They have churches in every state
in the union except two, and while
their membership is largely in the
country towns and rural districts, the
gains In the larger cities have been ex-
cellent during the last decade. In
seventeen Of the large cities where ten
years ago they had only seventy-seven
churches and 20, 9S3 members they now
have 159 churches and 1881 members,
showing a gain in membership of 1873
per cent in a decade. A net gain of
10000 communicates for the past year
brings the membership of the church
up to 1,236,377. They claim their rapid
increase Is due to the fact that they
plead for a restoration of New Tesla
ment teaching, faith and practice and
the realization of Christian union.
Though an American church they have
quite a strong representation in for
eign countries, some $4,000 being in
British dominlons.
They have eighteen colleges in the
United States with over two million
dollars of endowment, $500 students,
900 of them preparing for the min
istry. In the eighty years of their
existence as brotherhood they have
reached the point of contributing $780,
900 for various missionary interests
apart from their regularly organized
agencies. over 100000 were con-
tributed during this year to their
schools and other benevolences.
The Disciples of Christ are weak in
Detroit, having but one church affili-
ated with their missionary work. This
convention is purely for cooperation
in broad evangellstic work at home
and abroad, whether through educa.
tional, industrial or ministerial chan
nels. They seem to believe in the
strong helping the weak, for they came
to Detroit in thousands and made a
great impression upon the city. Among

National Convention at Detroit states
that among those who entered into
rest during the past year were T. D.
Garvin of California, j, H. Lockwood,
Ohio; e. F. Mahon, Indiana, and
Charles P. Williamson of Virginia.
The board has supported 339 mission
aries, gain of IS over last year, work
being done in every state, in Canada,
Manitoba. the Maritime Provinces and
Porto Rico. Those received into the
churches by confession Of faith and
baptism number 6,951, while 1868
others joined the membership. If we
add to this the work done by the
State Boards of Missions, we have the
grand total of missionaries employed,
sos; additions to the churches by mis-
sionary effort, 25, 400; churches organ
lied and recognized, 1893; amount rails
ed for home missions, S244,96f.47. The
total receipts of the society for all pur-
poses the past year was $102, 246.10, a
gain of $19,315.17 over last year. A
total of 2,060 churches made offerings
to the home missionary work.
The society calls attention to its
publications-"Th American Home
Missionary" monthly magazine;
"Our Home Field" and a long list Of
tracts and leaflets giving information
upon the work of home missions. One
of the most encouraging features OF
the years work is the growth OF senti-
ment in favor of boys and Girls Rally
Day for America, which comes the
Lords Day before Thanksgiving, and
the Home Board sends so per cent Of
the net proceeds back to the state
from whence the money comes. A fine
exercise has been prepared by George
B. Ranshaw and James H. Fillmore,
which is sent free of cost to all schools
ordering it. Last year there was a
gain of $2,249 in the income from
Boys and Girls Rally Day, and 1t Is
confidently expected that no less than
$4,000 will be received from this
source this year.
The report then reviews the mission
work in all the various states and
territories of the country. In 1873 the
total amount raised for missions, state
and national, was $4,159S4; in 1883 the
amount reached $1O5, 219.24; in 1893
it was 1929, 1858; in 1903 the grand
total is $645, 11O1O This includes
money raised for home and foreign
missionary work. The board received
$4,000 last year ON the annuity plan.
