LAWYER ADVISES MINISTER'S.
SUGGESTS THAT MISSION WORK BE CONDUCTED
IN A BUSINESS MANNER

cpal topic under discussion by the Protestant
Episcopal ministers of this city at their monthly
meeting yesterday afternoon in the Church Mis-
sions House, Twenty-second-st- and Fourth-ave.
The principal speaker, Burton Mansfield, a law
yer, of New-Haven, Conn. advanced the idea that
the people failed to look at the matter of missions
in business manner. He suggested that the Board
of Missions engage about six men, and that the
territory be divided into as many districts, each
being placed in absolute charge OF his dis
trct. The speaker thought that with this arrange
ment every member OF the church could be seen
and asked to subscribe to the missionary fund
The Rev. DIR. f. o. Flags advocated working
among the business men.
The committee appointed to consider the advlsa-
bility holding a series of Advent missionary
meetings reported favorably upon the plan. and
instructed to prepare for 1t: The principal
meeting will probably be held in Carnegie Hall, at
which the best speakers obtainable will be present
