SERMON, AT THE OPENING OF THE ANNUAL MISSIONARY COUNCIL OF THE CHURCH, IN CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL, ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, ON THE MORNING OP OCTOBER 24th, 1899. BY

THE

Rt. Rev. THOMAS UNDERWOOD DUDLEY, D.D., LL.D., D.C.L., Bishop of Kentucky.

“ Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and uphold me with Thy free Spirit: Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto Thee.” —Psalm li. 12, IS.

A f e w years ago I was invited to speak to a gathering of Churchwomen in a great city, in behalf of the Church's work among the Colored people of the southern States of our union. A representative of the work in China, and one of that among our native Indian tribes, preceded me in the presentation of the common cause, and when they had finished the gentleman presiding over the meeting introduced me with the preface that perhaps there was greater need for evangelizing the white people of the South than the poor Negroes, as shown by the then recent outrage in South Carolina, the result of the appointment of a Negro to be the postmaster in a certain village. I can remember that I felt, as I stood up to speak, that this introduction seemed to me unnecessary and perhaps unkind. I can remember the disposition to rejoin that perhaps the same suggestion might as well have been made before my brother of South Dakota began his appeal for his Indians, that the money was more urgently needed to convert the white men of the far West, who have been known to urge with great unanimity that the only good Indian is a dead Indian. And further, that the money sent to evangelize China might with greater wisdom be expended in changing the minds of some of the citizens of New York, who have been known to treat with singular lack of Christian cour­ tesy Mongolian sojourners in their midst. You will readily understand that I suffered not these my thoughts and feel­ ings to overflow my lips, but pleaded in the few minutes given me, as best I could, for the performance of the duty resting upon us to aid in the education and evangelization of those millions of black people who are our fellow-countrymen and our fellow-citizens. But I came away, my beloved brethren, pondering the question, which has kept repeating itself unto this day, whether in our earnest appeals for missions, as in general made—missions at home and abroad, missions to the white, the yellow, the black—we are not beginning at the wrong end, we

are not busying ourselves in the search and demand for fruit while careless and forgetful of the root of the tree, whether it be in very deed alive and vigorous. How shall we expect American men and women to give time and thought and money to the preaching of the one religion to the Oriental, when the personal discourtesy and even assault, received in the streets of our greatest city, is evidence that in the view of the ill-taught American he is not a sharer with him in a common humanity, and so of a common redemption? The west­ ern frontiersman who is eagerly desirous that the Indian reservations shall be free for his occupation ; who remembers with angry resentment the bloodshed with which self-protection has sought to resent intrusion and to avenge past robbery and wrong; and who forgets, utterly forgets, that the Indian is a man, the brother of the Son of Man, the child of the One Father, he naturally would be rid of him as of any other wild beast, and has no sympathy with the effort to give him citizenship in the Kingdom. And so the poor Negro who is in the way of his stronger competitor; who is a menace and alarm to the political supremacy the white man of the South rightly feels he ought to have ; who is the unhappy victim of remembered mastery and as well of the results of his own slavery ; whose needs and petitions the white men of the North are weary of hearing, and whose very appearance is an offence unto the eyes not used to see i t ; how shall we persuade white men to give to him the Bread of Life except they shall have come to believe—mark yon, really to believe—that there is a salvation revealed from Heaven for all men, and that the Negro is a man ; that there is a Spirit, a free Spirit, free to all born of woman, who alone giveth life; that there is none other Name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved but only the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth ? Sentiment is unequal to persistent exertion. The sentiment about the Indian born of the stories of the romancer is not strong enough to resist the cupidity which would drive him from the lands of his fathers, and the contemptuous disgust which arises necessarily from the experience of his degradation and savagery. The enthu­ siasm of missionary adventure grows weary in its baffled efforts to penetrate the wall of traditional ignorance, nay, rather of Confucian learning, centuries old. And the sentiment of humanity, satisfied with having broken off the shackles of the slave, grows faint in the offensive companionship of the newly-made free­ man. No, sentiment may be counted but a vain thing to sustain the Church's work of missions, and alas! we have but too often appealed to mere sentiment. We have come seeking fruit, the fruit which is the necessary outgrowth of the life in Christ, and have been content because into our baskets have fallen the half developed clusters, the evidence of a life which it may be was once fruitful but is dead, or of a false life, begun but to die. Therefore am I come to bid my brothers of this Council remember that mis­ sionary zeal, flaming, enduring, overwhelming, can be the product of but one power, even of the Spirit of the living God ; born of penitent confession and faith, it is the child of joy—the joy of restored salvation ; but it is mighty as a giant to the breaking down of strongholds because it is upheld by the omnipo­ tent Spirit of God. And the necessary function of its life is the teaching to transgressors the way of peace itself has learned ; the inevitable result of its very being is the converting of sinners unto God.

SERMON.

Yes, here I find the suggestion and the expression of the lesson I would learn and would impart in these words of the Psalmist king in the day when Nathan, the prophet, came to him to tell him of his sin—even that interest in missions and success in missions are dependent directly and necessarily upon the penitent remembrance and confession of sin, and the renewed hope and life which have come from received pardon. True of the individual, equally true of the Church, the Heaven-born agent for the work’s accomplishment, recognition of her unfaithful past, faith, undoubting faith in her Lord and Head, and the resulting indwelling of His Holy Spirit, these and these alone can enable her to convert the nations unto God. I come bringing, as I believe, a message of comfort and of hope, for not daring to prophesy smooth things, or to fail to note the embarrassments and difficulties of our present condition, I come to bring the explanation of these things given by the Word of God, and to tell the remedy which He reveals. First of all, then, let us admit, freely admit, that the Church whereof we are ministers and members has not in any degree risen up to adequate concep­ tion of her duty and her privilege in the matter of missions, so that her mis­ sionary operations find hardly a mention in one of the most recent and most comprehensive accounts of Christian missions. Confessedly the wealth of her members is proportionately greater than that of any other Christian body in America ; confessedly in intelligence and cultivation her people are the equal of those of any other communion, but the amount contributed for missions is paltry and mean in comparison with that given by some of her sisters; and worse still, the number of her sons who come demanding her authority to pro­ claim among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, in proportion to the ever-increasing multitude of her confessed adherents, is all unworthy of her apostolic mission. I would not be considered a pessimist. I would not lay myself open to the charge of being forgetful of the advance which the old Church has made in the new land. Perhaps it is well over and over again to revert in memory to the small beginnings, to mark the doings and list the utterances of that little one which has now indeed become a thousand. Let us assist in imagination at the gather­ ing of the feeble clan eighty years ago, when nine Bishops were present at a General Convention in Philadelphia at which the constitution of our Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society was framed. There is no uncertain sound in the voice we can hear. The field is the world and the Church is the appointed husbandman. The continent is stretched out before them; kinsmen and brethren are making ready its conquest, and the Church must go with them as their protector and guide, and yet in 1823 the report to the General Convention shows receipts of but $5,723. But the spirit was alive, for in 1822 a missionary was appointed to go to West Africa, and before his departure he was to collect the meanB to establish a school there. How little we have changed some of our methods ! In 1827, a mission is begun among the native Indian tribes, and in 1829 a man is sent to Greece. The receipts for missions from 1822-28, during a period of five years, amounted to $12,950, but as proven by this test the mis­ sionary spirit was becoming more intense, for from March 1831, to December

'SERMON.

1832, the receipts were $25,808. The time draweth on toward the birth of the new thought of missions, and the signs of the coming event are ever more and more manifest. In 1833, the Board declared the need of twenty additional missionaries in the Domestic field, and of two men for Africa, and the next year the mission to Ohina is announced. And in August, 1835, it is reported that in the fifteen months preceding the people had given to missions about $37,000. The hour had come for the new departure, and under the leadership of the great Bishop of New Jersey the Church declared herself the missionary society, and every baptized man a member of that society. This is the action of a Church with 763 clergy and about 36,000 communicants. The result is what was rightfully expected. In three years thereafter the clergy have in­ creased to 951 and the communicants to 46,000. The report in 1835 had been of Domestic mission stations thirty-nine, and of Domestic missionaries twentysix, and in the three years which had passed since the recognition of the uni­ versal obligation to missionary effort, the stations had increased to 114 and the missionaries to sixty. The three Foreign stations of 1835 had increased to seven ; the five ordained missionaries to nine ; the five female workers to ten ; the five native teachers to twenty ; the Gospel was being preached by our agency in Greece, Syria, Crete, Persia, China and West Africa, and the receipts for the three years amount to $157,000. Now let us hear the report at our last General Convention, just one year ago : There are 4,842 clergy, 682,926 communicants, and the reported contri­ butions for missions are $1,542,906. The clergy have increased fivefold, the communicants fifteenfold, and the contributions nearly tenfold. Pardon all these figures, my brethren ; I adduce them to show that, great as has been our actual increase in the six decades and a half of our real mis­ sionary history, it is far less than it should have been, and far less than it would have been had not the flaming zeal of that early day been quenched by the noxious vapors which our later years have developed. Why then, I ask, is there such lack of missionary interest to-day, as is manifested by the fact that of 6,274 parishes and missions in our country, only 3,722 contributed anything during the last canonical triennium to this cause of supreme obligation ? Is it due to insufficient organization ? I ask this great question first because of the almost inevitable tendency of our times to ascribe any and every failure to want of proper machinery; and the disposition equally universal to expect from the machine the performance of individual duty, and to ignore the fact that no organization can be of any avail except there be behind it and within it the fire of personal devotion. In reply I have to say that in the judgment of those without, who lack our anciont system of episcopal and diocesan arrangement, it is of superlative ex­ cellence as a missionary organization. Alas that we do not use it ! Then, again, the recognition for nearly seventy years of the position of every baptized member of the Church as active partici­ pants in the doings of the missionary society, itself the Church, should, as one would think, have compelled the use of the diocesan machinery for the dissemi­

'SERMON.

%

nation of missionary intelligence, the increase of missionary interest, and the consequent collection of missionary resources. Perhaps the competing claims of diocesan needs has absorbed the service of diocesan agencies, and also too often has consumed all diocesan interest in missionary work. But if so the lack ye mark is not of more machinery, but of fire; it is the lack on the part of Bishops, clergy and people, of proper recognition of constraining need and of individual responsibility, which may not be disregarded because of any demand that is nearer home. Organization ! What could be devised more perfect than that already existing, as we believe, after the example of the holy Apostles ! Should not every Bishop of every diocese be himself the chief agent to make his people know their duty to missions—all missions—and be ashamed and self-condemned if by his failure his people are giving up to selfish spiritual luxury the means, even the time and thought and money that belong of right to the extension of the Kingdom? Is not the Priest and rector of every parish the divinely-appointed teacher and leader of his people, first of all, in the discharge of this duty to tell it out among the heathen, at home and abroad, that the Lord is King ? He will teach them to worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness, but will be careful to explain that the necessary ornament of the Lord's house is the spiritual willing­ ness and eagerness of His people to obey His commandment to evangelize the nations, and that the material decoration of the sanctuary natural and appro­ priate in highest magnificence, must come after and not before this, the com­ manded adornment of the Christian assembly. Organization! What more do we need ? Nay, I repeat, fire, and not machinery, is to be sought. Certainly there must be central organization for the unification of the one work, an executive of the decrees of the Church in Missionary Council assembled. The Board of Managers, as at present consti­ tuted, is perhaps as efficient an executive as conld be found under the difficul­ ties arising from the extent of our country and the necessity of frequent meet­ ings. To find an executive head, its mouthpiece, its right hand, it has looked long since Langford fell on sleep. Alas! here is another evidence of the primal source of all our inability. We do not believe in the Church's mission on this earth. We do not believe that this is the very reason of her being to extend the knowledge of the Son of Grod among men, and that the highest office in His Kingdom is that which can wield largest influence in the arousing of His people to the doing of this work. Our Board of Managers hardly dared to ask any one of the recognized leaders and commanders of the people ; I mean leaders and commanders not by mere official dignity and station, but such by reason of their manifold gifts ; because forsooth it is said such a man cannot be expected to give up the posi­ tion of power and opportunity he already fills to assume this of the head of our missionary organization, and its experience in its timid adventure in this direc­ tion proved the correctness of its apprehension. But what position can equal this in dignity, if dignity be indeed opportunity for service? What opportu­ nity for good like this permission to devote all of thought and labor to the proclamation of the King's command, the recitation in myriad ears of the tid­

6

ings of the battle, the portrayal before the eyes of the young and brave of the heroic deeds which await their doing, the splendid sufferings which call for their endnrance? The executive of our missionary Board, call him what you will, is not to be a beggar for the begrudged gifts of the nominal Christian; not merely the patient and cautious financier burdened with the needs of his brethren in the battle; no, he should be the clarion-tongued, the large-hearted, the braveminded, the biggest, best man we can find, to lead the people, to make them know the need and the opportunity, even the Lord's call, and men and money will be forthcoming ; for the regularly appointed officers of the militant host will gladly obey his calling and be his lieutenants ; men themselves in need of this leader’s stirring presence and appeal that the larger claims of the Church's missionary work be not forgotten in the pressing demands of their own diocesan or parochial necessities. Organization ! what need we more, what room for more? The women are an auxiliary host, splendidly organized and officered, and beside, their great offerings of money are making glad the hearts and homes of the missionaries. Perhaps their best work is in convincing men of their faith by these their works. The children of our Sunday-schools are marching in bannered array to the help of the Lord against the mighty. Their pennies are supplementing our parsimony and are, thank God, putting their elders to shame. Organization ! nay, here are wheels within wheels in beautiful harmony of arrangement, and we need only the spirit of life to be within the wheels. Ah! beloved brethren, be assured that it is not changed organization that we need, nor yet other and different officers for the working of that we have, but the restored joy of salvation from sin, the upholding of the Holy Spirit, who is ever willing to upbear the penitent, even the comfort of His help again. But secondly, our young men come not now as aforetime to offer them­ selves for the work of the Ministry. Why not? In 1838 we had 951 clergy and 46,000 communicants, about one in forty-nine of the active membership of the Church. In the three years from 1835 to 1838 we gained about 10,000 communicants and 188 clergymen, one in fifty-three of those added to the fellowship. In 1898 we have 682,926 communicants and 4,842 clergymen, about one in 141 of our communion list. In the three years from 1895 to 1898 we added 64,426 communicants and only 301 clergymen, or one in 214 of those newly admitted to the Sacred Feast. But whence this awful difference, all contradic­ tory as it is of the general law of the attraction of a body being proportionate to its mass? How comes it to pass that in those early days of trial and difficulty, of prejudice and persecution, the actual gain of the members of the Church in three years is nearly one-third, and of the clergy one-fourth, while in the al­ most closing triennium of this great century, when the Church has, alas ! be­ come the fashion, and the voice of prejudice and opposition is silent, that gain is less than one-tenth of the communicants at its beginning, and less than onesixteenth of the clergy? These are hard, stubborn facts, they stand with horrid front staring indignant at our rejoicing and self-laudation! They will not down at the bidding of the most enthusiastic optimist. I can hear several offered

