From Everywhere.
Baptists carry on their mission and
publication work not through boards, but
through distinct societies, each independ-
emit of every other. The missionary Union,
with headquarters in Boston, administers
foreign work. and the Home Mission So
ciety. with Headquarters in New York, has
charge of the home work. The latter sup
ports general missionaries and missionary
pastors, erects churches and maintains ed
ucational work among negroes in the
South. 1t is also in cooperation with the
Home Board of the Southern Baptist con
vention in prosecuting work among the
negroes. Its work covers every State and
Territory. with one or two exceptions, to-
gether with Mexico, Alaska, Hawai-. porto
Rico and the provinces of Cuba lying east
Of the famous trocha. The Baptist Pub
lication Society, with headquarters in
Philadelphia, is chiefly concerned with, the
publication and distribution of books,
tracts and bibles. It has also for some
years done some work in establishing and
fostering Sunday schools. OF late years
it has incorporated into its work what
is known as chapel car missions, and has
gradually eneroached upon the field of the
Home Mission Society, supporting general
missionaries.
At the Baptist Congress, recently held
in Buffalo, Rev. DR.. George Z. Horr, ed
itor of a leading Baptist periodical. him
self a vice president of the publication So
ciety, called attention to this o~verlapping

the publication society might do well to
conflne itself to its legitimate sphere Of
activities. This utterance called forth a
sharp criticism from Rev. DR.. A. j. Row
land, secretary of the society. Thereupon

1t is now said that the CONTROVERSY Will
result either in a conference between the
two societies or to the calling of a great
Baptist conference similar to the one held
in Saratoga in 1889, when it is possible
that the publication society will be asked
to discontinue it's missionary work entire
ly and TO either transfer its chapel cars
to the Home Missionary Society or to sell
them. The publication society is also at
odds with the Southern Baptist Conven-
ton. The latter, which employed DIR. A.
j. Diaz in Havana, accumulated property
to the value Of 100000. After DR.. Diaz
was expelled from cuba the publication
society saw fit to take him up and send
him to Mexico. Immediately the protocol
was signed DR.. Diaz returned to Havana.

churches of the North and of the South
