Report Favoring Smaller vi. E.
Conference Tabled

Minneapolis, May 10.-By a vote of
Ais to 319 the quadrennial conference
Of the Methodist church tabled the
report of the committee, which recon-
mended limiting the size Of the gem
eral conference to not more than TOO
nor less than 500. The present size

Foreign Missions.
Contributions received in the last
four years by the general committee
for foreign missions of the Methodist
Episcopal church aggregated $5,177,-
25g, according to the committee report
presented to the general conference
last night. Tabulation Of the contri-
buttons showed that the proportionate
increase in special contributions has
been greater in that period than the
increase in the regular contributions.
The report recommends that the
general conference carefully consider
the question of special gifts with a
view Of harmonizing the donations
with the needs of the different fields.
The question of separate contribu-
tions for foreign and home mission
fields is also presented to the con-
ference in the report and attention is
directed to the progress in foreign
missions in the past twenty-four years,
showing an increase of 492 missionar
les and 4,391 native preachers.
The difficulties met by missionaries
by reason of revolutions in two of the
most important foreign fields, Mexico
and China, are touched on in the re-
port, which finds cause for rejoicing
that the future in both fields is bright.
