seyenty-five women of the denomination
1t is the fifth car to be put into commls-
sion by the Baptist Publication Socledy,
and the sixth is planned, money for winch
is now being raised by the young men in
Baptist churches everywhere. Railway

The last Presbyterian General Assem-
bly, appointed a committee to consider an
plans of home mission work pursued IN
all the States and report next May the
result of their Investigations. A sub-com-
mittee of this body is to spend the COM
ing week in New York comforting with
the Home Board and its new secretary,
the Rev. DR.. Charles L. Thompson, Who
assumed Office on Tuesday last. The
question is whether it is better for
churches to send home mission contri-
buttons to a general body such as the
Home Board, the old plan, or to send
them to a State board, in one case to be
expended in mission work by one general
board for the whole country, or OF eacn
State Synod within its own boundaries
nxr nv T. IlJhTinO has HIST
returned from a journey OF ten thousand
miles, spent in visiting Episcopal Sunday
schools in the interest of the movement
to raise $100, 600 in these schools as a MEM
orial missionary fund in honor of the late
Secretary of the Board of Domestic and
Foreign Missions. He reports the pros
poets good for raising the amount, and
says that never before has he round the
Sunday schools in the country in better
condition. He has long made a study of
sunday school facts. not always statistics,
and when asked if Sunday schools are de-
caying, as has lately been alleged, he pro-
duced a table recently compiled by him,
showing over q. 000,0 600 children in the
world in Sunday schools-a larger number
than ever before.
The date has lust been fixed for the sec
nnd international council of Congrega-
tional churches. This. is September 20 OF
next year, a long time off, and yet much
preliminary work has already been done.
The council will have delegates from Con-
gregational churches wherever in the
world such churches exist. To the first
such council American churches sent
about 200 delegates. 1t met in London.
The forthcoming one is to be held in Bos-
ton. The council will be composed of
about 400 members, and the preacher will
be some eminent Englishman, not yet Sc
sected.
The twentieth century movement, start
ed by Presbyterians to increase by half a
million the number of children in Presby-
terrain Sunday schools between this date
and April. 1901, is being taken up by other
denominations, and similar movements
are being i~naugurated. The latest to be-
gin it is the Reformed Church in America.
a statement just made by the American
Sunday School Union is to the effect that
there are II, 600, 900 children in the United
States not in any Sunday schools.
Initial plans have just been completed
for the biennia convention of the Luther
League of America, which meets in New
York City in October. The idea selected
for the approaching meeting is Labor"
and under it foreign and domestic mis-
sions will be discussed, as well as all
other phases of young peoples effort.
