Bishop Bessums delivered a short address on the subject of missions, urging the necessity for effort In that Hue, and stating that $3000 had been asked for this year, the amount last year having been $2500.

'Gresham, formerly at Trinity church. In this city, has become rector of St, James, Baton Bouge, since the publication of the last book of the council. In preparing the corrected list for publication nis name was left under Trinity, where he no longer is. There were two additional delegates resent at the forenoon session yester-ay, namely, George W. I of the church of the Good Shepherd, Lake Charles, and Samuel Cate, of Grace church, Hammond.

There waa to have been a meeting of the junior auxiliary at Christ church cathedral next Sunday, but owing to other events of importance on the same date it has been postponed Indefinitely and announcement of the date will be made. EPISCOPAL LAD EES. The Woaaa'i Auxllitvirr to tho Bourd of Misstoms Holds Ita Aaaaai Heetlaf. The woman's auxiliary to the board of missions, that strong and earnest body of workers which haa been justly characterised as the right arm of the board of missions in Louisiana, held lta annual meeting yesterday In Christ church cathedral chapeL The meeting was the best attended In years and the collections were the largest lever reached, at any Individual meeting. The annual meeting la always held; In conjunction with the annual session, of the diocesan council, for its report forms a.

portion of the work received by the council. The meeting yesterday was honored by the presence of Bishop Secsums, Bev. Beverley Warner, Bev. Matthew Brewster, Bev. J.

W. Moore, Bev. Gordon Bakewell. Bev. Mr.

Nevill and others. The woman's auxiliary has for lta object the diffusion of missionary Intelligence by means of systematic effort and union, the Increase of missionary activity among the women of the diocese, the anion of previously existing societies and the encouragement and formation of societies where there are none. Especially is it the duty of menfbers to increase the missionary spirit in their own localities by arousing the societies to greater effort, in working for missionaries, in raising money for the cause, and diffusing Intelligence concerning the past and present missionary -work of the Kplscopai church. The necessity of greater effort and the essential difference between -parish work as distinguished from missionary work were among the salient topics of yesterday's meeting. The session opened at 11 o'clock by the morning prayer and communion service.

The Bev. Matthew Brewster conducted the services and preached the annual sermon, dealing with the beauty and truth of missionary work and the great good that was being accomplished and wnich could still be accomplished by the united efforts of vnm.n At the close of the service Mrs. Ida" lucnaruson, president, called the meeting to order. For the present the reading the minutes and roll call waa dispensed with to give the members an opportunity of hearing Bishop Seseuma and Warner. DR.

WABNEB SPOKB first, 'expressing the great pleasure it gave him to say a few words before a body of workers that waa doing so much good In the church aa the Woman's Auxiliary to the Board of Missions. Those who knew anything at all about the missionary work at Trinity church could tell how deeply Interested he waa in missionary effort. It was a work to which one must bring the truest missionary instinct, an undying seal and a determination to do something for nis Master. Some one had truly said that a church without the missionary spirit was a dying church; he would go further and say that It was a dead church and the sooner It passed away and made room for the earnest, active church-ready to do the Master's work the better for the world. The missionary spirit Is the basis of Christian effort it gives life, strength and fresh Impulse to the church.

It was toot aald Dr. Warner, that be had the opportunity or peaking before th woman's auxiliary, but it was not through any lack of Interest in its work. It was because be was so much engaged In parochial work-bat he wished to take this opportunity to lay stress upon 1 diocesaln work as one of the -first and most. Important works of the church. He wanted to assure the auxiliary personally, if not m-clally, of his Interest, and he deemed It a privilege to be able to record tbe good work of.

auch 'a body aa the woman's auxiliary. He was not acquainted with the exact figures of their work, but he knew that more could be accomplished If all the women in the church would only realise what It means for a body. to gatner and give unUed effort to any cause. Many de not how i- important thia -work Is, and especiaUy in av community like thin, which Is essentially a missionary diocese. In Louisiana the splendid truth.

conld easily be demonstrated of how great work may be accomplished in Tittle centers realising their Importance aa individual bodies and what they could become by to-; rether for the great good the chorea. No community should feel Itself to small or so Insignificant that It. not Jiave Its missionary workers. Much had already been accomplished by this coming together of bodies of and toe felt It bia duty to congratulate the bishop of the diocese In having gathered about him. such a body, as the womana aux- UDrf Warner" closed i by, eayinir that Jke could esteem -ll a prtvU ege tor the association to call tipon him at any Boars th.o Blsnattrre cf km.

