Publication:
The Presbyterian Committee of Publication is again
bereaved of one of its members by the death of Mr.
Robert A. Lancaster, which occurred on Saturday
June 20, 1902. This is the third member CT the Com
mittee removed by death i'll the past two years and
the loss of these esteemed and valuable members is
deeply felt. For several years Mr.. Lancaster has
served the church in the work of this Committee with
intelligent and Jealous attention accepting cheerfully
the duties assigned him and giving his time and. effort
freely to their accomplishment. In the business and
financial affairs of the Committee as well as in its
literary work, he has been especially valuable His
long and extensive experience with these matters has
been of great service to the Committee.
We have found him a faithful co-worker and
courteous Christian gentleman With sincere esteem
and much personal affection mourn his departure
and express deepest sympathy with the home
and the family circle from which he has been so sud
denly called by Him who doeth all things well

Help Needed for Dor Missionaries at Once.

Dear Friends-Please read the following statement
which trust will not be found dry in spite of the
figures it contains. The financial outlook of the For
eign Mission Committee for the present fiscal year
is encouraging. The receipts for the first quarter
ending June goth, were $40, 800 This was gain on
the receipts of the corresponding period of last year
of $2,75I. large number of churches are now
undertaking the individual support of missionaries
and this gives promise that by the end of the present
fiscal year our total receipts will be substantially in
creased those of last year.
But present condition such that we are COM
PEELED to ask you for immediate relief The amount
to our credit in the Union Bank and Trust Company
on the first day of July $500 The amount due
the missions for the quarter, beginning July Ist is
$4,000 This ought to be sent them once because
it takes from thirty forty days for funds from
Nashville to reach some of our missions Unless as
much as half of this amount be to them with
in the present month there will be suffering in some
of our mission fields The total amount of securities
owned by the Executive Committee, which it can
borrow money from the bank is $4,000 The amount
already borrowed from the bank is $500 1t will
be possible for us to borrow than ST 500 addi-
tional to meet the present need of the missions
Again, the total obligations of the Executive Com
mttee for the quarter beginning July Ist, including
bank loan, office expenses, periodicals and literature
will be about $4,000 The receipts for the months
Assuming the same amount for the receipts of the
same months this year, look forward to a deficit
of about $4,000 at the end of the present quarter
The making up of this deficit before the end of the
fiscal year, March 81. 1903, think will not be
difficulty matter but that does not supply the present
needs.
We reduced to the necessity of asking the
church to place disposal at once not less than
$4,000 or $4,000. With this amount, added to what
we hope to receive in the regular contributions we
will be able to feed and clothe brethren through
the summer. If this be done in the way of all
outright gift to the Committee from the church it
would of course be the best thing to do
But there is another way which it be done ami
that is for the churches and individuals to anticipate
what they expect to give to work next October
sending the money now, and leaving it to us TO
devise means of making good the amount thus an
tcipated during the fall and winter months 1t is al
most impossible for to reach the churches during
the months because so many of Our people
away from home.
Let us hear from you friends and brethren at once
in response this call Feeling confident that so soon
the church knows the facts here stated it will rise
to the emergency and relieve the situation we remain

WHEAT-Liverpool cables were I'D
higher this morning and this, together
with the strength in corn, caused a nrmer
opening. There was some heavy selling,
however, by longs who desired to go over
and even up until after the election and
prices soon commenced to ease off, and
closed around the lowest quotations of the
day. The Modern Miller was out at noon
with a bearish document, and St. Louis
heavy selling orders. In spite of heavy
realizing and short selling the market is
only off a fraction, May showing the
largest loss. Our correspondents, IRWIN,
Green & Co, very bullish on the wheat
situation and are urging us to get the
trade in on that side of the market in an
ticipation of a good advance.
All the big houses at Chicago are con-
fident bulls. while the outside trade is in
clined to the bear side. Clearances for the
day We're $4,000 bushels, wheat and flour
a little over 312 million bushels, which is
rather light. A good sized increase Is ex-
pected in the visible supply Monday
CORN-Corn acts weak. The market
opened higher on account of wet weather
in the corn belt and advanced sharply on
short covering This class Of buying soon
stopped. however, and the market then
commenced to show signs of weakness. We
believe corn is a safe sale and would sell
