Missionary monthly magazine;
sour 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-

Lords Day before Thanksgiving, and
the Home Board sends 50 per cent Of
the net proceeds back to the state
from whence the money comes. A fine
exercise has been prepared by George
