MONEY FOR MISSIONS.

The All-Ahsarblng Theme al the Episcopal
 Convention-A General Demand for More
 Means-The Church in America Charged
 with Neglect of Its Toreign Missionaries
 Sympathy for Armenians-A Good Word
 for Texas.
 MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. Oct. 5-"Money for Missions" was the all-day theme of the two houses of the Episcopal con. vention, and which, in accordance with the constitution, sat together as the general board of missions yester- day. The fathers of the~1hureh told of the work that had been done, of the difficulties surrounding it, and of the need of finances with. out stint. and ministerial recruits without number, to the end that the church. both abroad and at home might be pushed forward in the name of the Master. The majority of the narrations bristled with criticisms ol the failure of the American church to adequately hold up the hands of it's representatives in other lands.
 After the adoption of a resolution commendatory of Gov. CuIbursen and the Texas legislature, voluminous printed reports on foreign and do- mestic missions were presented in be- half of the board for managers. It showed that the gross receipts Of the board for the year were, including the balance of last year and a personal loan of S65, GOO from Mr. George Bliss, S7s4, s29, and the disbursements s7J6,- PTS, leaving a balance of S6s. .551 in hand on September 1. The loan from Mir. Bliss had been returned. The re. port of the Women's auxiliary showed that it had collected sl67, 643 for the fiscal year, of which 800, S33 had been disbursed without coming into the een- tral treasury.
 The report was referred to commit tees, and then the missionary bishops were presented in regular order. Bishop Ferguson, of Africa, eoloref man, protested that the church had not done it's duty in regard to foreign missions.
 Bishop Graves, of China, was next presented, and made an appeal for money.
 Bishop McKim. of Japan. said that tHe War lldt JduBilb the Japanese 2 lesson, for there were hundreds oi Christians iE the front of battle. and the way they fought was known all over IL was now recognized that 2 man was no less a Japanese because lie had become q Christian.
 The work of the colored commis. sioner was represented by Bishop Nel- son, of Georgia. He said that his dio- eese was 50 per cent. missionary, and yet the total moneys received last year for the building up of this inrisd ictior only averaged seven and & half cents head of the people reached. Tha Episcopal church was the onlyone max. ing any advance in the moral condi. tion of the people of the south.
 Bishop Brooke, of Oklahoma. spoke briefly for the Indians of New Mexico and Arizona.
 Reports on the mission fields of Mex ico and Brazil were made by Bishop McLaren, Df. Forester of Mexico city, and others
