From Everywhere
Disciples Of Christ nave practically COM
pleted their task of raising three larger
funds than on any previous year. These
funds are jubilee ones, to celebrate q half
century of home mission effort. Their
task was $4,000 for foreign, $1,000 0 for
home and $4,000 for woman's missionary
effort, and at this writing so nearly have
all amounts been raised that success 10
assured. The entire denomination has in
terested itself. their papers ringing week
after week with appeals, but the canvass
has been, 1t is said, to their credit, a
wholly dignifed one. and givers ave
come forward apparently because they
wished to do so. Their meeting takes
place next week In Cincinnati. Special
trains are planned from Cleveland. Wash
ington, Chicago and ST. Louis.
The American Missionary Association,
which represents a part of the home work
OF Congregational churches. is to have at
its annual meeting at Binghamton this
month six graduates Of Fisk University,
who are to render some negro melodies
Of the old order, doing SO with all of the
plantation ardor and abandon. and also
some .Te Deums'' by Sullivan and Gou~
nod, selections from orators by Han
del and Beethoven. The purpose is to
prove that the brain OF the negro is capa-
Bile Of so wide a range. The performance
has its sociological and educational value,
for It IS said the graduates execute both
kinds OF music with facility and judg-
ment. The sextette is to sing elsewhere,
not for gain, but to show to givers in
churches of what the negro race is capa-
Bile under favorable conditions.

expected to; take into American control
the Diocese of Honolulu. This diocese
has always been an Independent one, with
a nominal allegiance to the Church of
England. The Bishop Is nominated to
his See by the Archbishop OF Canterbury.
The last general convention would have
taken action had some minor matters be-
