MIR. Fortier declared the capital in

created by the water which such
works have provided. II one reck-

~ Ohm r. MOTT has been asked to

~ in the future to the carrying out
of the plans Of the continuation commit
tee of the Worlds Missionary Conference
and he has consented to consider the
offer and give an answer at an early
date. It is believed he will undertake
the work.
In effect there is offered to young
American missionary leader the active
presidency. or semi-omcial head, OF the
foreign missionary work OF the whole
Protestant extension world. Last sum-
mer there was held at Edinburgh, Scot
land, worlds missionary conference.
In it were represented every great mis-
sionary society in all countries doing
work in so-called heather or non-Chris-
tion lands. Mr.. Mott was chairman Of
that conference.
Adjourning. the conference named a
continuation committee, including among
its members Rev. DR.. J. F. Goucher OF
Baltimore. That committee has just met
and has asked Mr.. Mott hereafter to be
its head, to visit mission fields. to study
mission bodies, to deal with government
problems when necessary. and to report
upon the best ways and means to adj
vance Protestant missionary effort
throughout the world.
How great is the position, the honor
and also the burden. 1t is pointed out, will
be realized when 1t is remembered that
the money OF Christians spent in these
fields each year. Is nearly $50. 100000 and
