As the ladies interested in our Bureau of Woman's Work may wish to
see the resolutions adopted by the representatives of the several
woman's missionary societies at the meeting held in Saratoga June 4,
we herewith print them:

_Resolved_, That we, the representatives of the several
State women's home missionary societies present at the
Saratoga meeting, entreat the women of all the States to
form State societies, and add their contributions to those
of the great national societies to carry on all branches
of the missionary work in our own land, and to urge them
also to make corresponding effort to increase intelligence
in regard to home work.

_Resolved_, That a committee of three ladies be appointed
to open correspondence with representatives in the
different States where no societies now exist, and in all
practicable ways to promote unity of interest and action
in home work.

The committee appointed were:

Mrs. W. Kincaid, 483 Greene avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y.

Mrs. C. A. Richardson, 123 Washington avenue, Chelsea, Mass.

Mrs. E. S. Williams, 1729 Eleventh avenue South, Minneapolis, Minn.
