bishop. OF Michigan, presiding. There
were delegates present FROM almost every
diocese in the United States. The first of
the annual reports read was that of the
domestic committee, including that of the
Indian commission, which is in substance
as follows: The missionary year falling
between October, 1874, and October, 1875
has been one OF greater prosperity than
its beginning could be reasonably
expected. There has been an increase in
the receipts for the general works, of nearly
81 400, and Of little more than this
amount for special purposes. The addition.
early IN the year, Of four names to the list
OF domestic missionary bishops, provided
Tor by the general convention, in October
last, Is regarded as an advance of more
than ordinary significance in the right di.
rectIOn. 1t Is manifest that the call for
more ciergymen, coming up from all parts
OF the country, is not meeting with an ade- i,
quaie response. as there seems to be a fall ,
ing of in the number of young .
men offering themselves as candidates :
for holy orders. Various reasons for this
are given, but, the most influential is as
to he that the clergy are not prop
eriy supported, which means that the
world pays better than the church. On
The whole, it is believed that the general
nilsson work was never in a more encourage s
ing condition than now, though the finan- .
,ial outlook Tor the coming year is less \
hopeful.
