In its minutes of 1792:
“Elders Patten, Chugan and Vaughn, agree to travel for three months in the

recommend that a sufficient sum be subscribed by the churches, and paid
immediately into the hands of Col. Samuel Miles, to bear their expenses.” f994
In its minutes of 1722 we read:
“It was proposed for the churches to make inquiry among them-selves, if they
have any young persons hopeful for the ministry, and inclinable for learning,
and if they have to give notice of it to Mr. Able Morgan … that he might
recommend such to the academy on Mr. Hollis’ account.” f995
In its minutes of 1800 we read:
“It is recommended to our churches that a sermon be annually preached
among them, and after it a collection be made, the amount to be forwarded to
the association at their subsequent meeting, in order to augment the fund for
the education of such pious young men as appear promising for usefulness in
the ministry of the gospel.” f996
At its meeting in 1794 it said:
“In consequence of information communicated to this association by brother
William Rogers, it is desired that all donations for the propagation of the
gospel among the Hindoos, in the East Indies, be forwarded to him.” f997
In the minutes of 1795 we read: “Agreed that the church be advised to make
collections for the missionaries to the East Indies.” f998 At its meeting in 1800 it
“Resolved, that it be particularly urged on our churches, that, as stewards of
God, and influenced by a strong desire to spread the cause of our blessed
Redeemer, they endeavor to raise, as early as possible, and to maintain a fund
for the assistance of such ministers as may be called to supply destitute
churches, or otherwise publish the gospel in their connection. … The church
of Philadelphia having presented a query on the propriety of forming a plan
for establishing a missionary society: This association, taking the matter into
consideration, think it would be most advisable to invite the general
committee of Virginia and different associations on the continent to unite with
us in laying a plan for forming a missions y society, and establishing a fund
for its support, and for employing missionaries among the natives of our
continent.” f999
In its minutes of 1803 we read:
“The plan of a missionary society was read, and with some alteration
approved and recommended. It also recommended that sermons be preached
for the education and mission funds.” f1000
