SOUTHERN PREsBYTERIAHs

A small company Of Southern Presby-
terians gathered at the Central Presby-
terrain Church yesterday afternoon for their
missionary rally. Mr.. William r. Gentry of
Missouri presided and made a brief address
recounting briefly the achievements Of the
church in the missionary cause.
The meeting was entirely informal, and
many in the congregation spoke of the lines
of activity in their churches, cities or
states
Prof. James Lewis Howe Of Lexington
Va. one of the trustees Of the United So
ctety was present and spoke feelingly con-
corning rumor that had reached the mis-
sionary board of the church of the death Of
Rev. Dr. Snyder. missionary of the South
ern Presbyterian Church to Central Africa
He told something of the perils that had
fallen to the lot of this noble servant of
God. and how again and again he had been
recalled from his dangerous post, but had
steadfastly refused to leave. The rumor Of
his death. however he said, served to en-
phasize the Importance of members of the
church constantly remembering all missions
and missionaries in their prayers. Three
things We're possible, he said. for those who
desired 10 promote the missionary cause
persons could go themselves. send others,
or pray for those who had gone. He urged
all his hearers TO be more Jealous and faith
ful in their duty of petitioning for divine
blessing on those who had left home friends
and country to carry the light of the Gospel
to the dark lands of heathendom.
Upon the conclusion of Or. Howe's re-
marks, the presiding officer announced with
regret, the absence of several who had been
expected to address the meeting notably
Rev Dr. Vance, secretary of the board Of
foreign missions of the Southern Presby-
terrain Church: Miss Gum, a missionary to
Mexico; Mr.. Phipps of Greece. and others;
but he gave an opportunity to those In the
congregation to make any statement con-
corning missionary work in which they were
engaged From st. Louis, Kentucky, North
Carolina and other sections encouraging
reports of missionary activity were made

sions had been established. missionaries and

sion schools educated, and suggestions were

the African Methodist Episcopal Church
was held at the Metropolitan A. NJ. z.
Church en- NJ street between 18th and 18th
streets yesterday afternoon between and
5 o'clock, and was largely attended. The
delay in beginning the services was occa-
stoned by the fact that funeral services
over the remains of Mrs. John Simms were
in progress during the hour originally set
apart for the missionary exercises. Mrs.
Simms had been a member OF the church
for over ffty-four years. and was known
and respected throughout the church dis

StonaTy rally.
Bishop W. ]. Gaines, d. D., of Atlanta

ing by reason of an unexpected call to an
other field of usefulness, and his place was
supplied by Bishop b. w. Arnett of WILDER
force, Ohio. trustee of the United Society
of the Christian Endeavor. He made an
excellent chairman, and opened the services
with an able address on the advantages and
necessity of missionary work on the lines
laid down by the Christian Endeavor. His
remarks were preceded by devotional exer-
cises, including a prayer by Rev. DR.. HUI
bert Of Maryland The first formal address
was made by Rev. James l.. Hill, d. D.. of
Salem, Mass. trustee of the United So
ciety Of the Christian Endeavor and one OF
the pioneers of the movement He con-
graduated the bishop on the magniicence
of the efforts of the colored race and his
church, and spoke of the broad fellowship
of the Christian Endeavor movement, which
takes in all churches and all races, and
knows no section color. He also COM
plimentsd the colored race on its great
musical gift. He was very severe in his
condemnation of prejudice against the
negro. He caused a general ripple Of APP
plause by a remark that any place that
was too good to entertain his colored broth
er was too good to entertain him.
An interesting address was made by Rev.
B. w. Stewart of Cairo, ILL., on the general
subject of missions, in the course of which
he took occasion to speak of the good re-
suits accomplished by the missionary work
of the Christian Endeavor. The singing,
which formed a feature of the rally, was
rendered by seventy-five members of the
Junior Christian Endeavor choir Of the

Missionary Work Should Our Christian En-

He treated the topic from a very prac-
teal point of view, and said that each dele

OF Endeavor work. He spoke furthsr Of the
advantage of each member gaining as
much information on the subject of mis-
sions as possible, in order that he may
