The "Kaffee Klatsch.' which was given
under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid
Society of the Evangelical Lutheran
Church of Holy Trinity at Bank Hall,

| cess.

given by Pastor E. E. Neudewitz and
the members of the Church Council, Mr..

From Everywhere.
There is a vigorous Protestant propa-
ganda in this country for France and Bel
GUM. 1t is under the direction of the
Huguenot Society of America and has for
it's object the searching out of Huguenot
families in France and organizing them
into active congregations. The head
worker in the Department of France and
Belgium, the Rev. Jean Knatz, has just
arrived here for the purpose of organ
izing auxilfaries to this work.
Baptists go to San Francisco for their
anniversary meetings this year. A feature
of these meetings will be a historical adj
dress by the Rev. DR.. H. L.. Morehouse,
setting forth what has been accomplished
by Baptists during the last fifty years in
Pacific Coast States. Another feature will
be a memorial service for early workers
or the coast. Still another will be reports
from general missionaries now engaged
in all States west of the Rocky Noun
tains The Chinese Baptists, who are not
few in comparison, are to appear in their
native costumes. At these meetings the
various Baptist mission societies make re-
ports of their financial condition. Two
years ago the principal boards were re-
lieved of debt through the munif1cence OF
John D. Rockefeller and efforts of Bap-
fists themselves. This year their showing
is SO favorable that there is no longer
any fear of relapsing into the old con-
dition. 1t may be that the anniversary
meetings will have to consider the pres
ent. difference between the Home Mission
Society and the Publication Society.
which has now reached an acute stage.
The American Baptist Missionary Union
of Boston has elected the Rev. DR.. Hem
~ M. King, pastor of the First Baptist
Church of Providence, to be the foreign
secretary in place of the late Rev. DR.. S.
w. Duncan 1t is generally understood
that he will accept the place. The cleo
ton was unanimous. The Rev. DR..
King was formerly a pastor in Albany,
and has been at Providence about ten
years. The American Baptist Home
Mission Society has chosen Frank R..
Hathaway to be it's treasurer, in place of
the late J. r. Smelling. He is a graduate
of Columbia University, and a former in
structor in the Chicago Univer-
sity. During the interim since the late
treasurer's death d. A. Waterman has
been acting treasurer. The Missionary
Union, of which the Rev. DR.. King is now
to be Junior secretary if he accept the
election, is the foreign missionary agency
of the Baptists of the North, and one of
the largest of missionary bodies in the
foreign field. 1t already has advance
representatives in the Philippines.
The Brotherhood of st. Andrew, with q
membership of about 1000 and composed
of young ment in the Episcopal Church
having for their aim the getting of other
young men to attend church services, is
just now agitated over the prospect of
losing its general secretary, Mr.. Wood,
who has been elected corresponding sec
rotary of the Board of Missions of the
same church. He has not sought the new
place, and says he will not accept it if his
doing so will make him of less instances
to the church. The same Board of Mis-
sions has had under consideration a rec
commendation for the establishment of a
missionary training-school. 1t has decided
that a new school is unnecessary, and has
adopted a resolution urging existing coll
