THE PACIFIC CoAsT.-A very spirited meet
ing was held last evening in the First Presby-
terian Church to hear the report of Messrs.
ciety's delegation to the Pacific coast.
The pastor, Rev. Dr. johnson, congratulated
the audience upon their interest in the efforts
of an unsectaran missionary society. Such
society lifts from a narrow denominational
groove, and brings us into sympathy with the
Christian Church and Christian workers of every
name. This society is the right arm of the
Church.
Rev. g. L. Shearer, Secretary of the society," said
that its home missionary WORK was performed bv
gr0nts OF publications to the needy at the rate OF
1920 per week and by nearly 300 missionary col
South had organized or aided $50 Sabbath or secnIar
schools, with nearly 1000 scholars.
In his trip Of 10000 miles the Pacific coast he
found much spiritual destituton. The proportion
Of evangelical church members is only 81 per cent
one-nlth the average for the whole United States.
Is less than one per cent.
The miners are 30 changeable as to be scarcely
accessible except by coporteurs travelling with
them and visiting their cabins, speaking aud dis
tributing religious reading. With the cooperation
OF leading ecclesiastical bodies churches and pas
tors, the society has organized an agency and
opened depository at San Francisco, and COM
missioned District Secretary and corps of colpor-
teurs, who are already at work. or these, one is
Chnaman, who visits his countrymen and gathers
them for night and Sabbath schools, circulating
among them Chinese publications. which the society
conversions are reported from these heather.
Mr.. John E. Vassar spoke OF his personal efforts
among the miners and Chinese, and Rev. B. L. Ag-
new urged earnestly the duty of cooperating in this
work from motives of philanthropy, patriotism, and
OUIlsudull1.
DR.. Johnson announced that donations would be
received by II. N. Tnssel ESQ.,, at the OF the
American Tract Society, No 140s Chestnut street.
