consolidation of the Assembly Herald and
the Church at Home and Abroadswas not
given into his management, followed MS
report with speech.
Then DIR. Knox, of the special COM
mittee that has been running the new
Assembly Herald, presented his report
and recommended that the periodical be
managed hereafter by a committee of
three, one member to be appointed by
the foreign missions board, another by
the home missions and the third by the
six other boards In recognition of Dr.
Hubbards faithful services the balance
was voted to him. But then DR.. Knox
made a speech in which he compared
the old and new Heralds in a way that
| did not please DR.. Hubbard. The latter
begged the assembly for a chance to re-
ply and the committee insisted that they
| must have chance to answer. The
| prospect promised "a lively controversy,
! but it was postponed until today. The
| developments showed that strong ele--
| ment wants the board of publication to
take charge of the official organ, and that
/ board is averse to taking the incubus.
M'GIFFERT CASE.
The committee on bills and overtures
! asked that 1t be permitted to report the
| McGtffert case at 2 o'clock this after
noon, instead of 10 a. m, the time prev
| iously fixed. That is supposed to mean
| that the committee Is still wrestling with
the case--that the extremists are labor
| ing to have drastic action taken with the
professor who does not believe that the
sacrament of the Lords supper is of
| divine institution.
| The judicial committee made the fol-
| lowing reports: Appeal of Rev. James III.
Baird from synod of Pennsylvania, not
sustained; trial of the complaint of the
Charles Wiz no TlIi-
nois synod, ordered; appeal of j. Scott
Woods of the synod of Nebraska, dis
missed.
There is a prospect that the committee
on bills and oVertures will bring In
report on the state of affairs growing out
of the Spanish-American war which may
be construed as an Endorsement of the
administrations Philippine policy. The
"antis' in the assembly will protest If
they can smell the least odor of indorse-
ment Friends of the foreign missions
approve the expansion policy and Secre-
tary Brown practically said SO yester-
day morning.
The morning session was given over TO
the board of foreign missions, the report
being presented by DR.. Harness, of In
Gianapolis. Rev. DIR. Arthur ]. Brown,
corresponding secretary, addressed the as
sembly in behalf of the board and is
work. DR.. Brown, in words that alter
the verge of tears, he reviewed the heroes
who work for churches, foreign mission
aries who, by land and sea, by road and
river. take in the four quarters of the
world, carrying the cross of Christ to all
peoples: A band Of missionaries then came
forward, and each spoke for his own field

Japan. Rev. Scott Williams spoke for
Mexico, where the church now has 1900

The other missionaries who spoke were
Mrs. Melrose, from Hainan, and w H
Waddell, of Brazil. AS a special favor
to the fereign board 1T was voted to take
