years. The argument also is made
that this plan will have a tendency
to encourage young men to entry the
ministry, whereas under the present
conditions the future appears so dis

take up the work at salaries which
they realize will not be sufficient to
care for them during their declining
years.
Foreign Mission Work.
One of the most important matters
to come up today will be the report
of the Board of Foreign missions. In
no other branch of church work is
there greater interest taken by the
United Presbyterians than in the la
bors in foreign lands, especially in
Egypt and India.
The report gives special thanks to
the Earl of Cromer, representative OF
the British Government in Egypt for
his continued good will and kindness
toward the missionaries of the United
Presbyterian church. Thanks are al.
so formally conveyed to Sir Reginald
Wingate, Governor-General of the
Egyptian Soudan, and to his govern
ment, for their kind consideration of
the interests of the missionaries

Ebert McCreery to the Soudan; Rev.
A. A. Thompson, to Egypt and Ralph
w. Tidrick to the Soudan.
The board makes the following rec,

The Board of Foreign Missions I'M
ties with the Women's Board in re-
queSting that the salaries of unmarri
ed professional missionaries doctors,
ordained ministers and college pro-
fessors) be fixed at $3.50 for Egypt and
the Sudan, and at $500 for India; and
that the furlough salary of such mis-
sionaries be fixed at $3.50 per annum.
The Board of Foreign Missions un-
ties with the Women's Boar, in re,
questing that the Assembly's partition
of work between the two Boards be so
changed as to allow either Board to
take up general medical work, the in
tent of a previous ruling limiting the
Foreign Board exclusively to medical
work for men and the Women's Board
to medical work for women.
The Board of Foreign Missions earn
estly requests the General Assembly
to amend it's rule, designating the sew
eral quarters of the year to the four
larger Boards, so that, beginning July
1, 1907, by rotation, the quarter assign
ed to each of these Boards shall be
three months later on each succeed
ing year.
The Board asks the following ap
preparations aggregating $229,675 for
the ensuing year:
The total disbursements last year
were 1926, 40095. The statistical re-
port shows that in both India and
Egypt the growth of the mission chur
ches is large and of q most encourag
ing nature. Two deaths among the
missionaries occurred during the year

Yesterday was devotional day with
the General Assembly. Pulpits of all
the Protestant churches in the city
with one or two exceptions were filled
by visiting ministers. At Reid Mem
orial church DR.. McClurkin, moderator
of the Assembly preached to a very
large audience in the forenoon and
last night the pulpit of this church
was occupied by the Rev. r. M. Rus
sell, of Pittsburg.
Saturdays Work.
AS finally adopted, on Saturday the
report of the committee on reform re-
commends uniform divorce laws for
all the United States, asks the United
States Senate Immediately to expel
Reed Smoot, indorses the proposed
worlds conference to consider matters
of civic government to be held in Phil
adelphia in 1909, indorses the work of
the Anti-Saloon League, and orders
the election of ten delegates to the
national convention to be held in ST
Louis next November; also orders the
election of one member of the assem-
bly, to be member of the national
board of the Anti-Saloon League.
DR.. j. G. Carson, of Xenia, O., one of
the most prominent members of the
assembly said he could not vote to In
dorse the Anti-Saloon League. Il be-
lieve in it's work as citizen, but
do not think the General Assembly
should ally itself with an organization
which is political in character and
which seeks to unite church and state
in this matter" The assembly how
ever. adopted that part of the report
pertaining to the Anti-Saloon League,
though there were many dissenting
votes.
