ST. LOUIS, October a5.-The Foreign
Mission'Society of the Christian Church re-
sumed its session yesterday. The French
Mission was considered and it was decided
to open another mission in Paris. A gen.
eral discussion ensued and the proposed
mission in the Congo valley in Africa was
heartily Endorsed. The subject of life and
annual memberships, and the means of
providing fund to carry on the work which
was introduced at the general meeting last
night and yielded handsome sum, was
brought up again and additional subscrip-
lions were made. Altogether Sc, $50 has so
far been raised in this city, The
report of the committee on obitu-
aries was read and received. The
committee on the Japan and Indian mis-
sions approved the plan of the board to send
medical missionaries to those countries, and
recommended that those missions be placed
in the highest state of efficiency. The Com
mittee on Turkish and Danish Missions an
proved the purpose of the board to send
another missionary to Denmark, and urged
the establishing of chapel at Copenhagen.
Yesterday afternoon the President read his
annual report, which showed good progress
made i'm the work of the church i'm a num-
Der of States, and the promise for the future
quite satisfactory. The finance report

The American Missionary Association.
Boston, MASS, October 25.-The meet
ing of the American Missionary Association
continued in Salem yesterday. Rev. DIR.
Striedy read paper on the conference be
tween the American Home Missionary So
ciety and the American Missionary Society.
Committees had found satisfactory solu
ton of the differences. 1t had been agreed
that both societies were national and moi
limited by sectional or geographical lines;
that the American Home Missionary Soci.
ety's special work was church planting
in the new regions of the West
and Southwest. 1t has also impor-
tant work in some of the Southern
States. Neither society will estab-
lish in any locality a church that will not
admit colOred persons to membership il
suitably qualified, nor will it sustain any
church that will not keep fellowship with
neighboring Congregational churches foi
unite with the Conference of that aSsocia
ton. Appeals of the two societies to theii
common constituencies shall be on the basis
that contributions for the South should flow
mainly through channels to the American
Missionary Association, and that no large
proportion of the funds of the American
Home Missionary Society should be spent in
Southern fields, as there are pressing de-
mands in the West and Southwest for all
and more than can be raised. At the after
noon session of the American Missionary
Association Rev. Mr.. Smith presented tho
report for the Indian mission and spoke o.
the Indian policy of the Government as
constant rebuke. 1t had made Ne Indian

But little could be learned from the occupants

showing itself In tendency to preach.
Walker was dangerous patient with hon.

'As tell you. I have taken pains not to
inform myself of tine contents of the will,

soon come to us from another will. OF
