METHODIST CHURCH EXTENSION.
General Missionary Committee Resumes
Its Session at Philadelphia.

Philadelphia. Nov. l2-The general
missionary committee Of the extension
of the Methodist Episcopal church re-
sumed its session, Bishop Andrews of
New York being in the chair. When
the public meeting was called to order
by Bishop Andrews. Rev. ]. f. Chaffee
of Minneapolis urged the committee 10
appoint a committee 10 devise ways
and means TO decrease the debt. After
some discussion DR.. Chaffees sugges-
tion was agreed to.
The question of the division OF the
appropriations to domestic and foreign
missions. respectively, was discussed at
some length. The total amount appro-
priated was 81, 1879 $40. and $4,000 addi-
tional was appropriated for contingent
expenses and $4,000 for incidental ex-
penses. II was decided to make the
division of the missionary fund on the
basis of as per cent TO home missions
and 55 per cent. TO foreign missions. The
committee was just about TO enter into
the apportionment OF the amount by dis
tricts when a discussion arose over the
division to the two branches Of mis-
sion work and upon motion IL was re-
considered A lengthy debate followed.
the home mission advocated urging an
increase Of the percentage for domestic
missions. II was finally resolved to let
the percentage stand at As and 90.