'SERMON.

n

explanations of their being and presence. One distinguished divine has told us that men no longer aspire to the office of the preacher and minister, because, at least in our Communion, there is no room for more members of the Sacred Order, and this be asserts to be proven by the fact that throughout the whole Church he made application in vain to find a parish offering $1,000 salary with use of a rectory, with perhaps two replies of partial encouragement. The deduction from this result of an ingenious fictitious experiment, is that the young men of to-day refuse, and wisely refuse, to enter a calling which cannot with any cer­ tainty assure even a morsel of bread and a home, all mean and miserable, to its most faithful servant. Certainly let it be quickly answered, the Ministry of Jesus Christ has nothing to offer in the way of material comfort, of success as the world calls it, in comparison with those paraded in their shop windows by politics, science, commerce, and art. Beyond all controversy there is no room in our holy brotherhood for the man who is looking for only a home and $1,000 a year. But to the men who long years ago have entered what they believe to be veritably “ a calling,” and have obeyed a summons ; to the men whose hearts have been overwhelmed by the sense of obligation to their Redeemer and Saviour, and who have answered that summons, “ Here am I, send me ''; to the men who have been bowed beneath a conviction of sin, and been uplifted by the assurance of pardon and the comfort of the Spirit's help; who have felt “ Woe is me if I preach not the Gospel of deliverance to all my fellow-sufferers ''; to the men who have gladly given up the career which promised power and pleas­ ure and plenty, that they might obey this calling; to such men this degradation of the Ministry to the level of the counter and the workshop, aye, even of the forum and the senate chamber, is as offensive as it is inadequate to explain our changed condition. Nay, more, they cannot believe that their sons, the young manhood of to-day, ready to suffer in the defence of the nation's honor, ready to suffer in pursuit of knowledge, ready to labor in the discharge of any duty clearly perceived, is repelled from the Ministry merely by the expectation of the lot of poverty. The same writer suggests that a further reason for the present unwilling­ ness to enter our Ministry is the undue development of the sacerdotal concep­ tion of its functions. He avers, and certainly his further suggestion is more hon­ orable to those of whom he speaks, that the men who are disgusted by the possible non-appearance of the snug rectory and the $1,000 of salary, are confirmed in their determination to disregard an inspiration they have felt to become help­ ers and teachers of men, by the recognition that so doing they must become but masters of a religious ceremonial, but chanting Levites in the sanctuary, but ministers of Sacraments of doubtful efficacy, and that under our present conditions there shall be no place left them for free inquiry and free speech, for bold and manly leadership. I am not prepared to deny the effect upon thoughtful men of such undue and disordered conception of the Priest's office as is suggested by the conduct and the conversation of some diminutive specimens of that noble class, who are the exponents of ritual run mad, of a sacramental theory more Roman than Rome. I wish that the learned writer had not failed to suggest as well the effect upon perhaps a larger number, and perhaps a more intelligent and more

8

SERMON.

thoughtful class of young men, of the teaching of extreme men in another direction, which seems to flout the necessity for any Ministry at all, which transforms the Church into a metaphysical club, the Gospel of Jesus Christ into a system of ethics, and the Sacraments of that Gospel into a pretty sym­ bolism without inward significance or value, a picture of needed cleansing and a club supper. I can understand, I think, the aversion of a well-trained manly youth to devoting his life to the manipulations of sacred vessels, and to the settlement of controversies hanging upon shades of color; but just as well can I understand the question presenting itself to the same mind, Why need I handicap myself for the race of life by putting on this old harness of opinions which some of their professed adherents and sworn defenders tell me are exploded ? Ah! my brethren, beyond all doubt the effect of extreme opinions unwisely stated, in general by enthusiastic disciples who scorn the limits of self-restraint estab­ lished by their masters, beyond all doubt this effect has been increasingly to prevent the entrance into the Ministry of those who ought to be there. But the remedy, what is it ? How may we overcome these difficulties raised by men of our own company (as I verily believe honest men on the one hand and the other) in the way of our securing the service of the men we so much need ? I answer again, not by mere machinery, but by the more incessant cultivation of the spiritual life of ourselves and of our people, and by the consequent exhibi­ tion of that life in more splendid vigor,whatever may be our ecclesiastical position or our theological system. The earnest man is not repelled by even the largest vagaries of the man who works, works day and night for the salvation of men in body and soul. He can bear the assertion by word and act of the tremen­ dous mystery of sacramental gift, when it comes from the man who gives him­ self wholly to this one thing—even to glorify God in his body and his spirit which are Christ’s. And the metaphysical speculations of the higher critic will be more tolerable from the man whose every word is the reverent expres­ sion of a mind and heart thoroughly consecrated to the only God, who seeketh the truth, come whence it may, cost what it may, but whose path of search is lighted by the answer to prayer, and who is himself sustained by honest depend­ ence upon the strong staff of the determined Creed. Yes, the all-sufficient explanation of the decreased number of candidates for the Ministry is not the expectation of poverty nor yet the repulsion from excessive sacerdotalism or excessive rationalism, but the failure of us all—ritual­ ists, rationalists, conservatives, and radicals, describe us as you may—to exhibit in our daily lives the power, the constraining, the enabling, the joy-bringing power of the risen life. The great body of the Church still walk in the old-fashioned ways of our fathers. They recognize with thankfulness the work of one school of Church­ men in making more beautiful and more glorious the Temple of God and His wor­ ship therein. They recognize with gratitude the effect of these same teachers in making more real the understanding of the supernatural gifts of grace in the holy Sacraments. And they recognize with equal gratitude the work of an­ other school in tearing away a mass of opinions which had disfigured and con­ cealed the fair face of our mother, and her teaching, and in asserting the free­

dom of the Churchman in all matters of mere opinion, and the loving welcome which the Church vouchsafes to all confeBsors of the one Creed, whatever be their opinions. Yes, they, the great mass, go not with the advance guard of either body, but stand firm in the old ways, and call aloud to these timorous ones that they rally on the centre. The suggested explanations do not explain, save only that they perhaps imply, and imply with truth, that in the controversies of our time, Biblical, phiiosophical, ecclesiastical, liturgical, we have forgotten in measure that to which all these opinions and practices are but ministers, even the manifestation of Christ's life in our life as individuals, as citizens, as Churchmen. Think of it, ye elders, what was the custom in those far-away days of your boyhood in the matter of attendance upon divine service ? True that then we may remember with shame the Church’s doors were shut from Sunday to Sun­ day; true that daily service was almost unknown and the weekly Eucharist a marvel, but equally true that the father and mother then were seen with their children about them in the accustomed place, at Morning and Evening Prayer on the Lord’s Day. Perhaps we may confess that there was not much to at­ tract, especially the younger worshippers. The dear old church could not be called beautiful by even its most devoted child. The cultivation of ecclesiasti­ cal music had hardly been begun. The choir in the organ loft seemed to con­ sider Jackson's Te Deum the very ne plus ultra of musical attainment, and made Balerma and Park Street the usual attendants of those of the little company of hymns whose gait they did match. The evergreens at Christmas were the only allowed decoration, and their taking down at Ash Wednesday left the bare walls more bare. The eloquence of the preacher was not, I am persuaded, greater than that of his successors to-day, though it may be that greater care was given to the sermon's preparation because it was so largely the attraction to the attendants. But the people came and brought their children with them. Ah! my brethren of the clergy, must we find fault with ourselves that to-day the second service is in general attended by but a handful of the faithful ? Kemember the family altar which then stood in well-nigh every household in the parish, around which, at morning and at evening, or both, knelt the par­ ents with the children in prayer and praise. The child was taught thereby that the service of God was to be first and chief of all his doings, and went forth from that home to seek his fortune, with this controlling principle to guide his steps. Naturally, the boy thought first of the Ministry of the Church; naturally, the college lists of that elder day show larger proportion of the graduates as entering the Holy Ministry. But to-day the assembling for family prayers is, I am afraid, a rare reunion in the households of Christian Churchmen. The day's engagements will not permit the tarrying for united prayer of those who have lingered in bed till the breakfast-bell has sounded, and when evening comes there must be just as speedy separation for the fulfilment of society's de­ mands, even more rigorous than those of business. Why shall the boy think of giving his life to the service of the King, whom His sworn servants, his father and his mother, cannot find time to worship? Nay, if, despite this deficiency in his spiritual training, the youth shall yet

10

somehow be turned toward the Ministry as his best opportunity to serve God and man, must we not with shame confess that he too often finds no encourage­ ment at home thus to devote himself to a career of humble poverty ? The father who has lived for the world, although he has acknowledged the claims of his Saviour, cannot consent that his son give up the vantage which his labors have made for him; and, stranger still, even the mother is unwilling to forego the prize which her boy may gain in commerce or art; she would fain hear his name acclaimed by the people, or see his power as the master of great financial enter­ prise. Why is it so P Because they believe not in Him whom nominally they confess. Because, with a name to live, they are dead. Recall the days long past, and live over again a Sunday in your boyhood. Possibly it was made to frown by the unwarranted twist which Calvinism had given to the Biblical truth, possibly it was not so joyous a day as it ought to have been, but surely it was separated, set apart, from all unholy and worldly uses. It may be that the railroad had not then, in obedience to popular de­ mand abolished the distinction it possessed, and did not invite the violation of God's law by excursion trains and low rates. But certainly Churchmen re­ garded the day as unto the Lord, and the journey begun that day had been an offence to the community, and the driving or pleasure party an offence to those who were bidden. But now, alas ! perhaps in violent reaction from the unlaw­ ful acerbity of the Puritans, the day is almost secularized, and respectable Churchmen and women consume it in a railway journey with unchristian economy, or make it noisy and harmful by the revel and the game. “ I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day," says the aged seer in Patmos; but church once attended, preferably the earliest service, the Churchman of to-day may be in any other spirit all the day, and the home and the family be left spiritually parched and dry because this day of spiritual benediction is neglected. Sixty years ago the man or woman who had been divorced was a veritable monster in the community, marked and avoided, even though misfortune and not evil-doing had’ caused the disaster—even though no second so-called mar­ riage had been made. But to-day, alas! alas ! the courts are busy with the demands to be released from the bond which irketh, and the facility of the dis­ solution is come to be a wonder to the world, and the very shame of our country. Surely the integrity of the family, the indissolubility of the marriage bond, has been made of our God the very foundation of the prosperity of any people. Surely the rashness in marrying, followed too often by the speedy re­ pentance and abandonment, are the very worst and most far-reaching evils of our States. Shall it go on so ? Can the Church do nothing to stay this awful tide of degeneracy ? And, to return to our immediate subject, can we be surprised that men and money are lacking for missionary endeavor when Christian people are seemingly content with such spiritual debasement as is evidenced by the customs of society, so-called best society, in this particular ? And so to conclude this discourse, already too long, I repeat the expression of my doubt that in pleading for missions we are beginning at the wrong end. In our effort to secure the pecuniary strength to enable the conduct of our war of expansion, we are failing to cultivate the spiritual life of our own people,

from which alone can be developed, any strength at all equal to the battle we must wage. Bazaars and fairs, entertainments and exhibitions of one sort and another may put money in our purse for the immediate necessity, but they kill out the very root principle of Christian beneficence. The enthusiastic appeal of some special preacher may cause the alms basin to overflow for the nonce, but will leave the people more careless of their bounden duty while they wait to be stirred into some new spasm of generosity by similar excitement. Believe me that the essential, the eternal principle of missions, the very philosophy of their conduct, was declared by the imprisoned Apostles when they stood before the great judgment seat to make answer by what power or in what Name they had made whole the poor crippled beggar whom they had found lying helpless at the beautiful gate of the temple. The judges could not deny that a notable miracle had been wrought by their hands; they dared not punish for the good deed, but they must do something to prevent the further spread of the per­ nicious superstition of Jesus and the Resurrection, and so they charged these prisoners that they should speak hereafter to no man in this Name. And the answer came back clear and ringing, which sounds even unto us to-day, as the very exposition of our own inevitable duty, “ We cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.’* Christian ministers, ye successors of this Peter and John, who thus define the certain outcome of faith in their Lord and ours, ye who are come up to this Council to consider how missionary interest may be increased and missionary operation extended, hearken : Labor, watch, pray that ye yourselves and your people may indeed see Him the crucified and hear His voice declaring, “ Son, thy sins are forgiven thee : arise and walk.” Labor and watch and pray that the Holy G-host may be your agency, convince your people of sin and of righteousness and of judgment. Be never weary of making the proclamation that God “ hath appointed a day in the which He will judge the world in righteousness, by that man whom He hath ordained, whereof He hath given assurance unto all men in that He hath raised Him from the dead.” Make them to realize by your word and good example that to be a Christian is not to be the mere participant in a ritual drill, nor yet the careless confessor of an orthodox creed, but the self-surrendered servant of a living King who hath loved us and given Himself for us. Make them to realize that by faith and Baptism we are made in very deed members of His body, sharers of His life; that this union is made day by day more intimate and real by prayer and meditation, by loving obedience, and by the mysterious gift of His Holy Sacrament. Make them to realize that, joined to His body, we are, we must be, ani­ mated by His Spirit, who will manifest Himself in our life measurably as in His, controlling thought and word and deed in the home, in society, in the State; that always and everywhere we must stand for righteousness even as He stood, at any cost even unto death. And this done, even in least degree, the joy of salvation, a veritable salvation, restored, the consciousness of the uphold­ ing spirit renewed, then of necessity—mark it, of necessity—then will they teach transgressors His ways, and sinners shall be converted unto Him, for “ we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.”

