From Everywhere
The famous American Tract Society is
feeling the effects of competition in
money raising, and having no special
money raising machinery of its own and
no denominations body behind it, it is
very short of funds for it's work. At the
same time the calls upon its resources
are greater HOW lHdI CNCl bCiOiS, oWAi6
to so many missionaries going into the
new Porto Rican and Cuban fields, and
needing Spanish literature, which this
society alone provides. At the annual
meeting of tn society two weeks hence
efforts will be made to reduce expenses
lin every possible way
There is a radical party In the Interna-
tional Sunday-schoo1 Association that has
urged, at Atlanta, in the convention just
winding up it's session there, the forma-
ton of a closer organization, with July
equipped machinery for national work.
Heretofore the association has been hit
tie more than a committee of Sunday
school workers, interested in Bible study,
and taking up several forms of effort,
the most conspicuous of which was the
selection of the international series OF
S-unday-schoo1 lessons. The attempt this
time to create an autonomous body meets
with serious opposition from those who
urge that there are already more than
a sufficient number of such ~organiza-
tons. Congregationalists do not take
kindly to union or INSTRUMENTATION
bodies which incline to assume authority
Baptists feel the same way. Methodists
and Presbyterians prefer to keep author
ity within eneir own bodies.
