The American board speclalizes upon foreign missions entirely outside the territory of the United States. The Home Missionary society specializes upon the lineof pastoral and evangelis- tic work in organized Congregational churches throughout the United States. The speclalty of the American Mission- ary assoclation is work by church and school for the backward peoples in this gountry belonging to the eight races. The specialty of the Church Building soclety, is to help struggling churches, by loan or grant, to reach self-support throngh housing their congregations and ministers. The Education society has for its specfal mission to sustain schoois of the higher grades in regions not otherwise provided with them, and assist promising students for the min- istry who ceuld mot otherwise get the necessary training. The Sunday School and Publishing soclety finds its special missionary jervlze establishing and mnmuinmf Sunday schools where as yet there Is no church organization. ‘While the board of nisterial relief hag its specialized mission in caring for the unfortunate and despondent in the familles of disabled Congregational ministers. The Apportionment Plan. With such division of labor in the practical working of Congregational missions there has been a growing con- sciousness of its omeness and mutual dependence of parts. Each one of these missionary agencies can best do work in full co-operation with the oth- ers. Accordingly, with much study and pains, what'is known as the ap- portionment plan has been framed and worked out. This takes the form of a united recommendation to the churches and Individuals that they distribute their missionary contributions among these_seven Congregational socleties on the scale of certain definite percent- ages adjusted to the proportional ur- gency. of the work. A number of | churches have already adopted the rec- ommendation and put it in operati But with the larger number of churches | n the apportionment plan still halts. order to make it generally practic it seams necessary that all of the m sionary socleties should be free from debt. Debts to Be Provided For. Three of them, the American board, the Home Mis ty, and American Missionary association, each | closed its last fiscal year under & con- siderable burden of debt. The total of | this indebtedness is $273,094.84. To pro- | vide for this these societies must take | measures ejther separately or together They decided to make of it one strong, concerted measure, such as would en- abie the other four socleties to partici- pate with them and together help on the apportionment plan. The Financial Objective. Accordingly, the figure set f. | financial goal of this joint missionary | campaign s $500,000, all subser¥ptions | conditioned on the round sum of $300.- 000 being secured. Oue of this sum will first be pald the $273,004.84 debts of the American board, the Congrega- tional Home Missionary society and the American Missionary association. Then the balance of $226,905.16 is to he dis- tributed among all seven missionary societies upon the ratios determined »v the apportionment: plan. ~This will ut each of the societies in position ind sufficiently in funds to go forward with its special line of work in full and continued co-operation with the other societies on the apportionment plan basis, and givs all the eocleties insur- ance against future debts. The Plan of Campaign. ‘The arrangements for carying on this campaign through the whole country from New Lingland to the Pacific cons! are as follows: Five districts have been | mapped_out. The New BEngland, with headquarters at _Boston. ‘The middle, with headquarters at} New York. The central west, with headquarters at Chicago. The western, with headquarters at Omaha. The Pacific, San Francisco. To bring it as nearly as possible to| every.

These meetings are designed to be educational, stimulating and agare sive upon practical missionary 1 No public appeals for money or coll tions will be made at any of the meet- ings. All solicitifig of subscriptions | will be from individuals rather than church treasuries, so that the regular | flow of missionary giving in the churches may not be disturbed. One session at each cemier will be devoted to conference with pastors and delegates from churches with reference to the apportionment plan in the loeal church. go far as possible it will be arranged to hold the evening session in conmection with a supper, so as to| have the advantage of athoroughly | soclal atmosphere to help on the cam- | paign. | The Speakers. he meetings it each district will be in charge of a group of speakers rep- resenting the American board. the Congregational Home Missionary so- ciety.the Amerncan Missionary associa- tion, and so far as possible the other four socfeties, theso groups to include leading pastors, laymen,missionary su- perintendents and secretaries. with headquarters at Men Do Not “Nag.” Men as husbands are not so faithful | as women; they are not so tender; | they do not forgive, as women do, con- | duct which disgraces them publicly; they are not so patlent with physical pain; but they have a shining virtue— they do not nag! It 1s not like a man to thresh out an old injury after every grain of cir- cumstance has been extracted and the flai] raises nothing but dust. Nor is it like a man to tumble into the traps of his own logic and rescue himself by 2 burst of temper or a flood of tears. Men fly into passions over trifles just about as much ad women, and often more violently. Their language, for in- stance, in regard to overdone beef- steak frequently is not fit for a lady's ears. ‘And it seems firrational to be upset, as men are, by the misbehavior of collar buttons. Still, it may be ad- mitted that while they fly into pas- slons they do not fly into the.same passions again and agein. And when they forgive they forgive; they do not simply take the offemse away and put it in cold storage.—@ctave Thanet ln Harper's Bazar.
