Sey- mour presided in the absence of Miss Barnum of Lime Rock. Following the presentation of reports came very interesting address by Mrs Brewer, wife of Bishop Brewer of Montana, who touched upon the excellent work done in that Western state. At this point adjournment was made for luncheon, the public meeting opening at o'clock. Interest centered in the | address of Bishop Brewer of Montana, l the originator of the missionary ap- pOrtiOnmcnt plan.

In the evening Bishop Brewer met the gentlemen in- formally in the parish house, telling of his struggles to get the apportion- ment plan adopted. It was business | talk to business men. H. II. IIemin- way of Watertown followed with an address on ''The duty of the layman in support of missions" MT Cunningham spoke again in a general way, and Archdeacon Plumb gave brief closing address.
