Rev. DR.. BUTLER then addressed the meeting. He
sad-The American and Foreign Christian Union IS
an organization for carrying the Gospel among the
Roman Catholics OF Europe, South America and to
extent Of this country It'll singular fact thatt
the only missionary organization In the world that
ever distinctly undertook evangelical work among
the Roman Catholics oil the world AZ its general
work. 1t Is remarkable that the Christians OF
America and England have been content to leave
this vast field comparatively untouched save for the
small efforts OF this society, and they small be-
