p door Missions.

1t Is probable that a new missionary
agency of Methodists, started tenta.
lively during the current year, will be
made permanent. This agency has
been given the name open door," a
und created to bridge over times OF
deficiency, and to take advantage of
special emergencies on the mission
helds. Attached to it arc a large num-
hers of officers whose duty it is to see
there is always something in the fund.
Bishop 1hoburn has been a leading
member of the new plan. He has been
n the United States because of his
own illness and that of his wife. He
IS now in the best Of health, however.
and has returned to India. With him
lett out, the new open door commits
slCn will lie all of the old members and
some new men added, especially to
represent the middle west. There is
to be a meeting of the commission on
December 16, when it is said the plan
will be made permanent. Some travel
ing secretaries will be named, whose
duty will consist in increasing interest
in missions among M~ethodists, and it
may be a resident secretary will be
named for the head office. The open
door fund is one of the new features
of Methodist activity, charged chiefly
in future to raise the income of the
missionary society to 81 1000, 900 a year

Trained Men for Y. M. c. A.

A new profession has grown up be-
cause Of the extension Of the Young
Mems Christian association work in
this country. and the trained Y. M. c..
A. secretary is now considered as i'm.
portant a personagesas is the member
Of any of the older professions. The
associations now employ LIZA trained
secretaries. physical, educational and
religious work directors and boys
secretaries, and the demand for these
trained men in every year for greater
than the supply. The association has
two training schools. one in Chicago
and the other in Springfield, Mass, and
each has a three years course. the
two schools graduating about twenty.
five men annually. That this number
is far two small is shown by the fact
that last year the demand of the asso.
citation was for BAT trained men. AS
ISOLATION leaders declare that it woull
be possible to double the number Of
associations in a very short time were
the properly qualified men needed for
secretaries and directors p"rocurable.
The training school at Chicago has
about eighty students, and that OF
Springfield about ninety. The latter
school has a fine equipment, with a
large athletic field and gymnasim and
the most complete physical laboratory
in existence for the study OF physical
training.
