The total receipts from all sources for
home missions was $8S.397; ministers
and teachers employed, III; outlay for
missionary work and buildings, S37,9e7.
The expenditures were as follows: For
the support of five missionaries and
fourteen churches among the Mexicans;
ffty-six ministers and 1S1 churches in
Texas; twenty-one ministers and forty
two churches in Arkansas; seventeen
ministers and forty chorches in Florida;
II ministers and forty-six churches in
the Indian Territory; two ministers and
four churches in Georgia; four ministers
and nineteen churches in Mississippi; !;
eight schools and twenty teachers in the
Indian Territory, and ten schools and
twenty-seven teachers in the mountains.
The whole number of churches aided
was 348.
The amount expended for church
erection was $2,349, and in addition
S273 for Durant College; total $2,622.
The committee has been compelled to
enlarge the sphere of our operations,
taking in other presbyteries in the older
synods, aid having been extended to
presbyteries in Georgia, Kentucky,
North Carolina, Mississippi and Tennes-
see.
The Indian Territory and Oklahoma
are developing faster than any section in
the South. The church has prospered
greatly. Four years ago we had twenty
four churches, and now have forty six,
an increase of nearly 100 per cent in the
Territory. The contributions four wears
ago from the churches was S1,12O. as
against SO, 1S8-an increase of nearly $50
per cent.
The mission school branch of the
work continues to prosper in the Indian
Territory and in the mountains of Geor-
gia, Tennessee, Kentucky and North
Carolina. Among the Indians several of
the schools have become self supporting
and receive no aid. In the mountain
schools there are 1918 pupils. The sec
rotary received applications from all
over the country for assistance from the
mission school fund, but is compelled to
decline many, as he can use only the
voluntary contributions for this work.
The outlook for the work in Texas and
Mexico is most encouraging.
The evangelistic work has been pushed
as far as the funds would permit, but
not In proportion to opportunities or the
need OF the work.
The ladies' missionary societies sent
the largest contributions this year in the
history of the work.
The assets have increased from $26, ,915

report will include the plan adopted by
representatives of the several Presbyte-
rian churches in Pittsburg last year.

III an ecclesiastical council from each
Church body for the promotion of CO.
operative work.

meetings of the assembly will be open.

called, showing an attendance of about
$50 delegates, representing the thirteen
synods of the assembly.
DR.. Plunkett made short address to
the assembly, in which he said:
81 shall endeavor in the fear of God to
act rightly in all things that shall come
before me in this service, and ask that
in all things the ends that we hope to
reach may be reached in the fear of our
God"
DR.. Robert Hill, of Dallas, and T.. B..
McCluer, of Norfolk, Va, were chosen by
the assembly aa temporary clerks of the
meeting.

SUNSHINE

I know the whole crowd Of young fel
lows,
Who travel the run through our
town,
And some are all laughin' and smilin
While others are robed in a frown-
But the one that does business, I no
tice,
No matter what may be his line,
Is the man who pOurs out with each
measure
A 'bonus" Of bubbling sunshine.
I'm not much for readin' nor learnin'
Nor copyin' wisdom from books;
1 amt stuck on new fads, nor fash
ions,
Nor wearin' tight shoes for their
looks:
Just jamming your house full of money
May seem to this age a good sign,
But I b'ieve in the Old-fashioned doc
trine
OF filing your heart with sunshine.
The world has gone mad over gainin'-
The preachers are carpin' at trusts
The rich amt content with the center
They grab and they light Tor the
crusts-
The palace is dark, damp and dingy,
Where shadows and ghost-fears in
Irvine;
While the cot Of the POOR humble
peasant
Is bright with the rays Of sunshine.
Would I barter the light for the dark
ness2
Would ] give up my life for your
COLA?
Would I sacrifice precept and manhood
At the affairs where hOnors are sdd2
No. still let me live free and simple.
And practice His teachings divine,
To I'LL one sad heart, dark with sor-
row,
With the blessings and light OF sun
shine

During the Turkish war the
day after Che passage OF the Danube
had been made good the emperor Of
Russia crossed the river to congratu-
late and thank BIS gallant soldiers. In
front Of a long. massive line formed on
the slope below Sistova. awaiting the
coming Of the great white car, stood
Drogomirod, Yolchine and Szobeleff,
the three generals who had been the
leaders Of the successful attempt.

mander. the emperor embraced and
gave him the cross Of St George. He
shook hands warmly with YOlchine, the
brigade commander, and gave him, too,
a st. George to add to the decorations
which this CHEEKY little warrior had
been gathering from boyhood in the
Caucasus and central Asia. Then the
emperor strobe to where Skobelenf
stood. and men watched the little scene
with interest, for it was notorious that
skobeleff was in disfavor with his SOW
ereign, and yet Of him the camps were
ringing with the story OF his conduct

Of strong prejudices, he was not yet

character Of Skobeleff.
That officer, for his part, flushed
scarlet, then grew deadly pale and
seemed to conquer an impulse as he set
his teeth hard ard maintained bis dis

insult in the very face Of the army and
a gross injustice, but Skobelef endured
It in q proud silence.
The time soon came to that gallant
and brilliant soldier when he could af-
ford TO be mananimous. As the cam

Successful treatment of yellow

two factors. which are important both
for the l8yman and the physician TO
