ian Mission Board was held in Carnegie

Tor the purpose Of bringing forcihly TO the
notice of the denomination at large the
fact of the enormous debt of the board
and tho urgent need of FUNDS. The meet
Ing was remarkable in that 1t was presided
over by the president Of the United States.
W no made stirring orthodox address. and
was also addressed by several of the most
prominent speakers in the land. including
DR.. Talmage. 1t was hoped and expected
that. as result of this rally, $4,000 would
be realized toward decreasing the debt A
vast wave Of disappointment, however. has
swept ovei' the land since the official report
announced that all told. including cash
and pledges. not S7c0o was raised The
board is in had way--much worse than
1t would have known. At the last meeting
of tn, general assembly II was decided to
inaugurate Il mliondollar fund and t,y
10 raise TINT sum to help the board out OF
its difficulty. only half the amount has
been given, and hut two months remain
before the situation will become critical
and embarrassing. The rally in New York

much was expected from II.

WORD EROM IAPAN

It will be remembered that some time
age committee OF prominent Conerega-
tlonalsts pastors and laymen. was sent to
japan 10 investigate the reports which
roughly speaking, charged the missionaries
with unfulfiilment of their duties. and
limited at other things far more serious
The committee has now concluded its la
hcrs and published its report. The pith of
the report is as follows: That the Amori-
can board is justified In continuing Its
work in Japan. but is advised to send no
mora missionaries there, except under
some special emergency. This is said To
mean the ultimate withdrawal of all the
lahorers after a period OF years. The con-
uition of orthodoxy was reported upon IA
vorahly and the ru.nlr Of the spread Of
hetcrodoN views among tho missionaries
was declared greatly exaggerated Only a
few pastors and preachers were found who
had AT al! departed from the faith, and
they were partly educated In this country
or in Europe
