Southern States.

Saratoga, n Y, June 6-At today g
session Of the Congregational Home Mis-
sionary Society, the subject Of missionary
work in Utah and other states in the
Southwest was the topic Of discussion.
The session closed, tonight. The con-
Guiding session was one of the most in
terestinR thus far held The principal ad-
dress was by Rev. Joseph Clark, ID. d.,
secretary. on The Money Problem.

made by Vim. II. Alexander OF Omaha,
Net, Rev. Lyman Abbott and Rev. X.
X. Meredith. Brooklyn, N. Y.
Rev. Joseph b. Clark, ID. ID OF New
York, formerly secretary Ut the Massachu-
sets home missionary society, In Boston,
said:
For four years past our superintendent
at the front have been required to show
an annual estimate Of the least amount
needed for imperative work In their fields.
1t means that the home missionary society
deliberately refuses to follow up the re-
suits OF its own work. Congregational
home missions have stood still, where they
have not gone back for four successive
years.
The Congrt ,tional churches OF Ameri-
ca represent at least 300, 600, 600, and add
: ~
70 that sum every year over and above all
expense Of living and all gifts of benevo-
lence, about 500, 600, 900. A clear income
OF $50. 900, 900 year above expenses Is not
a condition OF poverty that should make
tlnid It's pressing the home missionary
appeal. Yet the homeland societies were
able last year by every art OF statement
