EHiSSOnal Mention.

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-The work
done in the missionary field received
the attention OF the Episcopal Council
today. An interesting feature was the
reference in the trienniaI report of the
board OF missions 20 the situation in
the Antilles, Hawaii and the Philip
pines, which is as follows:
What Will occur with regard to
Cuba, the Philippines and one or more
of the Ladrones II is premature to
say. 1t IS certain, however, that the
accession of territory means increas-
ed missionary responsibility. The
questions that may arise with regard
TO Hawaii are different from those
that will come 10 the front with re-
spect TO other localities. Since 1861
the English Church has been repre-
scented there by a Bishop, a small staff
of clergy and by one or more educa-
tional institutions IN Honolulu and
elsewhere. The Bishop has approach
ed the board OF managers more than
once for assistance in this work, but
it has been unwilling 10 enter where
the English Church had already under
taken work.
