METHODIST MISSIONS.
Completion OF Business by the General Com
nittee and Adjournment.


The general missionary committee Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, in session ut Bal
timore, completed it's Rbors last night and
finally adjourned.
Bishop Andrews spoke quite mfavorably Of
the character Of the work in Georgia. and moved
an appropriation Of q. 100
DIR. J. NJ. Buckley favored the appropriation
of $780, and in discussing the above appro-
priation happened TO remark that the day
might come when the Methodist Church would
unite with the NJ. Z. Church South, and hence
they should be assisted.
To this Dir. Carter responded as follows:
"When the day comes that YOU unite with the
Methodist Episcopal Church South then in
the south viii go to ourselves aud form a sepa-
rate church. hope the Methodist Church will
not forget the ditch from which il was dug and
weigh dollars against the salvation of souls. L
thought the mission of the Methodist G harch
was to save souls.
Another stir was caused at the night session
when the colored missions in the south came
up.
Bishop J. 7. Newman declared that he would
not vote for any appropriation 20 the colored
work, because these missions are in places where
other colored churches exist. aud in other
places where there are no members. and be-
cause he favors encouraging the colored people
while SO much is said about the progress in
wealth and finance the church has been rus-
tanning paupers, or, more properly. colored
pensioners he wanted TO declare that they
must support themselves
Rev. Mr.. Scott. coiored member from Texas,
modestly but strongly answered Bishop New
man, saving he could 40 reason FOR adopt
ing different policy toward the colored people
than il adopted toward others.
Bishop G. ID. Poss said he WAS satisfied there
= -. A. -
colored people in the south.
Mr.. j. F. Chsffee of Minneapolis pXaised this
work. and said he WIS surprised at the remarks
OF Bishop Newman, and wondered If they would
go unchallenged. Dr. j. NJ Buckley said the col
ored people Of the south came to them after the
war like children would TO father. He be-
lieyed the colored work wns the greatest feature
OF church work during the past twenty-five
years. He said: Indeed. would secede from
the church rather than cast of the colored peo-
pie, to unite with the NJ. L. Church
south"
Then appropriations for this eolored work
proceeded. Bishop Newman, appearing 10 be
in SO large minority, did not press further his
proposition
The appropriations yesterday we're made for
missions among the Chinese. Japanese, Bohe-
mians, Hungarians Italians and the American
Indians in the United States; for mission to
Hebrews in New York and for general missions
in twenty or more conferences from the Attain
tic to the Pacific. Here and there a ripple Of
thought, directly and indirectly. connected
with missions relieved the routine monot-
ony OF the appropriations. Each appropri-
alton was very carefully considered and dis
cussed and many applications were cut down.
The committee will meet next at Minneapolis
