The resolution was duly adopted. The delegation from Indiana presented |a solution asking that the name of its diocese be changed. The resolution was placed on the calendar. Rev. Dr. Daven- | port of Rhode Island, in reporting for the | committee on marriage and divorce, pre- sented a_ resolution which was adopted. The resolution is as follows; In respect to the canon on marriage and di- vorce, as several members of that committee of the house are also members of the commission of both houses, in order to save the time of making separate motions in this house and tak- ing up your time about it. T will move that the house committec on marriage and divorce have leave to sit with the revision whenever it may deem mutual action by these committees neces- sary.

It has been assumed “nd apparently not considered that we are free HIS INITIAL SPEECK | presenting the | propriations for the coming yvear shall be made, oportionate reduction for any. less ovided, further, that this reduction shall apply proportionately only for the nine months beginning December 1, 1901. ntire receints of the soclety ar ended August 31 were §998,904 47. um includes the large receipts for “‘specinls’” and those for publications and mis- cellaneous purpos: which do not ald the board in_meeting its appropriations. The cost of administering the affairs of the soclety and of making the work known to the rch was seven and seven-tenths per cent of receipts for missions, or six and six-tenths per cent of the gross amount which passed through the treasury, including, as before sald, subscriptions to the stated publications and money received for miscellaneous purposes. The number of parishes and missions which contributed to the work of the soclety by any agency is 4075 (but of these only 1993 sent offer- ings taken at church services). For the year ended August 31, 1800, 393 contributed. TELLS OF DEFICIT IN MISSION BOARD’S FUND The total amount at the discretion of the board for the work for which it made {tself responsible was $326,657 50, of which $456,864 32 came from contributions and $69,693 18" from legacies recefved during the year and $4580 from legacies unused, received the previous year; these legacies having been designated by the testators eltber for domestic or foreign mis- sions or for the use of the society. This left a deficit in meeting the appropriations of $102,- 719 2. The board is concerned chiefly to urge that whatever may be the difference of opinion as to causes, the church will be led to meet the for the to rouse to greater effort and more determined purpose. It any ‘‘more excellent way'’ can be found than that which the present constitution of the society provides let the wisest men find it and present it to the church. The ‘‘wWheels” must be well and carefully constructed, but the matter of essential importance is that. the “'spirit of the 1iving creature shall be in them.' Underneath all this is the need to rouse and stir the church to its duty and its opportunity, and the motives to this must be hope and con- fidence, and not timid anxiety and alarm; con- fidence that shall not take the form of self- complacency, and hope that makes dissatis- faction not discouragement but determination to do greater things. Ex-Governor Prince of New Mexico moved that the report be referred to a committee consisting of three Bishops, three presbyters and three laymen, which was done by a unanimous vote. he re- ports of the Woman's Auxillary and the American Church Missionary societies, previously received, were referred to com- mittees. Promptly at the noon hour Bishop Tut- tié of Missouri, the presiding officer, stopped the proceedings noonday prayer might be held. suming business a report was read by Rev. Dr. Lloyd, the general secretary of the Board of Missions. The report dealt with the scope of the mission work and the conditions and obstacles under which the missionary board was compelled to suffer. The report reviewed at length the work of the past three years and pointed out that urgent and immediate steps must On re- be taken to secure the funds necessary to | maintain the work of the Boara of Mis- in order that| sions of the church. The report of the STIRRING SPEECH IS MADE BY G. C. THOMAS The most stirring speech of the conven- tlon vas made by George C. Thomas, the | partner of J. Plerpont Morgan. Mr. Thomas is the treasurer of the funds of the Board of Missions, and in presenting his report he spoke with earnestness and force. His remarks were frequently in- terrupted by suppressed applause, but at the close of his speech he was applauded for fully two minutes. In dealing with the financial situation of the Board of Missions Mr, said: The general secretary has covered most ad- ‘mirably and clearly some of ‘the points that I expected to make in regard to the financi: condition. 1 am glad that he did so, becaus: he is my chief officer. I serve under him most gladly and willingly. But a word of personal explanation first. You may think it rather strange that the treasurer of the board should reside in an- other city from where the offices of the board are, It was a very unexpected thing to me when the matter was suggested, but after con- sidering it and taking it tentatively for a short time T came to the conclusion that I could direct the affairs of the financiak operations of the soclety where I lived, with constant and daily communication over 'the telephone and with occasional visits to the offices, almost as well as if T resided in the city of New York, and hence I accepted the position regularly after the tentative time had expired. I would like also to say that the office of treasurer became more Continued on Page Eight. fmportant after the Thomas | fail to take advantage of the oppor- tunity to visit H.
