Martin, member of the First Baptist church, Hartford, provided in his will bequest for home missions, and the name of the American Home Missionary so- ciety was used. This is a Congregational SO ciety, but as it was apparent that the testat- or intended to leave the money to the Bap- tist Home Mission society, the American so- ciety has waived all claims. The legacy is expected ultimately to amount to about s3O,O00, but at present only about $5, 5,6OC are available to the society.