The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, inviting all the members of the Angli­ can Communion throughout the world, to join in celebrating the bicentenary with Eucha­ rist and Prayer, the Missionary Council hopes that not only will the House of Bishops, in accordance with the Archbishop of Canterbury’s request, nominate two members of our Episcopate to preach in England either at the commencement or at the close of the jubilee, but that the commemoration may be appropriately observed in many places in our own country, to which in 1702 the first two missionaries of the Society were dispatched. More than to any other organization the Church in this country is indebted to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel for fostering care in its earliest colonial days, and for much subsequent support. In the work of extending Christ’ s Kingdom which now lies before us, we should be greatly cheered and encouraged by the example of unstinted devotion and zeal and of unswerving loyalty to principle, which has been set before us by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, and by the manifold success with which Almighty God has crowned its labors. May these labors be continually increased and even more abundantly blessed to the salvation of souls and the hastening of our Lord’s Kingdom.

PROCEEDINGS OF TEE MISSIONARY COUNCIL.

On motion of the Bishop of Albany, the following resolutions were adopted: Resolved: That in the judgment of the Missionary Council, and especially in view of the great impetus given to the Lenten Offerings of the Sunday-schools by the visits o f a special agent of the Board of Managers, it is important that if possible some arrangement may be made by which a . permanent Secretary of the Sunday-school Auxiliary to the Board of Missions may be secured. Resolved: That in making this recommendation the Missionary Council do not think it necessary that any machinery should be employed to carry this into effect, but the sole object of appointing such a secretary is to awaken a spirit of enthusiasm and maintain the same among the teachers and scholars of the Sunday-schools of the Church.

The first topic having been taken up for discussion, “ Our New Responsi­ bilities,” the Bishop of Albany presented and read a paper on the Philippines, and Sergeant John H. Peyton addressed the Council upon the same subject, after which the Council took a recess until 8 p.m. On re-assembling, after singing and prayer, the Rev. Mr. Kimber presented and read the paper prepared by the Rev. George B. Pratt on “ Porto Rico,” fol­ lowed by an address on the same topic by Chaplain H. A. Brown, U.S.A. After extended discussion, the following resolution was, on motion of Mr. Boniface, adopted: That the chair be requested to appoint a committee to offer resolutions to-morrow morning, for the action of this Council, looking to the appointment of a Bishop to have jurisdiction over the island of Porto Bico.

The chair appointed as such a committee the Coadjutor Bishop of Minne­ sota, the Rev. Dr. Nelson and Mr. W. H. Boniface. The next topic was discussed in a paper by the Rev. Dr. Powers on “ Cuba ” and an address by the Bishop of Pennsylvania. The Bishop presid­ ing, having made closing remarks upon the topic, dismissed the Council with the Benediction. SECOND

The Rev. Dr. McKnight presented the following preamble and resolutions which, on his motion, were made the order of the day for this afternoon at 3 P.M. W h e r e a s , The Rev. Dr. Hoffman, Dean of the General Theological Seminary, New York, at the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees of that institution, on the 16th of May last, called attention to the action of the General Convention in regard to the instruc­ tion of candidates for Holy Orders in the various seminaries of the Church as to the work of missions, emphasizing its great importance, and suggesting regular, systematic instruc­ tion by some one competent, by his experience and knowledge of the missionary field, to speak on the subject; and W h e r e a s a sp e cia l c o m m itte e w as a p p o in te d t o c o n s id e r thiB p o r t io n o f th e d ea n ’ s a d d re ss an d b r in g th is m a tte r b e fo r e th e C h u rch at la r g e ; th e re fo re ,

Resolved: That the General Missionary Council here assembled desires to express its hearty concurrence with the proposition of the dean, which was seconded by the Board of Trustees, and commend the same or similar action to all the theological seminaries and schools throughout the Church. Resolved: That the importance of such a movement in an institution where 150 students are preparing for the Ministry, cannot be overestimated, because if faithfully car­ ried out it will impress them with a profound sense of their responsibility when they en­ ter upon the active duties of their office, to instruct the people as to the aggressive work of the Church, and their solemn duty, by their prayers and their alms, to co-operate with the Ministry in extending the Redeemer’s Kingdom throughout the world.

The order of the day being called for, the Rev. Mr. Pot wine read a paper prepared by the Bishop of Oregon on the topic, “ How to Increase the Interest in the Lenten Missionary Offering.” The Rev. Dr. Duhring followed with an address upon the same topic. On motion of the Bishop-Coadjutor of Minnesota it was Resolved: That this Missionary Council congratulates the children of the Sundayschools of the United States upon the gratifying outcome of their last Lenten Offering, resulting in the largest amount ever before contributed for missions, and that it bids them Godspeed in continuing a work which promises so much for the Church in future generations.

The noon hour having arrived, the Associate Secretary read the list of those members of the Board of Managers deceased during the past year and of those having left legacies to the Society during the same period. Hymn 176 was sung, and prayer was offered by the Bishop of Minnesota. The Rev. Dr. Edward Abbott then addressed the Council upon his obser­ vation of the China mission during his recent journey. The Council took a recess until 3 p . m . On reassembling, the Bishop of Minnesota in the chair, the Bishop of Lar­ amie presented the following preamble and resolution, which was adopted: In view of the fact, that the Treasurer of the Board of Managers has so successfully aided in providing for the needs of the work, that for two years past there has been no deficit in the treasury (a condition unknown in nearly all other missionary organizations); therefore Resolved: That this Missionary Council extend to Mr. George C. Thomas, Treasurer,

its grateful appreciation of his successful administration of the financial department of the Board of Missions.

The order of the day being called for, viz., the preamble and resolutions offered by the Rev. Dr. McKnight at this morning's session, they were, on mo­ tion, adopted. The topic, “ The Missionary Power of the Prayer Book,” being taken up, a paper was read by the Rev. Dr. Samuel Hart and an address delivered by the Rev. Dr. George Hodges. General discussion followed. A telegram being received from the Bishop of Massachusetts that the Bishop of Maine was near his end, the chairman bade the Council to prayer. On motion of the Bishop of Kentucky, the secretary of the Council was instructed to assure Mrs. Neely by telegraph of its loving sympathy and earnest prayers in this dread hour. On motion of the Rev. Mr. Eaud6, the following resolution was adopted: Resolved: That this Council desires to place on record : 1. Its pleasure over the presence in this Council of the Rev. John L. Gay, who has recently passed his ninetieth year. 2. Its congratulations to him over his preservation in health, strength and the fulness of all his powers during these fourscore years and ten. 3. Its gratitude to Almighty God for the long and faithful labors for the Church of this devoted missionary.

The topic, “ In the Event of the Partition of the Empire of China, What Will be the Effect on Christian Missions ? ” being taken up, the Bishop-Coadjutor of Minnesota read a paper prepared by the Rev. Dr. A. C. Bunn, which was followed by a paper by the Rev. J. Addison Ingle. Discussion followed. A paper on “ Missionary Education” was read by the Rev. Everett P. Smith, which was followed by an address upon the same topic by the Rev. Rich­ ard P. Williams. A recess was taken until 8 p . m . On reassembling, the Bishop of Missouri conducted religious service. The Bishop of Minnesota having taken the chair, the Bishop-Coadjutor of Minne­ sota presented the report of a special committee as follows : W h e r e a s , The island of Porto Rico is now an integral portion of the territory of the United States; and W h e b e a s , From the testimony of Priests of the American Church, the field is open and inviting; and W h e b e a s , It is the duty of the Church to accept the responsibility placed upon it of ministering to the spiritual necessities of the people of said island; and W h e r e a s , T h e n e e d s o f th e situ a tio n are p re s sin g a n d im m e d ia t e ; th e r e fo r e

Resobed: That, in the judgment of this Council, the island of Porto Rico should be made a missionary district of this Church as soon as it can canonically be done, and that the House of Bishops be requested, in the meantime, to provide episcopal supervision for the island. Resoloed: That this Council recommends to the Board of Managers a generous con­ sideration of the reports of the Commission on Increased Responsibilities, trusting and believing that the Church will rise and respond to any courageous recognition of the openings and opportunities which God is presenting to her; and hoping that liberal en­ couragement may be given to the clergy and lay-workers who are rendering real service

The resolutions appended to the foregoing report were adopted. The Rev. Mr. Faud6 presented the following resolutions, which were adopted seriatim: Resolved: That, in the judgment of this Council, the time has come for the Church to realize that every opportunity for the spread of Christ’s Kingdom lays upon her the duty of immediately taking up the work. Resolved: That it is the belief of this Council that every new work undertaken by the Board of Managers will be supported by the Church. Resolved: That the Missionary Council hereby recommends to the Board of Managers of the Board of Missions that a Bishop be sent at the earliest practicable day to inaugu­ rate the work of the Church in each of our new possessions and other new fieldB of re­ sponsibility. Resolved: That the Board of Managers be requested to issue a special appeal to the Church for the funds necessary to this work.

On motion of the Bishop of Albany, it was Resolved: That this Missionary Council, in adopting the resolution of the Committee and the resolutions of the Rev. Mr. Faude, sends them both to the Board of Managers, as expressing the strong conviction of this Council as to the duty of the Board to recognize and undertake the responsibility of the opportunities that open before this Church.

The Rev. Dr. Lines presented the report of the committee on the report of the Board of Managers, which, on motioa of the Bishop of Missouri, was adopted. BEPORT ON THE ANNUAL BEPOBT OF THE BOARD OF MANAGERS.

In presenting their report upon the annual report of the Board of Managers of the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society, referred to them, your committee would ex­ press their thanks to Almighty God for the many proofs given during the last year of the Divine blessing upon the missionary work of the Church. New responsibilities have come to the country and to those to whom the care of the Church, under God, is commit­ ted. The interest already shown in the Church and in this Missionary Council, in the en­ deavor to meet these reponsibilities, is to be thankfully recognized. W e are disposed to emphasize, in the strongest way, the new duty and privilege of the Church in the coun­ tries into relation with which we have come. The reports concerning the state of religion in these countries, the fact that our armies are already in occupation, that many of our fellow-citizens are going thither for business or for permanent residence, make the duty of this Church plain. Where our soldiers and our citizens go, the Church must go also. We think that we speak for the representatives of the Church assembled in this council, in asking the Board of Managers to take large and generous action in respect to our new responsibilities, believ­ ing that the Church will support them in so doing. While welcoming the interest in the new forms of work which so strongly appeal to us, we must not forget the obligations which have long rested upon us and which have been imperfectly met. We would name especially the work among the Colored people of the

20

PROCEEDINGS OF THE MISSIONARY COUNCIL.

Southern States, and we would plead for a larger appropriation for this most pressing work so far as the means at the disposal of the Board permit. We heartily agree with the opinion expressed by the Board that provision should be made in our divinity-schools and schools for the training of deaconesses for systematic and thorough instruction concerning missions, and the duty of sending men and women to make known the Gospel in foreign lands and in neglected parts of our own country. Lectureships, by which this great subject may be presented by competent persons, would seem practicable and full of promise. The committee repeat the recommendation of the creation o f a central committee in each diocese to be the means o f continuous communication between the Board of Man­ agers and the several parishes of their diocese, and to be a centre of missionary interest. With a view to help in this direction, the committee regard with approval the ap­ pointment of representatives of the Board of Managers—themselves experienced either in actual missionary work or in the management o f the business of the Board—to visit different diocesan convocations and conventions to present the matter before the assem­ bled clergy and laity. We are not willing to pass by without grateful acknowledgment the fact that the generous offerings of the Woman’ s Auxiliary last year have made possible the sending into the mission field of no less than forty missionaries and teachers. This notable exten­ sion of our mission work calls for the gratitude of all who love the Lord Jesus Christ and His Church. Through the Woman’s Auxiliary, many noteworthy individual gifts have come, to establish and maintain noble charities which express in a most touching way the spirit of our holy religion. The Sunday-school Lenten Offering for missions commands the attention of the Church. It represents faithful and wise work with which the name of the Rev. DrDuhring is especially associated. The great sum given by the children has been a large part of the resources of the Board. More valuable still is the assurance given that a generation of boys and girls is growing up, with knowledge of missionary work, and trained to give for its support. A word of caution may be spoken concerning the danger of valuing the Sunday-school primarily as an agency for raising money, even for the noblest purposes, rather than for distinctly religious instruction, out of which almsgiving will naturally flow. It must be said with great regret that some parishes have allowed the offerings of the Woman’ s Auxiliary and even the Sunday-school Lenten Offerings to meet their parochial obligations. We commend without reserve the efforts to interest the children in mission work through the observance of Missionary Sunday and through mis­ sionary publications adapted to the young as well as to adults. We observe with regret that the circulation of T he Y o u n g C hristian S o l d i e r is diminished, and we urge the clergy to have thought for this useful paper. Without decidedly objecting to gifts for special forms of mission work, we most earnestly ask for large and regular offerings for the general treasury, wherewith the Board may meet its great responsibili­ ties. The hope of our mission work lies in systematic and generous offerings for the use of the Board of Managers without restriction. The Church has chosen them to have charge of this great work. They are in a position to take a broad view of the whole field, with its varied needs. We ought in fairness to trust them and give them the re­ sources to meet the obligations which they are obliged to assume. The Church must depend largely upon her clergy for such instruction as shall train congregations to give generously for missions. But we would suggest that the concentration of zeal and interest and generosity upon the parish appears often to limit mission offerings unduly. In the endeavor to make the parish church beautiful and worship attractive, in great re­ gard for taste and comfort, the duty toward those who are strangers to the Gospel and without all church privileges is sometimes forgotten. Many of our parishes would be more sure of God’s blessing if they accepted greater simplicity and let their offerings flow out more abundantly to those who lack everything.

We press on the consciences of Churchpeople the absolute duty of contributing to the support of the missionary work of the Church as regularly as to the support of their own parishes. With a view to this, the committee would urge on the clergy the neces­ sity of the intelligent presentation of the grounds for missionary work, and of its actual needs and prospects. Parochial lectures upon missionaries and their work, in modern and former times, would give useful information and kindle zeal. The literature concern­ ing missions is one of the richest parts of the literature of the time, full of interest, the story of great heroism and devotion, the record of a great part of the world’ s best life. From the mission field some of the most convincing proofs of the power of our religion and of the presence of the Spirit of God come to us to-day. The religious life of our people would be deepened by lectures and reading, whereby they may come to know the story of mission work, which is the story of the extension of the Kingdom of God in the world.

The Rev. Mr. Faud& presented the following resolution, which, on motion of the Bishop of Albany, was referred to the Board of Managers : Resolved: That it is the sense of this Council that all money coming by legacies to the Board of Managers and. not required for the current year shall be reserved for new missionary work to be taken up from time to time, unless such legacies otherwise desig­ nate.

