port Of the subcommittee appointed to bring

ment on account of the destruction by q
mob of mission hospital and church m

build if deemed best.
For Maylasia the subcommittee recon-
mended an appropriation of S., 900, and an
increase of 81 500 for Singapore. Rev. DR..
Upham moved that the figure be 81, ,25O, on
Bishop Thorburn's proposition to raise the
other $3.50. DR.. Upham's motion prevailed.

Bulgaria recommended $40, $40. Bulgarian
work is the redemption of the city OF Con-
