1. Resolved, That we will continue to serve, as heretofore, the col- 

 ored people who have remained under our care, and those who may 

 return to their former Church relations. 



2. That where they so desire, and the numbers justify it, we will 

 serve them separately in place or time. 



3. That in accordance with the regulations of the last General 

 Conference, we will license suitable colored persons to preach and 

 serve colored charges by appointing preachers, white or colored, as 

 may be judged proper by the appointing power. 



4. That we are ready to render them any service, even in their 

 new Church relations, which may be desired, and which may con- 

 sist with other claims upon us.