On motion of the Rev. Dr. McKnight, the following resolution was adopted: Resolved: That the cordial thanks of this Missionary Council are given to the Bishop of this diocese, the Committee of Arrangements and to the rectors of the parishes in this beautiful city and their parishioners for their courtesy and generous hospitality. Never has the Missionary Council, at any time, or in any place, been more kindly welcomed or more generously entertained.

On motion, the Council adjourned. THIRD D A Y 'S PROCEEDINGS.

October 26th. Morning Prayer was Baid by the Rev. Messrs. H. Stuck and E. N. Joyner. The minutes of yesterday's session were read and approved. A telegram was read from Mrs. Neely in response to that sent to her by the Council, expressing “ deep appreciation of the loving message of the Council." On motion of the Rev. Mr. Carstensen, it was Resolved; That the Board of Managers be asked to prescribe a series of missionary topics and to set forth such information concerning the same as will facilitate the observ­ ance, at stated times, of concerted presentation of the cause and prayer therefor.

On motion of the Bishop of Marquette, it was Resobed: That—in view of the repeated admissions by all observers that the lack of interest in missions is due to lack of information—the Board of Managers be requested to take under earnest consideration a greatly enlarged free circulation of the publications of the Board.

PROCEEDINGS OF TEE MISSIONARY COUNCIL.

The Bishop of South Dakota presented the following report: REPOKT OP THE COMMITTEE ON THE R6P0RT OP THE WOMAN’ S AUXILIARY.

The committee to whom was referred the report of the Secretary of the Woman’ s Auxiliary would not forget that the Woman’s Auxiliary, rightly analyzed and de­ scribed, is just this: One o f the efforts o f the body o f the living Christ, or, rather, one o f the efforts o f the living Christ to work through a part of His body. In this Auxiliary individ­ ual members of the body of Christ have united themselves together in order that the living Head may do through their associated effort that which could not be done through any one of them alone. The members of the Woman’ s Auxiliary realize, we believe, this high truth. They are not hungry, therefore, for our praise; and, if we must bear testi­ mony to the fact that they have “ labored more abundantly ” than some, the members o f the Auxiliary will be the first to add: “ Yet not we, but Christ, who liveth in us.” The work of the Woman’s Auxiliary is so well known and confided in throughout the length and breadth of the Church, and the beneficence of its operation touches so many hearts, blessing, as it does, as well them that give as them that take, that your committee feel that all we need do is to take up and accentuate some of the more important parts of the report of the Secretary. In no way, perhaps, has the character of the Woman’s Auxiliary as part of the body of Christ been more revealed than in two of its Christlike tendencies: First, the tendency to draw toward all similar efforts, giving to and receiving from them, and, second, the growth each year of a desire to make its occasions of gathering not only times for report of work done and of plans for work in the future, but occasions for those spiritual exercises in quiet prayer, in meditation upon God’s Word, and in Sacrament, whereby the members of the body bring themselves more fully under the influence and control of the Head. Your committee commend, therefore, the spiritual appeals in the report of the Secre­ tary and the suggestion of the report that other associations may, formed for some specific work which has nothing in its nature to exclude it from the Woman’s Auxiliary, draw closer to each other and to the Woman’ s Auxiliary; associations such as the Mexican Cen­ tral Committee, the Church Periodical Club, the Daughters of the King, and the Girls’ Friendly Society— a union of all women of the Church at work for missions. Your com­ mittee think such approaches might be made without any such entanglements as would imperil the individuality of the several associations concerned. Too much cannot be said in commendation of the efforts of the Woman’s Auxiliary in supplying, besides their contributions in money, their contributions in kind, which oftentimes are the greater evidence of forethought, plan and trouble. Without the supply of boxes sent annually to our missionary fields, hundreds of our clergy and many of our in­ stitutions would suffer for want of the necessaries of life, and many would have to with­ draw from their fields. By means of the box there is often conveyed, far more than by money or check, an expression of personal sympathy and helpfulness. There may, of course, be abuse of these boxes, such as those seeking and receiving them who should cultivate independence of them, and such as congregations absolving themselves from full support of their pastor on the ground that many of his wants are provided for from outside. The importance of a more general use of the missionary literature of our Church haB been brought to the attention of this Council. We know o f no better agency for doing this than the Woman’ s Auxiliary, and your committee rejoice in all its work in this line. Knowledge must be the spur to effort. Study is the price of knowledge. When we can get such papers and reports and books as are already within our reach into the hands of our people, then, and not till then, will the resources of our Church become available for the Church’ s missionary work. The Junior Auxiliary is bound to become a more potent factor than hitherto in our

work. We welcome the reports of new societies formed and our increasing facilities for their training and equipment. If we are doing in this generation that which can be best measured and appreciated by the next, the efforts expended by those engaged in fostering and directing these young people’s societies are of inexpressible value. The munificent gift placed upon the altar at the last General Convention, and known as the United Offering, was devoted, as is well-known, to the training and support of women workers in the missionary field. A considerable number of new workers has al­ ready been sent out in consequence, and the number will, without doubt, be largely in­ creased within the next few years. As the principal of this offering was not to be in­ vested as a permanent fund, but both principal and interest were to be expended as oc­ casion demanded, the fund will in the course of a few years be entirely used up. Let this fact be kept in mind, for then, doubtless, provision will be made in due time, in one way or another, for the support of these new workers, when the special fund to which they owed their mission has been exhausted. Perhaps it will seem wise by that time that the Woman’ s Auxiliary, which now provides for so many, shall undertake the support of all women workers in the missionary field. A review of the great work done by the women of the Church, which is estimated [including boxes] as having last year a cash value of $491,138.12, raises the question, what is being done directly and distinctly by the men. And this question reminds us of the fact, which is incidentally referred to in the report of the Secretary of the Woman’s Auxiliary, that not alone in the general missionary work of the Church, but in much of our local work, in parish and in mission station, the burden largely rests upon the women. This is no strange thing; for missionary work is the cleaning up of life, in the heart and in the conduct, and clean-ups, we all know, whether material, moral or relig­ ious, generally owe their inception and their inspiration to women. We all well remember when any immunity which decent people enjoyed from spitting in the street-cars was secured “ out of respect to the ladies,” as the superintendents of street railway companies, with happy insight, effectively phrased their request. And so the civic clubs which have provided boxes for rubbish at the street corners of some of our cities, and thus rid the streets of at least some of their filth, were set on foot by women. But here is the encour­ aging fact, viz., that what women began men have taken up, and now Boards of Health and city councils command what women asked. So we would have the women, who are engaged in the religious and missionary work of the Church, not be weary in well doing nor doubt, first, that men are more in sympathy with them than they seem, and second, that from the women interest in religion and missions will extend more and more to fathers and brothers, husbands and sons. As this wholesome process extends farther and farther, and waxes stronger and stronger, we shall approach nearer and nearer to the realization of the bold hope expressed by the report that a happy future may find the Lenten gift of the whole Church, and not that of the Sunday-schools alone, devoted on Easter-Day to the work of missions. Then many of our Easter gifts for church adornment and the like will seem to contain too much of the element of self-pleasing to be appropriate to the festival of Him who pleased not Himself. But the time for urging this is not yet. Local parish obligations must in many of our congregations have the first place, for the struggle with many of them is the struggle for existence. Statistics may not have much place in a cursory review; but in studying the care­ fully tabulated statement of contributions appended to the report of the Woman’s Auxil­ iary, we are amazed at the grand total for the year [including the United Offering of 1898], $312,626.50. It is the last thing in the report, modestly placed, but it is the record of a mighty triumph. It presses hard upon the total sum at the disposal of the Board of Missions for their entire work. The “ specials” included in the report, not passing through the treasury of the Board, are $118,807.22. The Diocese of New York takes the lead in the amount of work done, viz., one-sixth of the grand total; while the

PROCEEDINGS OF THE MISSIONARY COUNCIL. Diocese o f Connecticut has the honor of reporting the greatest proportionate number of parishes working with the Auxiliary. There is something like a touch of sentiment in the table of statistics, in that it puts the last offering toward the United Offering Fund as coming from Joppa, Palestine. There the vision came to St. Peter, concerning the Gospel to the Gentiles, and the vision still prevails. W il l ia m H . H a r e , R . W . Cl a r k ,

The reading of the report was followed by an address by the Rev. Dr. J. S. Stone, and on his motion it was Resolved: That the report of the Woman’ s Auxiliary and the report of the special committee upon that report are hereby commended, with grateful appreciation of the work of the women, to the careful attention of the Church.

The Bishop of Tennessee presented the following report: REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON REPORT OF COMMISSION FOR WORK AMONG COLORED PEOPLE.

Your committee have carefully examined the report of the Commission for Work among the Colored People, and are glad to note the evidences of slowly but surely in­ creasing interest and activity in this part of the Domestic mission field. It is plain to your committee that the appointment of a special commission for the Colored work has accomplished results that are in many ways most gratifying, even though they can hardly be called commensurate with the vast importance of the need. The early election of a field secretary, or agent of the Commission, for arousing interest and solicit­ ing offerings, is greatly to be desired. Your committee note with pleasure that the appropriations by the Board of Manaagers for the year beginning September 1st, 1899, have been increased to $62,000. This is an insignificant amount of money compared with the appropriations for other purposes, but it is a great improvement on the $16,000 of a few years ago. And it ought to be understood that it does not include the special offerings of authorized auxiliaries like St. Augustine’s League, New York, and St. Monica’s League, Washington. The report of the Commission contains a table of offerings and of baptisms and com­ municants among Colored congregations, and we are assured that in every southern dio­ cese the work is steadily growing in strength and self-dependence. The net increase of communicants for the past year is 708. Your committee would emphasize the educational side of the Colored work as of su­ preme importance, and would call the special attention of the Council to the wisdom of increasing in every way the efficiency of the Church’s industrial schools at Raleigh, North Carolina, and Lawrenceville, Virginia, which, to quote the report of the Commission, are only less influential than Hampton and Tuskegee, because they have not received the same material support from our Churchpeople that is given by Churchmen to these outside institutions. Your committee heartily commend the work of the two theological seminaries, King Hall, Washington, D.C., and the Bishop Payne Divinity-school, Petersburg, Vir­ ginia. Your committee desire also to express their cordial recognition of the plan of work inaugurated at Hoffman Hall, Nashville, Tennessee. This institution is not a theological seminary, but a Church Hall for Colored men of superior class, who are pursuing regular courses of study in Fisk University. Well-equipped with substantial buildings, repre­

senting a plant worth some $25,000, within the precincts of a large university of more than 850 students and professors, Hofiman Hall gives promise of most important and farreaching results, not only in the training and instruction of its own students, but also in the exercise of influence upon a great body of representative Colored men in the South. Where so many Colored men are entering the professions of law and medicine, and are being trained as teachers, and where at present it is impossible for our own Church to build and endow a university, it is most desirable that this leading class should be brought within the sphere of the Church’s influence, to become efficient clergymen and well-trained laymen, understanding the needs of their people and able to meet them. We note that Hoffman Hall is the only one of the Church’ s educational institutions among Colored people for the support of which no appropriation is made by the Com­ mission. Tour committee beg to offer the following resolutions, viz. : (1) Resolved: That the present appropriation of $62,000 for work among the Col­ ored people is a totally inadequate expression of the interest that should be taken by Churchmen in this most important work. (2) Resolved : That the Missionary Council assures the Commission for Work among Colored people of its hearty support, and urges the speedy appointment of a field secre­ tary or agent to present this cause to the people of the Church.

After an address by the Bishop of North Carolina, the resolutions appended to the report were adopted. The Bishop of West Virginia presented the following report: REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON THE REPORT OF THE AMERICAN CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIETY.

The committee to whom was referred the fortieth annual report of the executive committee of the American Church Missionary Society have carefully examined the same, and in the effort to lay before the Missionary Council more of its substance than most of the members might gather for themselves from the hurried reading they may make in the midst of our busy sessions, beg leave respectfully to submit the following: The fortieth annual report of the executive committee of the American Church Mis­ sionary Society shows a most gratifying increase in receipts, they having reached the sum of $78,862.86—the largest for many years—and exceeding those of the last year by $47,177.10. Of this remarkable increase there must be put down to the credit of “ specials ” for Bra­ zil $21,936.36, most of this being for the building of churches; “ specials ” for Cuba, $8,650.13—chiefly for orphanages in Havana and Matanzas. Other £‘specials ’’ have amounted to $2,471.35; legacies have been received to the extent of $3,333.75, and also a gift of $10,000 to secure a general missionary in the Missionary District of Spokane. Meantime the income from the invested funds has amounted to $3,056.59, leaving $29,786.03, as other contributions secured from the churches for work in the Domestic field and in Cuba and Brazil. In the Domestic field there are twenty missionaries, caring for sixty-six stations, in which the number of communicants is 1,205, and the population of the various towns and communities thus reached by our ministrations amounts to 66,395. The contributions for this part of the society’s work have not been proportioned to its value or extent—the so­ ciety was originally organized to build up and care for the waste places of our land, and notwithstanding all that is now being done by local and general agencies in that land, “ the field is still pathetically large and the workmen are still painfully few.” The rela­ tion of auxiliaryship, so happily maintained with the General Board, does not release this society from the obligation to reach out and secure the co-operation of those who would, with increasing knowledge, be touched by its appeals, and of those also who, perhaps, cannot so well be reached by any other agency.

PROCEEDINGS OF TEE MISSIONARY COUNCIL.

The work in Brazil has, during the last year, been brought more prominently than ever before the Church by the election and consecration of the Rev. L. L. Kinsolving as Bishop to care for it. Great interest has been excited by the earnest appeals of the mis­ sionaries, especially those of Bishop Kinsolving, as is shown by the large contributions received for building churches, and the working force in the field has been strengthened by the addition of a Deacon and a deaconess. The results of our mission work in Bra­ zil have been at once speedy and satisfactory, and a measure of self-help has been attained which is altogether unusual in the history of missions. In Cuba the work interrupted by the war has been resumed, and with increasing needs and opportunities more liberal things have been devised. Whatever may be thought about our increased responsibilities elsewhere, there can be no doubt that we have them here. One mission was maintained during the entire war, and not only has that received new impetus with the return of peace, but elsewhere, as circumstances and means would admit, the Society has taken up the work, so that now not only in Havana, but in Ma­ tanzas and Bolondron, and Sagra la Grande, and Guantanamo, we have witness borne for Christ and the Church. But since among the children seems to lie the best hope of Christian success, the So­ ciety is making a determined effort'to open orphanages both in Havana and Matanzas. It is estimated that the war has left 250,000 orphans in the island, and the appeal from such a multitude of little destitute ones is an appeal we cannot disregard. Since property is costly and living expensive, the Cuban work, in all its branches, calls for generous special gifts and for liberal general offerings in this our time of prosperity and their time of need. The committee cannot but feel that the great measure of success which the Society has attained during the past year is largely due to the most faithful, intelligent and efficient administration of the General Secretary, the Rev. Dr. Powers. Such is a brief outline of this most interesting and encouraging report. Further to emphasize the spirit it manifests, and the facts it brings to light, your committee beg leave to offer the following resolution: Besohed: That the Missionary Council has heard with pleasure the fortieth annual report of the executive committee of the American Church Missionary Society, and. re­ joices in the evidence that report affords of the growing usefulness of the Society in the great and common work of extending the Master’s Kingdom.

