The unfinished business of the last meeting (see Bulletin Nos. 6 and 9) was brought before the society and elicited remarks from many which resulted in the adoption of the report with the following substitute in place of second paragraph, page 3, Bulletin 6: “As this is not the foreign missionary Society of the denominations, and as confusion often occurs, from our common use of the term “Missionary Society,” we recommend the term “International Tract Society,” as a convenient title for general use, and a pleasant substitute for the abbreviation “T. & M. Society.”MMM 391.13
