BISHOP DOANE SPEAKS FOR MISSIONS

Bishop Doane yesterday. in Trinity Chapel West
Twentyffth-st.. near Broadway, preached in aid Of
foreign missions. The Bishop said the righteous
ness of those who offered essential feature
of sacrifice. The insufficiency of the support
tended 10 missions was perhaps because the people
who were the offerers, were not as righteous
they should be. The practice of giving to friends
and to philanthropic objects a conspicuous
sign of the times He did not find fault with it,
but when it came 10 saving souls the people said
they could not afford to give any more-there had
been many calls upon their resources already
The souls of were surely as important as their
bodies, but the comforts of people objects of
universal giving, while missions were handicapped
because of lack of means to prosecute the work OF
spreading the Gospel. The Bishop said he was not
advocate OF tithing but there should be some
standard OF systematic giving to the work of the
Christian church IN foreign lands.
Never in the history OF the world. never in any
country OF this round globe. has there been such
lavish giving individuals and TO institutions OF
various kinds declared the Bishop.

power to infict bodily ailments upon their fellow
