THE BEGINNING OF AMERICAN
MISSIONS.

The proposition of our General Con-
vention, to devote $4,000 a year for five
years to the Foreign Missionary work,
is criticised in some quarters as rath-
er meager provision for such an impor-
tant and necessarily expensive work.
Impelled by this consideration, we
have been led to make some special ex-
aminations in regard to the beginning
of Foreign Missionary work in other
churches. We embody in this article
the result of such examination so far
as relates to the American Board of
Foreign Missions for the first five
years of its existence.
Apart from such efforts to christian
ize the Indians as had been made by
the Apostle Eliot, by David Brainerd
and others, American missionary work.
as now understood, practically began in
1909. In that year Samuel j. Mills,
Adoniram Judson and two others,
then students for the ministry, offered
CnCluoCAfCo W DnO Observation-Disclosures OOu-
gregational Association to be ordained
and sent as missionaries to the East
Indies, where William Carey and other
English missionaries had been laboring
with success since 1898. The Massa-
chusetts Association approved the
young mems proposal and asked the
assistance of the Connecticut Associa-
ton. By their joint efforts the Amer
lean Board of Commissioners for For
eign Missions, was organized June 20,
1910. Scarcely 500 were raised for the
purpose in that year. The Commits
sioners, fearing that the support for
four missionaries might be too great a
burden for the American churches,
sent Judson to England to ask that the
Americans might be recognized and
allowed to share in the work of the
London Missionary Society and that
these missionaries might be sent out
under it's auspices. The London So
ciety declined the offer, believing that
the responsibility of support and over
sight could not be divided. Their sec
rotary, Rev. Samuel Burder, wisely ur
ged that if the four missionaries should
actually set out as representatives of
the American churches, these churches
would not fail to respond for their sup
port. The American Board then took
rhe responsibility, thrust upon them
from all sides, and in February, 1912,
Judson and his associates sailed for
Calcutta on their way to Burmah. The
financial resultssfor the first five years
are shown in the accompanying table;
M. for the year 1s11-1S15.

The CHRISTIAN LEADER recently
continued an editorial in which honor
able mention was made of the charitable
institutions endowed by Universalists
and under their control East and West.
Rev. MI. Stocking, of Peoria, calls our
attention to the fact that our Peoria
parish, in this State, deserves conspic-
uous mention in this catalogue of good
works and workers enumerated The
Bradley Home for old ladies was dona-
ted to the city by Mrs. Lydia Bradley,
who is member of our church, and
president of the Home" 1t has had
an honorable history and is one of the
most blessed charities in the city. With
the Universalist church, which bears
the name of the Bradley memorial, also
gift to the parish, Peoria has two
enduring monuments of the honorable
and beloved Bradleys.

EXPENDITURES.

1t will be seen from the above that
the provision which the General Con-
vention proposes for the first five years
compares very favorably indeed with
the actual financial expenditure of
this representative Missionary Organ
ization of the Congregational body in
the same number of years in its begin
ming.
When we consider the large number
of Congregational churches contribu-
ting to the American Board from 1911
to 1915 the estimate of $4,000 year
for the first five years from our churches
would seem to be very much larger in
proportion to our membership. And
so far as the beginning of the work is
concerned we would infer that it is all
that is required under the circum-
stances.
Since 1915 the receipts and expendi-
lures from Missions in the American
Board have increased in fair ratio to
the increase and establishment of the
Congregational churches. In the sec
ond five years of its work, the Board
received and expended an average of
$50, 900 year.
The purpose of this article is to call
attention to the comparatively small
way in which this large Missionary Or
ganization commenced its work, and to
show by comparison of figures, that
what our Convention proposes to ex-
pend in five years in foreign Missionary
work, is not to be despised as foun-
dation for the coming enterprise of our
church in foreign fields.
The several denominations began the
Missionary enterprises in the following
order: Congregational, as above, 1910;
Baptist, 1914 Methodist, 1919; Presby-
terrain (Western Foreign Missionary
Society 1881; Presbyterian General
Assembly Board, 1887. We have for
future publication the published re-
ceipts of each of these, but not the ex-
penditures of the Baptist Foreign
Missionary Society,"" We shall lay
these figures before our readers at an
early day.
We sincerely trust that the proposed
enterprise of Universalist missions in
foreign lands will not be allowed to
languish, and that those who are in
sympathy with the movement to put
our own church in the regular line of
missionary work alongside of other
denominations, and who have the
means to assist, will make immediate
contributions on the basis proposed by

pastor and his wife at the church, last

anniversary of their marriage. They had
been invited out to tea by one of their
parishioners, and about 8 o'clock were
sent for to ''marry" some people who we're
waiting at the church. On their arrival
they were greeted by chapel full of
friends. They were escorted to the plat
form by committee, and after a brief
address and a poem, written by Mrs.
Aristine Anderson and read by Mrs. E.
@. Skinner, hearty congratulations were
extended Miss Sarah Rounds of Mrs.
Mobiles school of elocution, contributed a
delightful part of the entertainment by
two Rotations Miss Nellie Hutaff rend-
cred some excellent music, and Mr.. Adam
Scholes read an original poem. Several
tables were filed with presents of tin
and bronze, besides aliberal gift of money
to Mrs. Rexford. Refreshments were
served at 8 o'clock and good cheer reigned
supreme.
The editor of THE UNIvERsALIsT, who
remembers the "irst appearance" of DR..
and Mrs. Rsxtord as bride and groom in
Ohio, sends his sincere congratulations
on this tenth wedding anniversary, SO
pleasantly observed in Detroit.

She was one of the pioneers of this section,

people assembled to pay the last tribute of
respect, the services being held in the Chris

Bacon, of the Universalist church, at which
time the following facts in regard to Mrs.
Folks life were read:
Elizabeth Polk was born in Guilford coun-
ty, North Carolina, October 16, 1914, and
died at her home, January 20, 1888, aged 70
years, months and ID days. She came with
her parents, Solomon beaverton and wife, to
Highland county, o., when only three years
of age, making her home in that county for
over seventy years. She was married to
Joshua W. Polk, October "a, 1886, whose
faithful companion she had been for half a
century. From this union sprang twelve
children, all of whom, with their aged father,
are left to mourn the loss of devoted wife
and mother. All, save one, Rev. Robert T.,
whose home is in the East were present to
witness the close of that life, which, to them,
had been so useful. She has passed from
earth, but not from the hearts that loved her,
while her spirit still lives in that land where
sorrows and paintings never come.

REV. THOMAS E. GREEN, Rector of
st. Andrews church, in this city,
preached Sunday before last on 1.-THE
Church and Universalism." 1t now
turns out that the sermon was against
the doctrine of eternal punishment,
The preacher declared that in the Epis-
copal church the belief in the final res
tOration of all souls was quite COM
monty held and that on account of that
belief no one need go out or keep out
of that communion. 1t was a rather
radical utterance considering the fact
that Mr.. Green does not pretend to be
a broad churchman, but is on the con-
trary an intense ritualist. This was the
sermon to which we referred last week
as possibly coming under the jurisdic-
ton of Bishop Conklin. 1t will not
require any discipline-except from
the orthodox.