After an address by the Rev. Dr. Reverdy Estill, the resolution appended to the report was adopted. The Bishop of Central Pennsylvania presented the following report: REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE REPORT OP THE AMERICAN CHURCH BUILDING FUND COMMISSION.

The committee to whom was referred the nineteenth annual report of the American Church Building Fund Commission desires, first of all, to express its gratification in find­ ing that the funds of the Commission are steadily increasing, and that the scope and use­ fulness of this very important missionary agency are^more and more manifest. It notes that the Commission has assisted during the past year in the building of many churches in various parts of our country by loans aggregating the sum of $18,225, and by gifts to

PROCEEDINGS OF THE MISSIONARY COUNCIL.

27

the amount of $5,050. These gifts have been distributed among thirty-two churches, and, by the unprecedented number of such gifts, mark an important and commendable progress in the work of the Commission. The first gift made to build a church in a for­ eign land was the grant of $300 to Bishop McKim for a chapel at Kurvana, Japan. In­ deed, there has been a lessened demand for loans and an increasing call for small gifts. This is perhaps in part due to better times, but' we should hail it as an excellent indica­ tion of the fact that the Commission is gradually approaching the realization of its origi­ nal purpose. For we should remember that the fund was established to provide an in­ come which could be donated to aid in erecting churches, the permission to loan, under well-defined conditions, to^ churches in course of erection, being subsidiary to the main purpose. Your committee, while commending the wise and'economical management that has marked the administration of the fund, feels that the time has now come to urge the consideration of two changes—one of a constitutional character, the other simply finan­ cial. In accordance with the provisions of the present charter, the Commission is com­ pelled to restrict all loans and gifts to the building of churches only. It has been widely felt for some years that the building of rectories is often as important a missionary work as the erection of churches. And it will be remembered that this desire found expression at the last General Convention by the passage of a resolution that the charter be so modi­ fied by the Legislature of New York as to remove this restriction. We desire to empha­ size at this time the importance of such modification. In the next place, your committee is strongly of the opinion that the rate of interest whiclfhas been invariably maintained, namely, six per cent., is too high, especially when it is considered that rates have generally fallen, and that money can be had from trust companies, banks and private individuals for five or even four per cent, on the best class of security. We believe a lower rate would not only greatly increase the usefulness of the Commission, by commending it to a larger number of mission churches which need such help, but would also result in making the Building Fund Commission the recipient of an increased number of gifts from parishes and individuals, by removing an objection which is so frequently urged by those who desire to see this admirable adjunct of our missionary work cordially and universally supported. Finally, your committee would renew, with all the earnestness in* its power, the recommendation of the General Conventiontand the'request of all the Bishops, that every parish of our Church contribute annually to this Church Building Fund. It appears from the report before us that not one parish in twenty contributes to this object. The third Sunday in November has been recommended as the day on which such united offerings might be made; and if thiB rule had been observed, we should have had by this time the $1,000,000 aimed at. Despite the indifference in many dioceses and the failure in all strictly to carry out the request which has come'to us by the highest authority we can recognize, it is most encouraging to note that more than one-third of the desired million has been secured. A more general observance of this bounden duty, supplemented as it is sure to be by generous legacies and bequests in the wills of the faithful laity, will soon result in the completion of a fund destined to bless for all coming time in rich spiritual results those who'have aided in this good work. Your committee therefore submits the following resolutions: Resolved : That it is the opinion of this Missionary Council, as it was that of our last General Convention, that the Commission should apply for and secure such enlargement or amendment of its charter as may empower it to grant loans or gifts for the building of rectories. Resolved: That the Commission be respectfully requested to consider the^desirability of lowering the rate of interest to a rate not exceeding four per cent. Resolved: That this Council, grateful for the increase during the past' year, again

renews the recommendation of 1880, made by the Bishops, and again emphasized at our last General Convention, that every parish in the Church contribute one offering annually to this fund. E th elb brt T albot, Edw ard

After an address by the Rev. Dr. E. S. Lines and a general discussion of the subject, the resolutions appended to the report were seriatim, adopted. The noon hour having arrived, the Council was bid to prayer by the Bishop of Minnesota, in the chair. The order of the day being called for, the Rev. Dr. Edward Abbott ad­ dressed the Council upon his observation of the Japan mission. On motion of the Bishop of Delaware, it was Resolved: That the Bishop presiding over this Council be requested to convey to the honored Bishop of this diocese the assurance of our profound sympathy with him, with his family, and with his diocese in the recent death of his beloved wife, whose pres­ ence and wise, efficient work for the Church were always a grateful inspiration to the many who had the privilege of her acquaintance and friendship.

On motion of the Bishop of Springfield it was Resoloed: That the vice-president of the Board of Managers, the Bishop of Albany, be and is hereby requested to convey to Bishop Schereschewsky the affectionate sympathy of this Missionary Council, and to assure him of their respect for him personally and their appreciation of his valuable labors in the work of translation, and their earnest prayer that his life and strength may long be spared to help the Church on earth in her work of evangelizing the heathen.

The Bishop of Delaware presented the following report, the resolutions ap­ pended to which were adopted: REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE REPORT OF OTHER RECOGNIZED AUXILIARIES OF THE BOARD OF MISSIONS.

To your committee now reporting has been assigned the consideration of matters ap­ pertaining to three of the recognized auxiliaries of the Board of Missions, namely, (1) the Church Society for Promoting Christianity amongst the Jews, (2) the Church Missions Publishing Company and (3) the Assyrian Mission Committee. In connection with the first two named auxiliaries, we have had laid before us the annual reports of their operations. In connection with the third, we have not been so favored. It will be within the recollection of some members of this Council that, during the past two or three years, the work of evangelizing the Jews has been the subject of con­ siderable debate, the outcome of which was the passage at Milwaukee, in 1897, of the fol­ lowing resolutions, namely: “ Resolved: That a committee of three Bishops, three clergymen, and three laymen be appointed by the chair to consider the subject of further Church work among the Jews, with a view of determining (1) whether the work should be put under the charge and direction of the Board of Managers, or (2) continued by the present Society for Pro­ moting Christianity amongst the Jews, or (3) relegated to the various diocesan or local agencies or organizations for diocesan mission work.

“ Resolved: That this committee report to the next General Convention sitting as a Board of Missions.” In accordance with these instructions, the committee made a report to the Triennial Meeting in 1899, giving the views of the committee on the work of the Society aforesaid. This report of the committee, with the resolutions attached, was referred to the Board of Managers to take such action in the premises as might, in their judgment, appear most expedient. So far as we are now informed, no such action has been recommended or taken. Under these circumstances, it does not seem to your committee advisable to sug­ gest any specific action on the part of the Missionary Council. Tet we are by no means indifferent to the gratifying character of the results which are, by God’ s grace, still attained by the few zealous laborers engaged in this most dif­ ficult and onerous work. These laborers belong almost exclusively to the cities of New York and Philadelphia, and they are, we believe, fully deserving of our confidence and sympathy. In the former city, the chief work is in connection with an industrial home and school. In Philadelphia, the work chiefly centres in Emmanuel House, which is more and more visited by Jewish men and women, especially from among the youth of that race. During the present year, nearly a hundred applicants for admission have had to be de­ nied entrance for lack of room. The influence for good and the actual beneficent conse­ quences of this mission are being more and more widely acknowledged and gratefully ap­ preciated. It may be a source of surprise to many of those who know the prejudice, and ani­ mosity even, aroused among the Jews in general by any attempt to Christianize any of their number, that, notwithstanding such hindrances, there should be so many of their children in our mission schools. The explanation may be largely found in the fact that there is already a widely-extended amount of rank atheism and blatant infidelity among all classes of the Jews. It is happily because the parents would rather have the children taught the tenets of Christianity than be exposed to the pernicious influence of those who would rob them of many truths just as dear to them as to us. In view of these facts and of other similar ones which might be adduced, your com­ mittee feel that the mind of the Church should be directed anew to the importance and obligatory character of the work, which we cannot but believe, reverently, must be very near to the heart of the adorable Son of the holy Jewish maiden. The work of what is now known as the Church Missions Publishing Company has been considerably enlarged during the past year in the way of furnishing information to those desirous of pursuing the study of the missionary history of the Church. It should be considered a cause for much gratification that evidence is thus afforded of a widening attention to one of the most important and helpful courses of study that can be suggested. We must be very desirous that all encouragement and help that may be possible shall be afforded to a still larger number of students. To this end, it is needful that additional pecuniary means should be put at the use of this Publishing Company, that the increased demands likely to be made upon them for publications may be promptly and fully met. In regard to the work of the Assyrian Mission Committee, it is understood that a native Persian, educated largely in the United States, has lately gone to this field, under the auspices of this committee, and mainly by funds contributed by and through mem­ bers of the General Theological Seminary. The mission is under the direct charge of the Archbishop of Canterbury. This fact will, naturally enough, help to ensure for it the confidence, as we hope it will also the practical aid, of American Churchmen. It is one full of interest, and yet beset with difficulties of a peculiar character, and we must all feel solicitous that in its prosecution the committee will, with all their natural zeal, be prudent and conservative. Since writing the above, your committee have received from

Although the death of Dr. Langford seemed a loss irreparable, yet the work, under God, has gone prosperously on, and the Acting Secretary has performed every duty required of him with the utmost zeal and fidelity.

On motion of the Bishop of Missouri, the Council took a recess until 8 p . m . On reassembling, after the usual prayers and singing, the following resolu­ tions, offered by the Rev. 0. L. Mallory, were adopted : Resolved: That it is the sense of this Council that the opening service of the Mission­ ary Council should be as short as is consistent with dignity and propriety, Resobed: That it is the sense of this Council that it is highly desirable that there should be a corporate communion of the members of the Missionary Council, coupled with special intercessions in behalf of missions, at an early hour on the second day of the session. Resolved: That these resolutions be referred to the Committee of Arrangements for the next Missionary Council.

On motion of the Rev. Dr. Anstice, it was Resobed: That the committee required by the Missionary Canon to arrange an order of work for the next Missionary Council be appointed by the chair.

The chair appointed as such committee : The Bishop of Pennsylvania, the Bishop of New Jersey, the Rev. Dr. Anstice, the Rev. Dr. Christian, Mr. Ryerson, and Mr. Mansfield. The Bishop of Missouri, in behalf of the Bishop of Ohio, presented the fol­ lowing; the resolutions appended thereto were adopted : THE

VOICELESS MINISTRY.

For many centuries deaf-mutes were isolated from educational and spiritual oppor­ tunities. From the nature of their deprivation, the isolation necessarily remains, even

with all the blessings that education now brings them. For instance, the daily flow of intellectual and religious thought from tongue to ear passes them by. But God has wisely provided a language for the eye. We have seen that our blessed Lord Himself used signs before saying “ Ephphatha ” to the deaf man, thus giving, as we believe, the seal of His sanction to the means employed by the Church to interpret her Prayer Book services and preach the Gospel. Two beginnings of great value to the deaf-mutes of the United States belong to the nineteenth century. Eighty years ago their first school was opened at Hartford. To­ day, we count over an hundred from one ocean to the other. Since then, the hand of the teacher has been busy opening the way for this blessed work of the Church. Without this essential preparation, an intelligent response to her “ Ephphatha” is not to be expected. This explains why this “ silent” ministry was not attempted before the day of deaf-mute education. Any one blessed with hearing and living in a Christian community easily learns of God and the work of His Son, even if he never goes to school. He hears the preacher. The open ear absorbs much knowledge. But the deaf-mute must go to school and be taught laboriously before he is able to grasp the same truths. This “ voiceless ministry” originated fifty years ago, with the starting of a Bibleclass in New York city. To-day witnesses a great growth. Besides the churches of St. Ann’s, New York, and All Souls’, Philadelphia, we see missions in almost every other large city, East, West and North. But these missions are served by a handful of missionaries travelling over immense districts, reminding one of apostolic times. Instead of this arrangement, each diocese and large city should have its own missionary Priest to look after the widelyscattered deaf. So large a field calls for much travel and some economy of time and means, and some better administration of the general work. In conclusion, we desire to say that our silent brethren who are blessed by this min­ istry of the Church give freely of their small earnings toward its support. They also send offerings to the Missions House in New York for the Domestic and Foreign field, also to diocesan treasuries. Of course they are small, inasmuch as deaf-mutes are of the working classes; few, and much scattered. The loss of an important faculty prevents participation in mercantile pursuits. They, we know, would gladly undertake to bear all the expense of maintaining the mission themselves, if they were able to, but they are not. This work belongs not to sections, but to the whole Church. Originally, about twenty-five years ago, a society, known as the “ Church Mission to Deaf-Mutes,” was recognized by the Board of Missions. Now it is an eastern organization. We want the mothering of the entire body, and so come here with the following resolutions: Resolved: That the society known as the Church Mission to Deaf-Mutes, which is now prosecuting its work among the silent people in the eastern part of this country, be requested to broaden its sphere, so as to include such efforts throughout the Republic and then to seek auxiliary relations with the Board of Missions. Resolved: That to bring about such consolidation of interests, the Board of Man­ agers be respectfully requested by this Council to enter into communication with the above-named society, as in their wisdom may seem best.

