwardens generally the urgent 
 necessity that exists that the largest amount possible be collected and 
 remitted regularly, and would auggest that envelopes marked for various 
 collections be distributed in Church the Sunday previous to the collec- 
 tion 1)eing made, and that the congregations be urged to make a general 
 use thereof/ ^^ . : ._ - _^ . 
 
 4. The Mission Board shall make arrangements for the Annual Diocesan '^ . 
 Missionary meeting in connexion with the Synod. 
 
 6. The Archdeacons and Rural Deans shall be a Committee to make Arrange- 
 ■arrangements |or holding the Annual JIAissionary meetings in the several '"•"'* *<* ^ 
 Parishes of the Diocese ; and for providing suitable deputations to address 
 the same. Such committee to meet during the month of September in 
 each year, and the Venerable the Archdeacon of York to be the convener 
 thereof. 
 
 6. The Mission Board is authorized to have copies of the report of Repprt to be 
 the Mission Bo^ printed for distribution, together with such statistics printed- 
 
 as th^y deem djpsirable, subject to the sanction, as to printing, of the 
 Honorary Secretaries. 
 
 7. Together with the periodical no^e sent from the Synod 0£Sce, Information 
 the Mission Board shall, for the information of the Clergy, issue a brief to be sent 
 leaflet, signed by the Chairman, stating the number of Parishes and *""• 
 Missions needing assistance, and the amount required for such assistance ; 
 
 also as to new places where it would be advisable to open a Mission or -
