ly notable in connection with tie
session last night of the Raleigh con-
vocation Episcopal diocese of North

church, was an address by Rev. w.
III. Milton, rector of st. James church
Wilmington, on What has been done
and how for the Diocean Missions
the purpose of the address being to
quicken mission work in the Convo-
cation of Ra.eigh. He told how the
Diocese of Southern Virginia was
gotten out of the rut of adopting res
olutions into a vigorous systematic
human interest sort of spread of in
formation as to missions, the work
and its needs, through judicious edit
ing the Diocean Mission Journal and
a church extension movement, the
annual contributions for missions
growing steadily in five years from
$4,000 to $1,000 and a church ex-
tension fund created arregating now
$4,000 that is providing judiciously
churches and other necessary church
properties are being provided syste-
matically. He paid high tribute to
Rev. Jno. Lloyd, who raised $15, 900
for the church extension fund the
first season and to whom he declares
large credit is due for the advance
ment made. The Raleigh convocation
was nsesnsi6 ering Mission Work in

of the drainage machinery for one of

this country, the draining of the lake
bed and surrounding swamps of Mat
tamuskeet Lake. The company has a
main issue of $500, 200 bonds for the
work and under a special act was is
