SATURDAY, 18th AUGUST 1892.

The Dagbldd of Goth July contains a
leading article on the Jubilee Of the
Mor0uian Mission in these islands. The
writer says that:-"The Danish people
are indeed considerably indebted to the
MOravian Church, which both in Green
land and in the West Indies has taken
over a large portion Of a work which pro.
perly rested upon them to carry out, and
it is a reasonable demand that they should
shew their recognition of this fact by not
holding back, when from Germany, Eng
land, Holland, and other places consider
able suns are being contributed towards
the contemplated new Memorial Church
ito be erected in st. ThOmas".) The writer
then proceeds to give some interesting
details concerning the establishment OF
the Mission in 1882 by the lay mis-
siOnaries Le08hard D0Jey and DdU{d
NitScbmann, and its progress under many
trying conditions till in 1857 the cOngTe-
cations in the three Danish islands mum
bered in all 10000. A paragraph IS
devoted to the relation of the Mission to
the question of slavery, and it appears
that the Missionaries in the first instance
purchased slaves, who soon became deSir-
able examples Cfgood conduct to the other
slaves in the islands. Soon however it
WAY upCItbu HOT 10 COllU nut UAlo plhCbICN5
and in 1913 it was decided to free the
slaves on the several stations, a resolution
which was carried out in 1914. The arti.
Gle concludes by expressing the hope
that contributions will be sent in from all
sides to the Jubilee Church in St.ThOmas,
$50 that it may be said with truth that it
is erected not only with the money of
foreigners, but also with the gifts of the
Danish Burghers, and can be regarded as
a memorial not only of the JOY of the
Moravian Brethren over the blessing
which has rested on their labours, but
as a memorial also of the thanks Of the
Royal House, of the Danish Government
and of the Danish People,
We ought to add that nothing seems to
have been generally known about the
Jubilee Festival till the attention Of the
Danish public was drawn to the matter,
though, as the DdgblGd remarks, rather
late, by DR.. Theol: KALKAR Of C0penhagen.
From the 81. ThomD Ijdc1de Of the 10th
inst. we learn that the new Memorial
Church" is to be erected at a corner Of
Cocoa Nut Square on ground purchased
from Mr.. Titley, and that the foundation
stone will be laid on Monday next, the
21st inst. at 5 O'Clock p. m. The ceremony
will be performed by Mrs. ARENDRUP,
wife of His Excellency the GOVERNOR.

During the past few days the long hoped
for change in the weather appear, to have
come at last. Light showers during the
earlier part of the week were followed by
a more copious fall yesterday, which we
think from the appearance of the Clouds
must have been tolerably wide spread over
the island.

GqsHE NINTH HALFYEARLY GENERAL MEETING
"a of shareholders was held at the Offices of the company, Bishopsgato-
street, on Thursday,
Mr.. It. i. HILL, in the chair
Mr. JAMES CLARK 0o secretary read the notice calling the meeting.
and also the report, which Wns as follows =
The directors now submit to the propnetors the following statement
Of the debts and assets Of the Cooperation on Dec. 80 last, showing also
the net profit Of the halfycar ending at that period-
DEBTS.

The dIecFoTs0 are able % report TlF Toa accounts from the 67anoGo are Satisfactory.
The Chairman said: Gentlemen, [ have very little to say in proposing
the adoption Of he report, but if you think there is any n Information l can
give | shall be happy to answer any question after the report has been
proposed and seconded. BY a comparison Of the accounts with the past
half years it will be seen that the business of the bank has been restricted,
and the good dividend is mainly due to a greater immunity than usual
from bad debts, and the better rates of interest which we have been able
to obtain for the large sums Of money held in this country. 1 am not able
to report anything very satisfactory from Panama but the Canal Company
have lately commenced active operations, and [ hope before long this
agency will be very profitable. Our friends the West Indian planters
have been doing rather better during the past two years, because the
European beetroot crop of sugar has remained stationary, but this has
reached the enormous total Of 100000 tons. hope it will remain at
this figure, and ifs so there may be better future for u.s., and a better
future for our friends in the West Indies do not think that / need say
anything more, therefore l viii now move the adoption of the report and
accounts-Nr. Henriques seconded the motion.
After a few words from Nj. Castle Smith, who congratulated the directors
on the satisfactory report they were able to present, the resolution was put
and carried.
On the motion Of the Chairman, seconded by Mr. Henrques, an ordinary
dividend at the rate of per cent, and an extraordinary dividend of per
cent, were declared for the past halfyear, payable on and after July 8,
free of income tax.
On the motion of Mr. Castle Smith, seconded by Mr. Fleming, a cordial
vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman and directors.
The Chairman: Gentlemen, We esteem your good wishes, and shall
exert ourselves to maintain the dividend-The meeting then broke up.
