ST LOUIS, Wednesday, May %, 1S55.
The Rev. Thornton A. Mills of indianapolis de-
liyered Ill elective address last evening IN behalf
of the Church Erection Fund. some $4,000 are
still lacking TO complete the fund Of 100000 for
this purpose, and measures are now being set on
foot 10 complete II.
This morning there has been an exciting debate
on the report of the Church Extension Committee
On some oyeriures and memorials from two Pres
byteries in Philadelphia, and tie Synod OF Iowa,
calling for tie establishment OF some agency in
the Church, and under control OF the General As
sen bly, 10 explore destitute fields az the West and
organize churches in circumstances in which the
American Home Missionary Society cannot act.
Tie Committee have reported plan for Stand
ing Committee which shall meet these wants.
They dsclaim the notion of Ecclesiastical Boards

bate Us yet Lad during the present sessions The
Rev. lr. Campbell, Key. Mr.. Wallace aud Others
have strenuousy ard ably pushed the repOrt,and the
frst gentleman has handled the Hone Missionary
Society without gloves. On the other hand the
Rev. Prof Smith of New-York, Rev. Mr.. Pratt of
Chic and others have with great ability defended
the Society. The whole report except the third
resolution, which was stricken out, was adopted
article by article. and now the debate is likely to
he renewed on a motion TO adopt the paper q
whole This motion was in fact carried, but il
was done suddenly that many did not know
what was On foot, and reconsideration viii

motion should carry, there viii probably be a

In railroad ride through the toughest country
contained in all out-doOrs-a country where little

Ofcourse there was great deal of preaching
done in the twenty or thirty Churches on Sunday,
and every church appears pretty We'll satisfied with
what il got. But have yet to learn that any
minister made even the most modest alnslon 70
