tends from Alaska on the north TO Okla

Bishop Nelson. of Georgia, presented the

Good work had been accomplished with

there are about eight and half million
negroes in the Southern States and that
only $4,000 a year had been available for
missionary work. Educa tional institu-
tions had been founded, but the partic-
ular and most important work had been
done in building up the church.

He was inclined TO, believe that the

Foreign missionary work in Africa was
discussed by the Rev DR. Eckleston, of
Baltimore. He referred first to Iberia,
and said that it was generally neglected
and forgotten by the family of American
churchmen. Many failures had been
made in missionary work in that country.
He, however, said the temperament of
the people must be taken into considera-
ton. and when that was considered the
work showed good results.
There is one bishop and ten presbyters
now working in Liberia, and these are

Up and down the Liberian coast there is
