PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL MIsSION-MEET-
ING In BROOKLYN.

The Protestant Episcopal Board OF Missions hav.
ing concluded their annual sessions in New York,
a general meeting was held in st. AIMS church,
Brooklyn. last evening. About eight bishops and
dozen presbyters in canonicas sat in the chancel.
Bishop Lttlejohn presided; and, after brief ser
vice, the Bishop welcomed the strangers TO Brook
lyn and introduced the first speaker the Bishop
OF Iowa, who remarked that what we want to-day
is the missionary heart, but II we have the spirit
OF Christ, we have the missionary heart. The mis-
sonary cause, he said, is the cause OF the conver
sion Of the world to God. And this must
be accomplished through Gods people and His
promises are the measure OF our duty. We, the
Bishop said, are pure branch OF Gods Church IN
the primitive and apostolic succession, and we
can go forward in the name OF the Lord and pos
sess the land, for there is much land yet to be
possessed. Our field OF labor is the world. And
what field is here presented for the Church
among the freedmen In our own land. Look at
the 100000 bowed down under the delusons OF
Spirtuaism in our country
Bishop Stevens, OF Pennsylvania, remarked that
the Church. the Gospel the ministry and the insti-
work Of the Church cannot therefore be confined
within narrower limits than the Gospel speaking
more especially in behalf Of foreign missions
estant Episcopal Church had come up so
strongly during the last thirty or forty years is
toward the heather. It Is now 0 missionary
church. Answering the objection as 10 the little
accomplished by missions, he remarked that the
Church had already received q thousand fold for
all its outlay He pointed to the mission work done
in Greece, in China, Japan and Africa, and said
that II the Protestant Episcopal Church had done
nothing more than give the Old Testament in the
Mandarin tongue to the Chinese Empire it would
have deserved the thanks OF Cnristendom. He re-
gretted that the laborers in these vast fields num-
bered less than one hundred
Bishop Whipple OF Minnesota, spoke touchingly
respecting missions among the Indians OF the
Northwest, where he has gathered nine Indian
churches and confirmed more than 800 adult
converts. There are however, three great difficult
ties in the way of missions among the Indians
contact with white men, the deception OF traders
and agents and the bad faith OF the government
They ask II the Jesus the missionaries OFFER
Saviour is the same that the white men swear by
when they are angry. There are 1000 Indians in
the Santee mission, living and dressing as white
men, and carrying on agricultural and manufac-
turing business, and the Bishop asked for them
the prayers, the sympathy and the material aid OF
the Church people here.
Bishop Clarkson, OF Nebraska, spoke in behalf OF
Western frontier mission work. Addresses were
also made by Bishop Huntington. OF Central New
York, and Bishop Hare, OF Nebraska, alter which
the meeting adjourned.
