Is from one point of view a serious mat

that the church has reached the limit
of her ability to give, particularly when
1t is remembered that 1900 congregations

tributed nothing to the common expense,

Thucyddes instead of Herodotus received

Was not that deliciously characteristic?
Is there another man in American public

Thucydides?

PRIMATE IS AT HARVARD
Convention Sends Greeting and Assur-
ances of Profound Sympathy to the
international Peace Con-
gress Now in Session.

Boston, October missionary matters
were considered during the greater part
of todays session of the general trien-
NAL convention of the Episcopal church.
The house of bishops and house of depu-
ties were in joint session as the boards
of missions nearly all day.
The delegates to the woman's auxiliary
were also present
The presiding Right Reverend Daniel
S. futile of MISSOURI, presided over the
joint session.
Rev. Hiram Hulse a Cuban missionary
advocated the election of a bishop for
Cuba, and Bishop Henry Y. satterlee
of Washin ston, D. c., presented a reso-
luton asking that a missionary bishop
for Mexico be appointed. No action was
taken on either proposition today.
The convention sent greeting and assur-
ance of profound sympathy to the Inter
national Peace congress.
The Archbishop of Canterbury and
several American bishops addressed a
meeting Of students held under the aus
pieces of st. Iaul's society of Harvard in
Cambridge tonight
Report of Secretary.
There was much interest in the session
TO consider missions because of the wide-
spread criticism of the apportionment plan
for the assessment of dioceses in support
of general mission fund. The report
of the secretary showed that many do
ceses had failed to raise their shares of
the apportionment. The total missionary
receipts during the year from all sources
save legacies were 100000, increase
over the preceding year of $4,000 The
portionment for last year was $500 900 and
the receipts to apply upon it were only
$4,000, or a shortage on expectations of
$215,000. -he board, however, Is not that
sum in debt, but merely fell short Of
that amount in its requests of the church.
A large part of the day was devoted to
discussion of methods improving the
missionary organization.
Treasurer George G. Thomas in his re-
port to the board of missions, said:
Under the apportionment plan, to-
wards apprc priations of the board, $413,-
244 had been received from 4190 parishes
and missions out Ct the total number of
6451. This Is a gam for the year of $780,
1853 and fifteen parishes.
Through all Observation-Disclosures 5000 0O6
had been received toward the appropria-
ton of the board from 5117 parishes and
6451. This Is total gain of $24, 549 and a
loss of thi; ty-three parishes and a mis-
sion.
In the il1O missions contributing under
the apportionment plan. there are 625,-
600 communicates reported. In the 300
that were not heard from by parish offer
