LESSONS OF THE CONFERENCE
EPISCOPAL MISSIONARY WORK NEEDS
MEN, MONEY AND PRAYER
FUL SYMPATHY.

Rochester. n. Y. Dec. THE fourth and last
day Of the Protestant Episcopal Missionary Con-
ference opened this morning with Holy Communion
IN the several Episcopal churches In the city
Later in the morning. at St Luke's Church. the
subject Of Conference Problems and Opportun-
ties was taken up and discussed.
The conference ended tonight II gathered mo-
mentum daily until to-day. when interest seemed
to be at its height. The very thing however so
much deplored by many of the speakers has been
manifested from first to last during the conven-
ton. Men have been conspicuous by their absence.
Women have formed the larger part Of the au-
dences. The convention itself. in the opinion Of
those who closest in touch with it. has brought
out distinctly the following things:
Ffrst-The Episcopal Church has a pre-eninent
call to mission work in American lands
work. both at home and abroad.
Thrds m supply & Of funds q for @
larger opportunities is utterly inadequate
and ch are a os the al apathy
prevails throughout the Church toward , missions on
name of missions. ..,..o,
fresh baptism of the Holy Spirit and systematic
instruction in order that zeal for mission work
sixth-The men Of the church should be sys-
o the aid of the missionary Cause and sharing the
burdens which have so long rested upon the wom-
and children
There has been effort in the conference to
minimize gloss these difficulties and faults
Men whose seif-sacriicing and arduous toll upon
the frontiers of missionary work entftle them to
hearing have spoken fearlessiy. bluntly lovingly.
and they have been sustained to the echo by their
brethren in the convention. The impression
created by the convention is that the character
and work Of these missionary heroes is all out
Of proportion to the methods. the sympathy and
the interest of their people at home.
The Rev Dr. Peter Trimbe Rowe Bishop of
Alaska said to "a representative of The Associated
Press:
We sadly need money for hospitals. for schools
and for native helpers. We the only denomi-
nation in alaska WHICH trains the natives to help
for 500 year, which pay them In grub" We
have three hospitals in Alaska. They al
more, especially at Nome The others are at
Rampant Circle City and Skagway. Our native
schools could be planted everywhere. but haven't
the money to plant them; DR.; Sheldon jackson.

Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. IA remarkable meteoro-
logical observation that will undoubtedly become
historical in astronomy made here yesterday

Of physics in st. Ignatius College. The observation
was that of the great circle halo Of Heye-

fore. and probably never perfect Preceding a
period of low barometric pressure halos often
noticed about the sun. The comnonest of these
halos is one that appears at distance Of q de-
Erees from the sun. An outer halo at a distance
OF 4s degrees is also occasionally noted. But the
great halo of Heveus. at distance Of 80 degrees.

rarity, and hundreds OF years may pass before 1t
observed again. The inner circle Of % degrees
