Atlantic City, N. J.. May 25.-Home
missions, their work and needs was
the principal topic at today's session Of
the general assembly of the Presby-
terrain church now in session in this
city.
The board of home missions, in it's
report, stated that the toal receipts for
the year were 81, Jos, 343.65. The board
expressed qualification because while
the churches of the country had been
asked to contribute an advance of but
per cent in their offerings the ad
vance had really been per cent and
this advance amounted to $16,707 over
the previous year.
The board reported having mission
aries in nearly every field and in dis
cussing Mormonism said:
''This problem abides and has lost
none of its perplexities. AS a system,
it still has all the ugly marks of sin.
Those who know it best and meet it
daily on the field think it resembles
Mohammedanism in its subtility and
sensuality. Yet there are indications
that God is honoring the work of our
church in is hard field. Men and
women have come out of Mormonism

The action to be taken tonight is
expected to be decisive as far as the

Gardiner bill, as well as the one which
passed the senate some weeks ago.

hair invigorator.
In giving this recipe to the people
he said: PARTISAN Sage is the most

God"
Speaking of Indian missions, the re-
port says:
United States. exclusive of Alaska,
there is larger per cent of heather
unen1ightened by the gospel among
this people than among any other ele-
ment of American population. The re-
port says that the estimated adher-
ents of the Presbyterian faith among
the Indians are $4,000 and that not a
people in the world is more devout
than these Christian Indians"
Discussing Alaska, the report says:
There is really no Sabbath in
Alaskas with steamers large and small
coming into port and the industries
and mines running seven days in the
week. Stores and postoffices are open
just the same every day in the week.
The only hope of our people here is
the coming of some coed Christian
man who will conduct the fish bust
ness and the timber trade on Christian
principles and by example teach Sab
bath observance
The board, in conclusion, asks the
general assembly to consider the adj
visibility of an approach to other
denominations on the question of uni
flying in the matter of chaplaincies in
the army and navy.
