session Yesterday afternoon and
last Evening The Ladies' Mis-.
sion work - Evening Services.
Yesterday afternoon the Synod open
ed with routine business. The after.
noon was taken up with the considera.
tion OF the report OF the committee on
Board OF Foreign missions, in which
ver. offered suge estions rejecting OF
the Women's Missionary society.
Rev. Mr.. Gross didn't want any pa
psrto come before the synod that would
in any manner reflect upon the efforts
OF the women in the mission WORK. The
women DO ihst portion OF this labor
which cannot he done by men, and it
il worse than folly to talk Of such mess
ures as would undoubtedly ilillta,e
against the work OF the ladies. The in
nn,uce OF females in heather countries
l., our hope. The church must get the
vopug, and how can the church get
Them unless it be through tue
mothers who can only BE- ap-
preached by female missionaries.
would have the report referred back
70 the committee and modified.
Rev. Mr.. Jones did not see that Sc
{. ptation of the report would reflect
upon the ladies the real question being
whether the ladies, are competent and
wise enough to disburse the MONIES re-
ceived through the churches. Accord
ing to his apprehension OF the paper,
th. objection was the ladies managing
the money.
A member-But do the ladies handle
the money.
A. Yes.
Judge Drake took the paper and re-
viewed it severely and commented upon
it largely. He said that for thirty
wears he had been treasurer Of the
Board of Foreign Missions and he knew
there was a provision in its law to the
effect that all monies received by par
ties for mission work were at the dis
position of the donor. The ladies were
no exception to the rule. According to the
statues they have now from $3.50, 600 to
$l40, coo all of which is disburssd by
the ladies'. He then defended the
lady's mission workers from the im
putatiou of certain ofiiciousness which
blended in the report, and also other
infrIrnces. AT the conclusion of his
remarks he begged the pardon Ot Mr.
Fuller ii he mad said anything that
seened harsh.
Mr.. Fulton replied that there was not
channel of thought rutiled IN his
bosom. He knew that he was as old or
as experienced as the honorable Judge !;
and the fault on his part was doubtless
the result of defective education. He
had been educated to look at things
clearly and express his opinion boldly
not to look at things evenly so that he
could straddle both sides of the fence.
He went on to defend the report.
Aaother divine objected to some Of
the language thinking it Was undlgni-
tied.
Rev. DR.. Backus also favored the
report, and held to about the
same argument as did Mr.. Fulton.
Rev. Mr.. DuVal thought the Ian
guAge little too strong, and he favor
ed the recommitment OF the report SO
tnat it might BE- inedifd so as not to
giV- offence TO the ladies.
MIR. Edward 7. Taylor, of this city,
moved as an amendment to instruc-
lions, "that the committee take back
the report and that all references re-
hacting upon the lady mission workers
be eliminated"
1t was seconded and carried by =
vote of A to 43.
Other reports were received after
which the meeting adjourned.
In the evening the Synod paftook of
communion service, after which Rev.
Theodore Wynkoop of Washington gave
a lecture i'll the missionary work i'll
India.
