BAPTIST SOCIETIES AT WAR.
Home Mission and Publication Or
.nnizntinns CInsh

New York. Jan. 14-Trouble has arisen
between the American Baptist Home Mis-
sion Society. with headquarters in this
city, and the American Baptist Publica-
tiOn Society, having headquarters in Phil
adelphia and branch office in this city
and both representing the Baptists of the
North. each asserting that the other is
trespassing on its field.
The new work in Cuba is in measure
drawn into it, The Home Mission Society.
al meeting this week. appointed d com
mittee Of conference, but predictions are
freely made that the trouble has passed the
conference stage, ami that a general Bap-
tist conference will have TO be called TO
settle il.
The Publication Society nine years ago
began sending out chapel ears. which the
Home Mission Society claims is Il clear
violation of its original purpose. 1t later
sent Or. Diaz TO Mexico. against the pro
test OF the Home Mission Society The
charge is made that the chapel cars start
churches along the line of Western rail-
roads, go away and leave them either 10
die or 10 appeal to the Home Mission So
ciety for assistance.
The tilt was precipitated by the Rev
Dr. Horr. OF Boston, who in Il recent adj
dress inquired if it were not about time
the Publication Society ceased to trespass
upon the domain of another society ana
stuck to its original purpose.
The trouble arises over the fact that both
societies appeal to the same churches for
support for the same work. The two clash
at times. Leading men in the Baptist de
nomination cannot see the wisdom of hav-
ing two societies TO do one line of work.
The Publication Society is supporting Dr..
Diaz in Havana. and declares it will con-
tinue TO do so, in spite of the fact that the
Baptists OF the South and of the North
have divided the island along the line OF
the famous Spanish trocha and between
