ExpcctNl Death.

Berlin, April 2.-Dr. Wilhelm Bode,
general director of the Royal Mus
Gums of Prussia, in an article publish
ed here today. says that the late ].

and urged him. DR.. Bode. in 1912, to
pay visit to New York in 1914 for
the opening of the new wing of the
Metropolitan Museum, stating that he
himself would not live to be present.
"Mr. Morgan" says DIR. Bode, was
a great collector Of highly original
type. but he was not an expert. He
realized this. although he was unwill-
ing to admit IN spite OF this facAtyhe
was rarely deceived. as he. chose his
agents and advisors well.".
HE habitually deferred payment
for several months. in case fraud
should be developed in his transac-
tiohs. Dealers had such wholesome
fear Of losing a good customer that
they did not dare to try to pass off
fraudulent or inferior articles on him,
although this might have been easy.
"'Mr. Morgan was responsible for
the threefold or fourfold increase in
the prices OF art objects, but also at
the same time for the awakening Of
enthusiasm in America for art collect
ing"
DIR. Bode ranks the collections Of
Mr.. Morgan with those of the greatest
museums of Europe,

Never in the history of the Executive
Committee of Foreign Missions or the
Southern Presbyterian Church has the
annual report submitted to the General
Assembly been so filed with facts Of
encouragement and cause for thanks
giving a S is true OF the report this year.
The total receipts for the year for
foreign missions are s632,000, an in
crease Of sl29.65s contributed to this
cause over tho previous year. The
committee thus finds itself able TO re-
port all debts and dues paid up to the
opening OF the new fiscal years. and n
balance Of s7.557 in the treasury. IT is
with special gratitude that the com
mitree reports the missionary debt of
more than 500, 900 has been paid.
More than 5000 900 OF this large gift
Of the church To foreign missions was
contributed during the month OF March
last, In connection with the every mem
Der canvass and the centennial celebra-
ton of the birth OF David Livingstone.
During the year forty-one new mis-
sionaries have been added to the force
of workers OF the church on the for
eign field, this being the largest num-
Der the church has sent out In one
year. and the support OF these was
pledged in advance. or the new mis-
sionarics sent out. twenty were sent to

asks for an appropriation of S573 600
for foreign missions the coming year
The report calls attention to the mis-
apprehension in the minds of many OF
the members OF the church regarding

shows that the future work of the OK
ocutive committee of foreign missions
will he seriously hindered unless the
Assembly makes it plain that the new