By permission of the Council, the Rev. A. D. Gring, one of the Church’s missionaries to Japan, addressed the Council. The closing address was made by the Bishop of Central Pennsylvania, and, after prayers and benediction by the Bishop of Minnesota, the Council stood adjourned sine die. H e n b y A jtstice,

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MANAGERS TO THE NINTH MEETING OF THE MISSIONARY COUNCIL With Accompanying Documents. T h e Board of Managers respectfully presents to the Missionary Council its report for the fiscal year 1898-99. To set forth in one document “ such an outline of the missionary work prosecuted during the year as may serve to give a comprehensive view of the progress, prospects, and present condition of the work of the Society in the several parts of the Domestic and Foreign field,” requires a volume like this, so great, so diversified is the work to-day as compared with the feeble beginnings almost eight decades since, and yet it is not nearly so great as it would be if the demands of the several fields be taken into consideration and the measure of our Lord’s command, “ Occupy till I com e/5be regarded. The Board con­ tents itself, therefore, as usual, by including in this report only such matters as pertain to the immediate interest of this Council and submits herewith the fol­ lowing documents which, taken together with it, make the complete showing required by the Constitution of the Society :* The Eeport of the Treasurer. The annual report on Domestic Missions, to which is appended the reports of the several Bishops, of the Missionary Districts in the United States. The annual report on Foreign Missions, to which is appended the reports of the Bishops of the Foreign Jurisdictions and of the Bishop of the Church in Haiti, and the report of the Presbyter of this Church in Mexico. The Report on Trust Funds. The Reports of Recognized Auxiliaries. OBGANIZATION.

Under authority conferred by a joint resolution of the General Convention in Washington, the Associate Secretary called the new Board together for or­ ganization on November 2d at the Church Missions House in New York. The list of members, together with the list of those members of the Missionary Council selected by the General Convention, duly attested by the Secretary of the House of Deputies, was submitted. The officers of the previous Board held over until the stated meeting of December 13th, when they were re-elected. At the two meetings mentioned the by-laws were re-enacted. At the former there was, moreover, laid before the Board all of the action of the General Convention and of the Board of Missions which pertained to the work of the Society. Some of this action required consideration by the Board of Managers. This will be dwelt upon beyond. * Canon 7, of Title III. of the Digest. 32

CHANGES IN MEMBERSHIP.

The Right Rev. John Williams, d .d . , l l . d ., presiding in the House of Bishops since April, 1887, and therefore president of this Society and of its Board of Managers during the same term, departed this life on February 7th, last. By reason of his succession the Right Rev. Thomas March Clark, d . d ., Bishop of Rhode Island, became president. The Right Rev. Dr. Pierce, Bishop of Ar­ kansas, an ex-officio member, died on September 5th, of this year. Of the elected members the Hon. Benjamin Stark died on October 10th, 1898, Gen­ eral Selden E. Marvin on January 19th, and Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt on Sep­ tember 12th, ultimo. General Marvin had been a member of the Board since January 8th, 1889. Messrs. Stark and Vanderbilt had been members of the Board of Managers since it was instituted in Boston in 1877, and the former had been a member of the old Board of Missions since 1868, and of the Indian Commission from 1871 until it was discontinued in 1877. At the meeting of the present Board of Managers for organization, held on November 2d, Mr. Henry E. Pellew, because the state of his health would not permit acceptance, declined his election by the General Convention, and Mr. Burton Mansfield was chosen in his room. On March 14th, Mr. John I. Thompson was elected to membership The following ex-officio members have been added by reason of consecra­ tion to the Episcopate : The Right Rev. Dr. Horner, Bishop of Asheville, De­ cember 28th; the Right Rev. Dr. Edsall, Bishop of North Dakota, January 25th; the Right Rev. Dr. Moreland, Bishop of Sacramento, January 25th; the Right Rev. Dr. T. N. Morrison, Bishop of Iowa, February 22d; the Right Rev. James Bowen Funsten, Bishop of Boise, July 13th. CHANGES IN THE MISSIONARY CANON.

The changes in the Constitution of the Society (contained in Canon 7, Title III. of the Digest), made at the last General Convention were as follows : The requirement that the Board of Managers should select members to fill va­ cancies from the Missionary Council was stricken out. An addition was made to Article VI. of a requirement that in all missionary jurisdictions titles to Church property and funds not distinctly parochial should be reported and copies of all deeds forwarded to the Board of Managers by the Bishop concerned. And further, a requirement that each Missionary Bishop should annually report to the Board of Managers all contributions received for his work other than those paid over by the Treasurer of the Board. The provision that the Board should have power to appoint local agents was modified by striking out the word “ local.” Under this last change the Board of Managers in November appointed the Rev. Dr. Herman L. Duhring as its special agent for promoting the Lenten Offering Plan, and by the kindness of the Treasurer in providing the means he made a long and successful journey covering the Pacific slope. CHANGES IN THE MISSIONARY DISTRICTS.

Very extensive changes were made by the House of Bishops at the time of the last General Convention in the delimitations of several of the Domestic Missionary Districts and one of the Foreign jurisdictions was divided. The changes in this country will be clearly shown to the eye in the outline map sub­

mitted to the Council with the report on Domestic Missions. For the purpose of permanent record among the archives of the Society they are here given as certified by the Rev. Dr. Samuel Hart, secretary of the House of Bishops. The bounds of the former Missionary District of The Platte were changed by the addition of all that portion of the State of Wyoming lying east of the west lines of the counties of Sheridan, Johnson, Natrona and Carbon—to be here­ after called the Missionary District of Laramie, the Right Rev. Dr. Anson R. Graves to be in charge, with the title Missionary Bishop of Laramie. The bounds of the former Missionary District of Nevada and Utah were enlarged so as to include the State of Utah, with all that portion of the State of Nevada lying east of the west lines of the counties of Elko, White Pine, Eu­ reka, Lincoln, Lander, and Nye, together with that portion of the county of Uintah in the State of Wyoming, lying south of the forty-one and one-half de­ gree of latitude, added to which was the whole of the former Missionary Dis­ trict of Western Colorado; the Right Rev. Dr. Abiel Leonard to be in charge, with title the same as the name of the district so constituted—the Missionary Bishop of Salt Lake. The former District of Northern California was enlarged by adding that portion of the State of Nevada lying west of the west lines of the counties of Elko, White Pine, Eureka, Lincoln, Lander, and Nye; the name changed to the Missionary District of Sacramento and the title of the Bishop to be conse­ crated for it to correspond. The former Missionary District of Idaho was altered by providing that a new missionary district should be erected, to be known as Boise, with the title of the Bishop to be consecrated to correspond, which should include all that portion of the State of Idaho lying south and east of the southern and eastern lines of the county of Idaho; all that portion of the State of Wyoming lying west of the west lines of the counties of Sheridan, Johnson, Natrona and Car­ bon, except so much of the county of Uintah as was previously mentioned. The former Missionary District of Spokane was enlarged by adding that por­ tion of the State of Idaho lying north of the south line of the county of Idaho; the Right Rev. Dr. Lemuel H. Wells to remain in charge without change of title. Accompanying this was the notification of the election of the four Bishops of missionary districts whose names and jurisdictions have already been men­ tioned. With regard to the Foreign field, the Secretary stated “ that the House of Bishops had placed the Missionary District of Kyoto, in the islands of Japan, which has been duly constituted by the action of the General Convention, un­ der the charge of the Bishop of Tokyo.” The lines of the new missionary dis­ trict are conterminous with those of the diocese of the Japan Church known by the same name, and have been clearly shown in a map published in the Jan­ uary number of T h e S p i r i t o f M is s i o n s .

The Board of Missions in Washington by resolution requested the Board of Managers to consider the wisdom and advantage of appointing such addi­

tional aecretary or secretaries as may be needed, and by another resolve it was requested “ to take into consideration the advisability of increasing the number of workers in the New York office; of electing two or more secretaries instead of one; and of widening the scope and plan of T h e S p i r i t of M i s s io n s into something more approaching the character of a magazine of national impor­ tance.” And again it was requested to consider the advisability of the appoint­ ment of a field secretary to deepen and quicken the interest of the Church in the work among the Colored people. The reference to T h e S p i r i t of M is s io n s will be dwelt upon under the caption “ Publications ” beyond. The Board having delegated its powers with regard to the work among Colored people to the Commission, the question of a field secretary was referred to them. The re­ maining portions of the resolutions cited immediately became matter for seri­ ous consideration. Some increase has been made in the office staff. In Jan­ uary the By-Laws were so changed as to provide for a new officer to be known as the Corresponding Secretary, and at the same meeting M r. John W. Wood, General Secretary of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, was elected to the posi­ tion, of which he has not yet signified his acceptance. The Bev. Dr. John S. Lindsay, rector of St. Paul’s Church, Boston, and the Bev. D r. Reese F . Alsop, rector of St. Ann’s Church, Brooklyn, were in turn elected to the office of General Secretary, which each declined. At the meeting held on the 10th in­ stant, the Rev. Arthur S. Lloyd, d . d ., rector of St. Luke’s Church, Norfolk, Va., was elected to that office. Pending the election of a General Secretary, the Board, on March 13th, by resolution constituted an Executive Committee consisting of the Bishops of Albany, Kentucky and Pennsylvania, to whom was entrusted the headship of the office to devise and recommend plans of operation and to supervise the operations of the Board, submitting to the Board for its approval all important measures, except that in cases of emergency they were empowered to act with the approval of the Advisory Committee. This committee reported that they had appointed Bishops and other representative clergymen to visit thirty-seven diocesan conventions during the spring and early summer; first, to appeal for a revival of interest in the general missionary work of the Church, and, sec­ ondly, to arrange for the creation of a central committee in each diocese, to be the means of continuous communication between the Board of Managers and the Bishops and clergy. They also united with the Associate Secretary in send­ ing out to a large number of individuals in the Church a specific appeal for contributions during the summer months, to forestall a deficit of $35,000, which was threatened on June 1st, should the offerings for July and August not ex­ ceed those of the corresponding months last year. NEW POSSESSIONS.

While greatly interested in the subject of mission work in the new posses­ sions of the United States, and while it has had the matter seriously under discussion a number of times, all that the Board has been able to accomplish up to this date is the confirmation of the appointment and the support on April 11th of the Rev. George B. Pratt at San Juan, Porto Rico, who was selected by the Bishop of Chicago in charge of the work and the provision of a salary

for another clergyman in the same island. At its first meeting, last November, the Board was advised of the action of the General Convention constituting a joint commission to consist of three Bishops, three Presbyters and three laymen, to whom should be referred the question of responsibilities growing out of the increased territory assumed, or to be assumed, by this government, with instructions to ascertain by correspondence and, if practica­ ble, by personal visitation, all available facts in the case, and to report to the Board of Managers such facts, with any recommendations which they might think it expedient to make. One of the resolutions requested the Board of Missions to take such action with regard to Porto Bico as, after conference with the Bishop of Antigua, might be deemed practicable and desirable. The Board of Managers proceeded to act under this resolution, when it was learned that the commission, through one of its episcopal members, was already in correspond­ ence with the Bishop of Antigua. Several tentative reports have been received from the commission, who are still actively pursuing the duties laid upon them by the Convention. The resolution referring to the work of the Church in Hawaii directed that consideration of the spiritual jurisdiction should be postponed until conference should be had with the authorities of the Church of England. The Church work in Cuba already had been well begun by the Board's auxiliary, the American Church Missionary Society, before the war with Spain and was not entirely suspended during its continuance. Several reports on the subject have been submitted to the Church during the year, through the Board, by the Secretary of that Society, and at the May meeting the Executive Com­ mittee of the Commission on Increased Eesponsibilities, acting for themselves and with the authority of the other members of the Commission, set forth an appeal for $30,000 to establish an orphanage for the care of some of the desti­ tute children in Cuba; the Board formally expressing its endorsement and sympathy with the movement thus brought to its attention. WORK AMONG COLORED PEOPLE.

Among other resolutions which came down from the Board of Missions were two with regard to work among the Colored people. The first seemed al­ most mandatory, being in the following terms: Resolved: That the appropriation for this work be continued at $70,000, and that the Board of Managers be urged to include this sum in its annual budget.

At the December meeting the report of the committee to whom the sub­ ject had been referred was submitted in the following terms: The Advisory Committee beg to remind the Board of Managers that p ra ctic a lly '' the appropriation to the Colored work has never been $70,000. It is true that a resolution fixing the appropriation at that amount was passed by the Board of Missions [in Minne­ apolis], but the Board of Managers was not able to carry such action into effect, and in its last report it explained that it ‘ ‘ found itself unable in its then fiscal condition to do more than to make appropriations from quarter to quarter, and could not, in justice to other portions of the work, make an exception in this direction.” The appropriation for the present fiscal year [that which ended August 31st, 1899] to this department . . . was made at $56,000 as before.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MANAGERS.

37

On the recommendation of the Advisory Committee, the Board then passed the following resolution : Resolved : That the schedule of appropriations for the current year having already been adopted, and no larger contributions having been received for Colored Missions than heretofore, the Board deems it inexpedient to modify its previous action by way of in­ creasing the appropriation placed at the discretion of the Commission on Work among the Colored People at this time.

The appropriation for the present fiscal year, 1899-1900, has been increased to $62,000, at the request of the Commission. The second of the Board of Missions’s resolutions above spoken of declared “ that the time had arrived when the Board of Missions should make provision for the establishment of a school of suitable equipment at some central place in the South for the religious, literary and industrial training of Colored youths.” The Board of Missions, however, made no such provision. In another connec­ tion, later in the year, a somewhat similar question came before the Board of Managers, when it expressed its opinion that, in its judgment, the educational standard of King Hall, at Washington, for the preparation of young Colored men for the Ministry, should not be lowered. At its first meeting the Board of Managers reconstituted the Commission on Work among the Colored People by the election of the following members : The Bishops of Kentucky, Ohio, North Carolina, Georgia, and Washington ; the Rev. Drs. McKim, Mackay-Smith, B. D. Tucker and Greer ; and Messrs. John A. King, J. Bancroft Davis, H. E. Pellew, Joseph Bryan and John Wilkes. One vacancy was purposely left, to fill which in May the Rev. Henry Beard Delaney was chosen, upon the nomination of the Commission, as the representative of the Colored race ; the place in that body formerly occupied by the Rev. Dr. Crummell, deceased. PROPOSED M ISSIONARY COLLEGE OR TRAINING

SCHOOL.

The Board of Missions clothed this Board “ with power, to consider the de­ sirability and practicability of establishing a missionary college or trainingschool for the preparation of clergymen and other persons who volunteer for missionary work.” Two months later, after the matter had been considered by a special committee, the Board made the following declaration : That it was the unanimous opinion of the members that our existing the­ ological seminaries should be required to provide elective courses especially adapted to the need of those students who are looking forward to the mission­ ary work, and post-graduate courses for those who, after ordination, have felt moved to fit themselves for special service either in the Foreign or the Domestic field. To meet the needs of women desirous of becoming missionaries the ex­ isting training-schools for deaconesses, or the Church hospitals in Philadelphia and elsewhere should provide special courses. Since that time a number of women looking to missionary work at home and abroad have been in training in the Church Deaconess House in Philadel­ phia and other institutions, some of whom have already proceeded to their posts of duty.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MANAGERS. RECOGNIZED A U X IL IA R IE S .

