IS SI7,OOO,OOO SHORT OF EXPENSES
The Postal Department Deficit for the Past Year Is the
Largest in It's History.

IN his annual report for the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1908, Post
master General Meyer gives the total
receipts for the year as 5000. 361,-
$50, thereby showing a deficit of
s16,975,2 the largest in the his
tory of the department with an ad-
ditional loss from fire, burglary, etc,
of $37,056. The deficit of 1909, it
is estimated again, will exceed $16,-
08O,OO0.
Attention is particularly called to
a number of improvements in bust
ness methods of the department as
tending to its advantage and the saw
ing of considerable amounts. Recon-
r9endation is again made for the Gre
alton of the position of director of
pests, at high salary, and who shall
hold office during good behavior, the
object being to have a continuity of
policies for the benefit of the postal
service and the people CT the United
States.
Necessity for Good Roads.
The necessity for good roads is
pointed out in connection with the de-
yeIOpment of the rural free delivery
service. 1t is suggested that should
congress grant the department au-
thority to utilize rural routes still
further by the enlistment of a limit
ed parcel post confined entirely to
be possible to earn additional reve-
nue. amounting to millions of dollars
and at the same time benefit the
farmer by enabling him to have mer-
chand5se delivered when ordered by
telephone or postal card, which
otherwise would not be purchased !

VIGOROUS MISSION DEBATE.
IN BIG CHURCH COUNCIL BE-

Churchmen Finally Decide to Allow

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-With a
unanimity of action that went far be-
yond the expectations of the leading
spirits in the movement for the unity
of church action the federal council
of the Churches of Christ in Ameri-
ca, which has for it's object the bring
ing together of the christian bodies
of America into united service for
Christ and the world, began it's bust
ness session today.
The organization of the council has
been practically completed and the

than 400, representing thirty-three
denominations with a membership of
about 100000 members. have en-
tered upon the real work of the coun-

Unity in Mission Lands.
The report relating to the CO.
operation of all the churches in the
foreign mission fields presented by
the Rev. James l.. Barton of Boston,
congregationalist, secretary of the
American Board of Commissioners
for foreign missions, caused an in
teresting debate.
In connection with the report he
presented five resolutions, one of
which favored the closest possible
federation of all christian churches
in foreign mission fields and the
elimination of UNCONVENTIONAL dis
tinctiOns."
Bishop HOss Dissents.
Bishop Hoss of Nashville of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, south,
attacked the resolution in a vigorous
speech. If denominations are to be
eliminated he wanted to know to
which denominations the teachings in
foreign fields shall correspond I'VE
may have too many denominations. "
he added, but who is going to can
eel them? Unity is good, but liberty
is better
DR.. William H. Roberts of Phila-
delphia, statistical clerk of the Pres
byterian church in the United States,
supported the resolution.
DR.. Barton did not think mission
aries should waste their time ex-
planning to the unsaved the differ
ence between the beliefs of Calvin,
Wesley or the other great church
leaders, but should devote their en-
ergies to the salvation of souls.
Negro Gets an Office.
The reference to the elimination
of UNCONVENTIONAL distinctions was
stricken out after considerable de-
bate and the resolution was adopted.
Another resolution adopted an
proves the union of educational in
stitutiOns in mission countries wher-
ever practicable, in which teachers
and students of various denOmina-
lions shall have equal privileges.
The other report considered con-
tanned resolutions recommending CO.
operate work along special lines of
Christian effort among inter-denomi-
national organizations, all of which
were adopted without discussion.
