BOARD OF MISSIONS,
Final Session Considers Christinniza-

Bishop Doane presided at the final meet
ing of the board of missions at Epiphany
Church last night. Bishop Galor of Ten
nessee read the conclusions of the commit
tee which considered the report of the
board of managers. The report stated that
the foreign missionary field presented op-
portunities in the far east and in Africa
never realized before. Since the beginning
OF the century more than 1000 900 souls
have been brought out of the darkness of
heathenism into the light of Christianitv

A discussion on the christianization of the
Jews occupied the greater portion Of the
meeting 1t was started by the report of
Bishop Mott Williams of Marquette on the
society Tor the promotion of Christianity
among the people of that race
There was considerable difference in the
views or the speakers as to the results OF
the work of the society. The bshop CO.
anJutor or Minnesota. DIR. Gilbert, said the
history of the association was that of a
shrlEehng cause. Bishop Potter of New
York thought the true agency for the Is
raeHtes IS in the parish church while Rev
Dr Huntington of New York said the Jews
were being gradually absorbed into the
CHRISTIAN world through many different
channels. A resolution was finally adonted
recommending the society to the sympathy
of the clergy.

labor, unorganiZed as well as organized. 1t
may be we'll to glance at the attitude of or
ganized labor toward the church at the
time Bishop Huntington became the presi-
dent of this association. Organized labor
had very little confidence in the church or
the C. A. l. L., and was suspicious of the
motives underlying any consideration of
labor problems from churchly standpoint.
Since that time. through the persistent and
faithful work of this association, organized
labor looks to the church for aid.
I'm this connection the c. A. 1. L. recog-
nizing the fact of the strained relations
sometimes arising between employer and
methods of warfare called strikes in
1898 established a committee of conctliation
and arbitration, with Bishop Potter as
chairman. The valuable work done by this
vice president of c. A. |. L. in preventing
and settling strikes is well known.
Attitude of Labor.
1T may be interesting here to show the
attitude of labor organizations toward c. A.
1. L. and Bishop Potter. On the evening of
May s, 1898, a special labor service under
the auspices of this association was held
in Trinity Church, New York, and the ser
mon was preached by the bishop of New
York. c. A /. l.. sent invitations TO all
labor organizations in the city and vicinity
to send delegates to this service. The re-
sponses to this invitation We're most cordial
and goodly number of delegates assem-
bled. A letter of acceptance was received
from one of the locals of the United Broth
erhood of Carpenters and Joiners of Ameri-
ca, stating that twelve delegates would be
present from his local, and adding: L must
honestly say that Bishop Potter has the
good will and confidence of all labor organ
izations for the active sympathy he has al
ways shown in behalf of the labor COM
munity' This attitude of confidence to-
ward the c. A. l. L. and the bishops who
have lent their powerful influence to the
work of economic reform grows stronger
day by day.

ADVANCEMENT OF LABOR.
Data Contained in Report of Church
AssociatiOu.

Interesting facts are contained in the re-
port of the Church Association for the Ad-
vancement of the Interests of Labor, sub
mitted to the Episcopal convention.
Many of the bishops are vice presidents
of the association and deeply Interested in
the work. The society was founded May
II, 1887, by Rev. J. o. s. Huntington, O. Fl.
c., Rev. B. f. DeCosta, D. D.. Rev. +. w.
Tomkins. jr., Rev. Edward Kenney, Rev.
j. w. Kramer. NJ. D., Rev. w. d. P. Bliss,
Rev Sturges Allen o. H. c.. and Rev. John
Anketell. Soon after it's formation Bishop
Huntington was elected president. and still
holds that office.
One of the earliest acts of the associat ton
was petition circulated among commune
cants and presented to the New York do
cesar convention asking that its printing
and other work be done at fair houses, and
that the convention recommend churches
and communicates to do the same, to the
end that the laborer may not be underpaid
and also asking aid for all lawful efforts to
obtain a shorter working day. This petit
ton was not acted upon until the following
year, when it received favorable considera-
tion and it's recommendations were adopt
ed in several dioceses.
From its foundation the association took
part in the conflict waged in the interest of
better treatment of women and children in
retail stores, and has lived to see a great
improvement in this particular. More than
before legislative committees at hearings
of the mercantile bill al the request of the
society.
Against Sweat Shops.
The report says:
&C. A. l. L. has assisted in the agitation
against sweat shops by giving the workers
a chance to be heard. In 1895 DR.. John P.
Peters president of St MichaePs Chapter
called meeting in his church, at which
Bishop Potter presided, and the striking
cloakmakers were given opportunity to
state their case. The society has also as
sisted in efforts to abolish the sweating
system by legislative action. and through
it's efficient sweat shop committee has taken
the initiative in inspection and persistent
endeavors to enforce existing prohibitive
laws which are often more honored in the
breach than the observance. While there
has been, through agitation and factory
inspection, some Improvement in the sani-
tary conditions of sweat shops in great
cities, the system still flourishes, with its
evils of long hours and low wages.
THE association has always been a con-
sistent and uncomDromising advocate of
tenement house reform, and, although its
present excellent tenement house commit
tee reports betterment In this direction
vt there is much room for improvement In
cities great and small Of the United States