Without attempting to rehearse the many highly appreciated benevolences of the Woman's Auxiliary in the past, the Board of Managers immediately would speak of the beneficence of the United Offering of 1898, amounting to the munificent total of $82,818.86. It is difficult to estimate adequately the amount of good that will be done to the Church by the expenditure of this sum of money, not only while it lasts, but in its ulterior results for many years to come. There have been appointed already under this provision, to the Do­ mestic and Foreign field, no less than forty women, who are working, as representatives of the contributors to the fund, all over this country and in distant lands. The first appointed were Dr. Mary V. Glenton and Miss Pauline A. Osgood, both to the China mission, on November 2d, last. The former of these came under the specific provision of one of the contributors. There was an amount specially designated for Brazil which, by order of the Board, was paid over to the Bishop exercising jurisdiction in that republic. In order that there might be intelligent and consistent action in all cases, the Board in con­ ference with the proper committee of the Woman's Auxiliary adopted a series of rules for the expenditure of this United Offering, which have been published to the Church, and which up to this time have been found to work most harmoniously. The liberal pledge of a layman of the diocese through the Bishop of New York for the support of the Bishop of Alaska for three years having been fully re­ deemed, it was ordered by the Board of Missions (in Washington) that the sal­ ary of the Bishop of Alaska should hereafter be provided from the income, so far as it would go, of the Woman's Auxiliary Missionary Episcopate Fund of three years earlier, and that the deficit should be taken from the income of the $20,000 given by the Auxiliary as their United Offering in 1892 toward the En­ rolment Fund. During the year now elapsed the New York branch of the Aux­ iliary, or more strictly speaking that portion of it known as the Woman's Com­ mittee on Work for Foreign Missionaries, have contributed, over and above their usual contributions for the current work, $3,870.06 upon their pledge for the completion of St. Paul’s College buildings, Tokyo. Through the Pennsyl­ vania branch have come $5,000 for a Bishop's house, Spokane ; $1,800 to build a church in Africa ; $1,500 for St. John's Chapel, Hankow, and $1,000 for St. Augustine's, Ealeigh, North Carolina. Through the Long Island branch $400 has come to complete one of the buildings of St. Paul's School, Lawrenceville, Virginia. A godly woman of the Diocese of Pittsburgh has given $8,800 to build and endow a school and home for untainted children of lepers in south-eastern China (under a Church of England missionary) besides which, in small sums from all over the country, has come $2,500 to build a house in Hankow which is to be the centre of the first organized woman's work at that important interior station. So much for material edifices. Toward the living work the Pennsylvania branch gave $500 each to South Carolina, Southern Florida and Southern Virginia for work among the Colored People and $1,000 (a thank-offering) toward the salary of a Missionary Bishop : Two individual members in New York and Western New York have each paid their annual pledge of $3,000 for a Missionary Bishop’s salary. The Christian woman in Pittsburgh before spoken of has given

$10,000, the income of which is to support a missionary in the District of Spo­ kane, $5,000 to establish and carry on the industry of lace-making by Indian wom.9n in the Rev. J. W. Cook's mission in South Dakota, and $5,000 to the Rey. Henry Forrester for the work in Mexico. From the report of its Secretary, it appears that the Woman's Auxiliary contributed for the past year $229,807.64, of which sum $118,807.22 was dis­ tributed without coming into the treasury at the Church Missions House. The amounts applied by its direction toward aiding the Board in meeting the ap­ propriations were as follows : For Domestic Missions, $26,843.80; for Foreign Missions, $27,125.14. The amounts disbursed through the treasury of the Board for “ Specials," i.e., purposes not covered or contemplated by such appropria­ tions, were for the Domestic field $31,168.44; for the Foreign field, $25,863.04. In addition to these sums boxes of clothing and supplies have been sent to missionaries and institutions, of the estimated aggregate value of $178,511.62. The number of the auxiliaries has been increased by two : First. The Sunday-school Auxiliary, constituted by the Board of Missions to include the members of all Sunday-schools taking part in the Lenten Offer­ ing Plan. The total amount of the Easter offerings of the children of the Church paid into the treasury was $87,382.23, which came from 3,118 Sundayschools and from numerous individuals ; being an increase over last year of $5,600, and of eighty-seven schools. The children's offerings for the entire yóar were $94,847.97. To each school has been forwarded a beautiful lithograph certificate, printed upon plate paper and signed by the officers, in recognition of their membership, and bearing upon its face the action constituting this Auxiliary. In connection with this subject the Board of Missions furthermore recom­ mended that the Second Sunday after the Epiphany and the Monday following should be observed as special days when the missionary work of the Church should be brought before the Sunday-schools with the two-fold object of bring­ ing the duties in connection therewith more prominently before the teachers and scholars, and of increasing the interest in the Lenten Offering. The Board of Managers did what it could to promote the observance of these days by the distribution of special Orders of Service and otherwise, and is glad to report that it was very general. Attention has been called renewedly to the recur­ rence of these days in the year 1900. Second. By the recognition, on March 13th, of the Assyrian Mission Com­ mittee as an auxiliary. The name of the Junior Auxiliary Publishing Company, with the consent of the Board, has been changed (by the proper legal formalities in the State of Connecticut) to “ The Church Missions Publishing Company." At the meeting of the Board of Missions in Washington, a committee ap­ pointed by the Missionary Council of 1897 reported in favor of placing the work of promoting Christianity amongst the Jews under the charge of the Board of Managers of the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society. Upon presentation of this report a resolution was adopted referring it to the Board of Managers to take such action upon the matters as in its judgment it should deem best. A resolution was then adopted commending the Society to the sympathy and sup­

port of the clergy and laity for the next three years, for the reason that its present organization seemed to afford grounds for a reasonable expectation that its work and influence would be largely increased. The Board of Managers referred the resolution of reference to a special committee, whose chairman was the same as the chairman of the committee who brought in the report to the Board of Missions. This special committee haye not yet reported. There is, however, this to be said. The society mentioned existed as a corporation of the State of New York long before it became auxiliary to the Board, and it is apparent that, if so disposed, it is perfectly competent to main­ tain its existence, whatever conclusion may be reached by the Board of Managers. CHURCH WORK IN MEXICO.

Previous to the time of the last General Convention this Board had been lim­ ited by action of its superior body to providing for the support of, and for other expenses which might be incurred by the Presbyter nominated by the Presiding Bishop to represent this Church in Mexico, only to the extent of special contri­ butions received for that purpose. At Washington, however, the Board of Missions changed its order by the adoption of two resolutions which are here put on record to preserve the continuous history of the Board of Managers’ action. They were as follows : Resolved: That the work of the Mexican Episcopal Church, under the provisional care of our Presiding Bishop, is entitled to the largest measure of commendation and help in view of its evident increase in stability and efficiency ; and to this end the Board of Managers be requested to consider the advisability of forming from its members a committee on the work of our brethren in Mexico, who are striving to propagate the principles of pure religion among their countrymen ; Resolved: That the wise and manifold labors of the Rev. Henry Forrester as coun­ sellor and guide of our brethren in Mexico, in their missionary, educational and charitable work, have our hearty commendation; And that the Board of Managers be instructed to appoint and provide for the sup­ port of such Presbyter as may be nominated by the Presiding Bishop, and to the extent of special contributions received for that purpose for the support of the work done in the Republic of Mexico, under his guidance.

Here the Board was directed, as it interpreted the resolution, to pay the Presbyter in Mexico from general funds and to remit all contributions received for the support of the work done in the Republic of Mexico, under his guidance, in excess of his salary and expenses. At the meeting in December, therefore, the form of the Board's action was changed, and the following resolution adopted : Resolved: That the Rev. Henry Forrester, nominated by the Presiding Bishop, be appointed under the resolution of the Board of Missions as the clergyman of this Church to whom for the calendar year 1899 shall be assigned the duty of counselling and guiding the work of those Presbyters and readers in Mexico who have asked for the fos­ tering care of this Church to be extended to them.

The proviso heretofore added about his being paid from specific contributions was omitted, it will be observed.

REPORT OF T E E BOARD OF MANAGERS.

In order that there might be no dearth of funds to support the work itself, the Board adopted this further resolution : Resolved: That the Board of Managers, recognizing the great value of the work done by the women of the Church in sustaining the work in Mexico in the past, earnestly recommends the continuance of their efforts, as the mission is now entering upon a new and enlarged sphere of usefulness.

Measures were immediately taken to name a committee of ladies to co-op­ erate with this Board in raising such funds. The matter of the care of the English-speaking people in Mexico, which was the subject of one of the resolutions sent down to the Board of Managers, has also received consideration, and on the request of the Presiding Bishop an appropriation has been made to inaugurate the work, after which the Rev. Mr. Forrester is of opinion it will take care of itself. WORK AMONG THE SWEDES.

For several years past the Board has been paying the salary and expenses of a general missionary among the Swedes in the United States. He has been obliged to travel from the Eastern States to the Mississippi river, and the work has been growing all the time. By reason of having command of a special de­ posit, placed in the hands of the Treasurer during the year, contributed by a communicant whose name was never to be divulged, the Board has been able to meet the requests of the three Bishops in Minnesota for stipends for mission­ aries among the Swedish people by appropriating $1,000 for the purpose to the Missionary District of Duluth, and $500 to the Diocese of Minnesota; upon the request of the Bishop of Chicago by appropriating $500 and, later, upon the request of the Bishop of Quincy by appropriating $750. Thus it may be prop­ erly said, when we consider what is being done by the stronger dioceses in the same line, that the work is fairly inaugurated among these people who naturally in this country should come into the communion of this Church. EDUCATIONAL MISSIONS.

At the meeting in March there was submitted to the Board an earnest com­ munication from a devoted Churchwoman, asking whether it would be possible tp have a committee appointed to consider and present to the Board of Managers books and leaflets on missionary study for its approval. Such committee was constituted. Subsequently it was further referred to this committee to consider two propositions: First, in regard to the movement to arouse missionary interest among “ members of colleges and schools," and secondly, in regard to the atti­ tude of the Church toward the Student Volunteer courses of study, and the committee were asked to take such control and give such direction as might seem wise and right. While this committee have not yet reported, it is, how­ ever, at their instance that the topic “ Missionary Education ” is brought before the Missionary Council for discussion. MEMORIALS IN CHURCH MISSIONS HOUSE.

In the Board’s report last year the subject of memorials in the Church Missions House was fully dwelt upon. It only remains now to be said that dur­ ing the present year the cross in memory of the Rev. Dr. Alvi T. Twing, some­

time Secretary for Domestic Missions, has been placed upon the apex of the bnilding, and that the altar in memory of the late Doctor Langford provided by members of the Woman's Auxiliary was consecrated on All Saints' Day by the Bishop of Tokyo; the address being made by the Bishop of Alaska. Early in the year the Board felt that one more tablet was needed in the Chapel, and by its direction it was placed over the door into the robing room through which the General Secretary had so often passed to conduct the noonday ser­ vice of prayer for missions, to recognize his connection with the inception and building of the house. Such tablet has been put up, bearing the fol­ lowing inscription: “ To the Glory of God and in Loving Memory of the Rev. William Spaight Langford, d . d ., this Tablet is placed by order of the Board of Managers of the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the Protestant Episcopal Church to record the fact that to the forethought and energy of the late General Secretary are chiefly due the inception and completion of the Church Missions House.” Quite recently Mr. George C. Thomas and his wife have refurnished the nave of the Chapel by giving chairs made to their order, and the Board is indebted to the editor and publisher of the “ Hymnal of the Church with Music” for an ample supply of their books, as well as to the New York Bible and Common Prayer Book Society for additional Prayer Books. PUBLICATION'S.

In one of the resolutions sent down from the Board of Missions the Board of Managers was requested to take into consideration the advisability “ of wid­ ening the scope and plan of T h e S p i r i t o f M i s s i o n s into something more ap­ proaching the character of a magazine of national importance.” A large com­ mittee on publications was immediately appointed to consider this subject in all its bearings, but after one or two meetings this committee thought it inex­ pedient to proceed with any radical changes in the magazine until such time as the General Secretary and the Corresponding Secretary should have taken their seats. Meanwhile every effort has been made to keep the publication up to its standard and so far as possible to make each number better than the last. The present circulation is 10,548, which is a little larger than the num­ ber last reported. The total circulation of the last issues of T h e Y o u n g C h r i s t i a n S o l d i e r was 46,773, of which 36,143 were of the Monthly edition and 10,630 of the Weekly. There has been a falling off on the total circulation of 4,700. From time to time vigorous efforts have been made to increase the circulation of this children's paper, but the principal difficulty met with is that the Sundayschools throughout the country feel that its cost, although slight, is a burden upon their resources. T h e Q u a r t e r l y M e s s a g e serves a most excellent purpose of carrying to the Church at large the important announcements which otherwise would be restricted to the few, as, for instance, the programme of the present Missionary Council, and is also a convenient mode of communication with its clientage for

the Society. There have been distributed throughout the year 108,000 copies, or an increase of 3,000 as compared with the previous year. The demand for occasional publications is continuous. Upon the calls of those interested the Board has sent out for gratuitous distribution 62,000 copies of the reports published last year covering the whole scope of the Society's work in Domestic and Foreign Missions and 1,042,500 pages of pamphlets and leaf­ lets conveying specific information. a p p r o p r ia t io n s .

If mission work be successful its cost is necessarily greater year by year up to the verge of self-support, and new opportunities are ever presented. The Board reported at this time last year that it had been obliged to add about $20,000 to its appropriations, increasing the total annual budget to nearly $511,000. So great have been the increased calls that when at the May meet­ ing the subject of the annual expenditure again came under consideration appropriations were absolutely needed far in excess of this amount even, and then the demands from the field were not fully met. Since that time, too, additions have been made by new appointments in the Domestic and Foreign fields. The total amount appropriated in May and June was $525,000.00. The details of the completed budget will be published to the Church in the Advent season. f in a n c ia l

statem ent.

