A resolution on Persecution was brought up by Mr. Rushbrooke, seconded by Mr. Brooks, and carried unanimously, as follows:—

“The Conference Places on record its profound concern at the grave reports of persecution from which our Baptist brethren in Rumania have suffered during the past eighteen months and even within recent weeks; and calls upon the Rumanian Government to undertake a thorough investigation into the facts, and to take decisive action to bring to an end all religious persecution within its territories.”

Agreed that this be forwarded to the Department of State in America, to the British Foreign Office, and such bodies as are concerned.
