Missions and Supplies-Report No., 2. Your committee having received information that the group consisting of Gallatin, Dry Fork, and Portland have held a meeting of their joint sessions and unanimously agreed to employ Rev. H. L. Walker, that Brother Walker give two Sabbaths each to Gallatin and Dry Fork, and the fifth Sabbaths and whatever pastoral work he may be able to give to Portland. But Gallatin is behind in its finances with its former pastor, and is not ready to enter the arrangement until this matter shall be adjusted.
We recommend that you ratify this proposed contract, and that Brother Walker continue his ministrations at Dry Fork looking to the consummation of the arrangement with the entire group.