The gross receipts of the Society for the fiscal year which ended August 31st, including those for “ specials,” were $866,858.59. To be more specific : The contributions for the work for which the Board made itself responsible were $388,092.35; the total amount received from legacies, designated by the testators either for Domestic or Foreign Missions or for the use of the Society was $114,598.95. The total amount, therefore, that the Board was free to use in the payment of its appropriations, summed up $502,691,30. A comparison of the foregoing contributions with those of the year which ended August 31st, 1898, show a decrease for Domestic Missions of $17,741.55, an increase for Foreign Missions of $3,388.68, a decrease for General Missions of $95.52, leaving a net decrease of $14,448.39; as compared with two years ago, however, this year’s figures show an increase of $30,067.42. The number of parishes and missions which contributed to the work of this Society during the fiscal year was 3,746, or twenty-four more than the year before. The number contributing, moreover, is larger than in any previous year, and the Church offerings are larger than in any year save last year. All liabilities to August 31st, 1899, have been provided for. In addition to the foregoing receipts, legacies to the amount of $15,580 were passed through the books during the year which, according to the terms of the bequests, were permanently invested. The cost of administering the af­ fairs of the Society and of making the work known to the Church was six and one-tenth per cent, of the receipts for Missions, or five and one-tenth per cent, of all the receipts by the Treasurer, including subscriptions for the stated pub­ lications and money received for miscellaneous purposes. Further details will appear in the Treasurer's reports, which are appended.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MANAGERS. THE CENTENNIAL OF THE CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIETY.

In this, the eightieth year of the corporate existence of the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of this Church, the Board of Managers cannot close its report without noting ths fact that the Church Missionary Society of the Mother Church on the 13th of April last and following days commemorated with much circumstance, in bhe city of London and throughout the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, its first centennial. It was the privi­ lege of this Church to be represented thereat by the Bishop of Minnesota, who appeared upon several occasions. His historical address upon the principal of these has been published in both T h e S p i r i t of M i s s io n s and in pamphlet form, and has attained a wide circulation. It is something to be remembered, that the first contribution covered into the treasury of our Society in 1820 was from the then youthful Church Missionary Society.

ANNUAL REPORT ON DOMESTIC MISSIONS OF THE BOARD OF MANAGERS. T h e Board of Managers presents herewith the Bixty-fourth annual report of the work of the Church‘in Domestic Missions. It contains a brief review of the important events of the past fiscal year in connection with the work of the Society; the reports of the several Missionary Bishops; a list of the missionaries ordained and unordained; the Treasurer’s report of receipts and disbursements for the year; a table of dioceses and missionary districts, showing appropriations and contributions for 1898-99; reports of the Colored Commission, the Swedish work, the Deaf-Mute work, the work in Porto Rico, and an analysis of receipts for Domestic Missions since 1877; all of which are commended to the attention of the clergy and laity of the Church. NEW MISSIONARY DISTBICTS AN D BISHOPS.

By the action of the General Convention of 1898, several of the former missionary jurisdictions were rearranged as to their boundary lines in order to facilitate their administration in a more economical and efficient way. The jurisdictions thus redistricted were Idaho, Nevada and Utah, Northern Cali­ fornia, The Platte, Western Colorado, and Wyoming.

TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CHURCH SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIANITY AMONGST THE JEWS. T h e Board of Managers of the Church So­ ciety for Promoting Christianity amongst the Jews respectfully submits its twentyfirst annual report: The Missionary Conference held at Wash­ ington, in connection with the late General ■Convention, adopted the following resolu­ tion: “ R esolved : That the Board of Missions has heard with satisfaction that the present or­ ganization of the Society for Promoting Christianity amongst the Jews afiords grounds for reasonable expectations that the work and influence of the society will be largely increased, and, in the hope that these expectations will be realized, com­ mends it to the support and sympathy of the clergy and laity for the next three years. ” It is an endorsement of the Society, and ■a commendation of its objects and work to the favor and support of the whole Church. The prevailing prejudice of Christians against the Jews, met by a corresponding prejudice of Jews against Christians; the suspicions as to the sincerity of many pro­ fessed converts, cause a willingness to be­ lieve that missions to the Jews are, as to re­ sults, too meagre to invite a cordial sup­ port. Experience has taught us, however, that there is no insurmountable barrier to a suc­ cessful mission among the Jews, and no ob­ stacle too formidable for earnest, honest, prayerful and liberal co-operation to sur­ mount. The persecutions of centuries upon cen­ turies, remembered with bitterness and re­ cited with rancor by parents to their chil­ dren, have perpetuated the animosity of ages. Those children as they grow up read of the unmitigated hostility in Foreign lands and find themselves ostracised and often shunned even in this land, where they enjoy liberty and privileges accorded to them in no other. Until this hatred on the part of the Jews and prejudice on the part of Christians are overcome, a mission among the Jews cannot

be expected to meet with great and rapid success. Christianity cannot be forced up­ on the Jews. They must first be made to learn what Christianity is ; that the two sys­ tems are not opposed: that Christianity never could have existed without Judaism, and that Judaism can never be perfect without Christianity. The first thing, there­ fore, is to come to an understanding with them. The name of our Society expresses its ob­ ject and purpose: P ro m o tin g Christianity a m on gst the Jews. It is not like Domestic or diocesan missions, whose field is where Christianity has already been promoted. It is like Foreign missions, except that the subjects of our labors are at our doors. No one expects Foreign missions to be prosecuted with the facility, rapidity, and success of Home missions. Long waiting, patience and meagre results characterize the former. It is not until the Church awakens to a sense of its responsibility and comes righteously forward to its support, that the Foreign field yields an encouraging harvest. Can it possibly be otherwise with missions to the Jews ? Let Churchmen bear these considerations in mind and ask themselves if this Society, in whose field are nearly a million of uncon­ verted Jews, has not a just and righteous claim upon “ the support and sympathy of the clergy and laity of the Church. ’ ’ NEW YORK.

The Rev. Horace F. Fuller, finding it im­ practicable to leave his parish for the dis­ charge of the duties of the secretaryship, resigned in April last. The New York School, under the faith­ ful and judicious guidance of Miss Ellis, continues its satisfactory career. Christian instruction and influence go hand in hand with the secular studies. The older boys pass the examinations of the State Regents, and in every instance their standing has been high. One of the boys, after a preparatory course at our

288

PROMOTING CHRISTIANITY AMONGST THE JEWS. school, entered and was graduated at Columbia College. Two of the boys were graduated at the Columbia Law School, and are now practising attorneys. One is now a student in the Cornell Medical Col­ lege. The graduates retain their attach­ ment for the school. It is seldom without a child of some graduate. During the year three children of graduates were baptized in the chapel. It may be set down as a rule almost with­ out exception, that all Jews are hostile to Christianity. It is a matter of surprise to many, therefore, that we should be able to carry on a school avowedly Christian, com­ posed entirely of the children of Hebrew parents. The explanation which the parents themselves give is that in the public schools no religion is taught, and the influence is against Judaism; consequently, they fear that the children will grow up infidels. In our school, however, they are instructed in their own Scriptures of the Old Testament, with its fulfilment in the New. Christian instruction is brought to bear upon their conduct and manners. The influence of this cannot but be favorable at home. The parents appreciate the school, and are will­ ing to commit their children to our care, though they are not blind to the inevitable. The school is thus a mission to the families as well as to the children. An industrial home, where inquirers can earn a living while receiving instruction, and, at the same time, be sheltered from persecution by their race, is an essential re­ quirement for any successful missionary work among the Jewish people. The loss of a livelihood, expulsion from home, social ostracism, insults, persecution, such is the ordeal awaiting every earnest inquirer. While, then, those who listen to Christian teaching are many, and of those who con­ tinue under instruction, not a few privately confess conviction, yet, as we have no in­ dustrial home, in which such catechumens can be sheltered, and, at the same time, spared the humiliation of being benefici­ aries, it is surely not strange that the pub­ lic baptisms are few. Mr. Lerman, our lay-missionary, has indus­ triously and faithfully continued his work— receiving daily visits at the mission rooms, lecturing weekly in the chapel, making vis­ its among the Jewish families, distributing tracts, Testaments and Prayer Books, and holding frequent discussions.

Mr. Max Green writes: “ The fourth year of work at Emmanuel House, Philadelphia, has passed quietly and peacefully. Night after night, from the be­ ginning of October to the end of June, numbers of Jewish young men and women have been thronging Emmanuel House to receive instruction or to listen to lectures and addresses. “ Since this house was opened, in the fall of 1895, about 500 Jews, men and women, have been for a longer or shorter period connected with the mission. Quite a num­ ber of these have been with us continually for two or three years, while others, on ac­ count of removal to distant parts of the city or even to other locations in the country, could not continue their attendance. With several of these a correspondence has been kept up, and occasional visits have been paid to those in the city. Many come back after an absence of a year or even more and resume their attendance. Thus the influence of Emmanuel House, we trust, has been, working itself quietly into the heart of many a Jewish home in this city and elsewhere. What a pleasure it has been to watch the slow but sure transformation in the disposition and character of many a Jewish youth I How scoffers have learned to revere, and many a rabid anarchist changed into a loyal citizen. “ The young people of the Emmanuel House have learned to regard the missionary-in-charge and his assistant not only as their teachers, but as their friends and ad­ visers. They consult them on their busi­ ness affairs and take them into their confi­ dence. A brother missionary from another city, on a short visit to Philadelphia, was taken about the Jewish quarter by the local missionary. The visitor could not help but be surprised at the many marks of respect and good will the missionary received on the way. ‘ How in the world,’ asked the surprised visitor, ‘ do you manage to know all these young people whose greetings we have been receiving and the many that stopped to talk to you V But he became quite thoughtful and walked on in silence when told that all these were connected with Emmanuel House. “ Many of our young men are the leading Bpirits among their fellows. A leading Jewish organization downtown, one which includes among its members most of the more intelligent Jewish young men and

women, held a meeting the other day for the election of officers. One of the candi­ dates for office was confronted by his oppo­ nent with the charge of attending the Ninth Street mission and being a friend of the missionaries. The accused candidate did not deny the charge, but informed his antagonist that he was quite proud of being a friend of the Ninth Street missionaries, that the mission had made a man of him, and that it would doubtless do as much for his friend, the opponent, if he went there. On a close canvass being made, it was found that not only were many of the members of that organization connected with the Em­ manuel House, but even several of the board of directors or managers. Needless to say that our friend was elected. “ Our people are certainly not unapprecia­ tive. On many occasions, and in several ways, have they shown their high regard and gratefulness for the faithful work done for them. At a meeting one evening during the Christmas week, the missionary-incharge was quite surprised on being pre­ sented with a beautiful life-size portrait of himself, which gift was both given and re­ ceived with expressions of mutual apprecia­ tion. At the closing of the night classes this summer, a successful outing was planned and executed by the pupils of the Emmanual House, and a very en­ joyable day was the Fourth of July, spent together in the park, when a class picture

was taken and an open-air lecture delivered by an eminent Hebrew-Christian lecturer from England who, as a friend, attended tha outing. Our circle attracted the admiration of all around us in the park, Jews and Gen­ tiles. “ It is only unfortunate that we are still obliged to carry on the work in a rented house, both the location of which and the building itself have become entirely inade­ quate for the work of the Emmanuel House. “ Let us hope and pray that the Jewish mission in Philadelphia may soon enjoy a home of its own, fully equipped for the blessed work of promoting Christianity among the Jews of this city.” The mission in Philadelphia has been the recipient of a fine piano from the Woman’ s Auxiliary in that city, and an organ from Mr. George C. Thomas. The prosperity of the mission in Philadel­ phia demonstrates the fact that when Bishop, clergy and laity come cordially to aid in the work, satisfactory results can surely be obtained. Let us plant such missions plentifully over the land, and very much will be accom­ plished toward removing the barriers that separate Jew from Christian, and prepare the soil for the reception of the truth as it is in Jesus.

The Church Missions Publishing Company’s Com mittee from the Diocesan Officers of the Woman’s Auxiliary. (One member chosen annually by each branch.)

A t the annual meeting of the officers of the Junior Auxiliary Publishing Company, held in May last, it was voted to change the title to the “ Church Missions Publish­ ing Company,” a chaDge which has since received the sanction and approval of the Board of Managers. The new title was adopted from a feeling that the company had outgrown the old one. While it is doing the same work for the Junior Department of the Auxiliary, that it has undertaken from its organiza­ tion, it has added to it publications adapted for the use of adults. One of the encourag­ ing features of the year’ s work was the in­ creased demand, from all over the country, for material for the use o f mission study classes. Although the largest sales for special.publications in the form of lessons, are to the Sunday-schools, fully half the letters containing orders and making re­ quest for suitable text-books are from those conducting classes for older students. It has been found that many of our publica­ tions, issued primarily for the use of the olier children in oar Sunday-schools and missionary societies, are as well adapted for

the members of the older Auxiliary, and to these we had already added Mrs. Twing’s book and a leaflet of suggestions for the conduct of advanced study classes, with the idea of following it up in the coming year by other helps for these same classes. Anticipating this growing desire in the Church to give young and old a more thor­ ough and systematic instruction in missions, the company made an appeal last October to the officers of the diocesan branches of the Auxiliary, assembled in Washington, asking them to co-operate with the com­ pany in its efforts to supply the printed matter needed to encourage this object, one of the five for which the Auxiliary was originally founded. The appeal met with a cordial response, and the work has al­ ready been taken up by a considerable num­ ber of the branches, and a beginning made which we hope will grow to something larger and more general in the future. The publications since last September are: “ Twice Around the W orld,” by Mrs. Twing, and the regular numbers, v iz .: Four R o u n d R o b in s and four S o ld ie r a n d S e r v a n ts and twelve leaflets in th*5 regular course, the first being devoted to the summary of work in certain of our own Domestic missionary districts; the latter to the colonial and For­ eign mission work of the Church of Eng­ land. Besides the above, the extra leaflet re­ ferred to has been issued, and a number of the leaflets on the missionary districts have been revised and reprinted—a work made necessary by the change in titles and boun­ daries made by the last Convention. These revisions will be completed during the com­ ing year, when it is also hoped to complete the lessons on the missionary districts by adding those not now on the list. It is pro­ posed to continue our regular issues, includ­ ing the third series of leaflets, that on the English missions, and to do as much extra work as our means will permit.

The company has been withheld only by want of funds for putting a certain number of copies of its present publications into the stiff covers, which would make them more convenient and attractive for library and other uses; and from making other ventures in the form of more extensive bound litera­ ture of a churchly and missionary charac­ ter. With the trust that in time it will realize