soon become chronic; and deep seated, and are a sure sign that the time, to say words of encouragement or to help the members In their work. BISHOP SESSUMS delivered a few timely and Interesting remarks, saying that It was not hia intention to Impede the deliberations of the auxiliary by an extended address. Yet he could not feel that words of encouragement from the clergy were a hindrance to the work or the meeting rather did it seem to him that the association, knowing that Its efforts were appreciated highly, would be inspired to even more earnest work. Dr. Warner had congratulated him upon having at his call such a body of workers as the woman's auxiliary.

said Bishop Sessums, "I congratulate myself and the diocese for the Inspiration and help that comes from such workers." Though the necessities of the diocese are tne enthusiasm is such that the signs are clear that the Important work Is growing, and the spirit la growing among the workers. From all over the state reports of the growth of organizations are coming In. and the people are beginning to understand the scope and spirit of diocesan work and the organic laws that underlie it. The real sign of missionary work and progress Is not minimising its Importance, but in magnifying it and putting forth constant effort to appreciate what It really means, and appreciating the work that lies at hand and not going Into foreign missionary work when there Is so much to be done at Our own doors. To be sure, there waa a certain Idealism about foreign missionary fields, rather than the commonplace work that lies at home perhaps It Is too near to be picturesque our own little field at home and It does not seem so beautiful as the work In far off Islands, but If there was one purpose which he wished to emnhaslse.

said the bishop. It was the necessary purpose of begin ning our wora at nome, ana aoing me duty that lies nearest to the hour and locality. -v It came as a suggestion on his part this Incorporating of home or diocesan work Into the woman's auxiliary. UuAng the past year he was sure tnat some $300 or $400, If not more, had been expended In the work around home It was not a colossal amount, if measured by dollars and cents, but it represented much In the great practical lesson it was teaching and the cood accomplished. The Interest was growing apace; the societies were co-operating, more and more; the appeal had been made and works were taking on larger magnitude.

Dr. Warner had alluded to the missionary spirit. Some writer has said that paaranlsm -Or Buddhism and Christianity were one, with this difference that Buddhism belleres that One Uod and one man make the world, and Christianity believes that one ioa ana two men make the world and one of these is the Godhead and. love. Leaning on love, and entirely trpon it and the god of love.

we are Christians, and this love for-one another makes us one In the -true, missionary spirit. The work of the woman'a auxiliary was not as largely understood as it should be: especiaUy In the parishes. Each parish has lta own way of. raising funds: but what goes through the hands of the womanTs auxiliary Is Intended for real missionary work. All women should become members and supplement the work of the board of missions.

He congratulated the workers, and. knew that in doing so he was only voicing the grateful appreciation of all clergy of the diocese. The president thanked the bishop and Dr. Warner, and both withdrawing, the regular business of the session was taken up, Mrs. B.

Stephen's, Vnuanisport; Christ, church.

Bastrop; Church of the Redeemer, Oaa Ridge; Grace church, St. Franclavllle, and Grace church, Hammond. This branch of the Woman's Auxiliary, has grown very slowly, but have we no cause to hope that from henceforth It wUl not be long ere every parish will be working for the cause of missions? It lathe Lord's work, and, as his. followers, every baptized person ought to realise they should be workers In hia vineyard, -which is the world. If Christianity is not missionary, it is nothing.

The bishop has asked me to state exactly what the woman's auxiliary Is what is the main object, and what the special objects of the-workv- The Woman's Auxiliary to the Board of Missions Is simply an -auxiliary. THE OBJECT. The object la to aid and supplement the work of the board of missions, and to use their Influence in encouraging a missionary spirit In their parlabea. THE 8PECIAI OBJECTS OF, THE First The preparation of boxes of personal and household goods to be sent annually missionary clergymen, named to the general secretary by their bishops. Second Boxes for mission schools, hospitals and for distribution at mission stations.

Third The collecting and disbursing of money tor the insurance of the lives of married foreign missionaries, and annual payment of Fourth The support of women serving as missionaries on stipends, ranging from $100 to $900. Fifth The maintenance of scholarships In mission schools, from $25 to eixtn xne support oi tne contingent fund. with which boxes are supplied to. missionaries disappointed in receivinx from branches of the auxiliary. Seventh The maintenance of the leno-tna library for supply ing clergymen with needful books.

Elehth Educating missionaries' chil dren. Ninth The triennial united offering. For this DarnoM vou are asked to take united offering boxes and to drop in 1 cent on eacn esunaav in tne year tauy uoo can drop In as much more as they are able), and twice a year to open and aend the contents to the diocesan custodian of the united offering boxes. Each parish la requested to appoint a parish custodian, who wUl be responsible for the number of boxes taken. -There is a power In the systematic eirlna- of a cent as witnessed In the united offering-in October last, when $82,589 64 was nanaea in to tne board of missions from aU the branches of the Woman's Auxiliary Chins, Japan, Mexico.

Brazil and the Indian branches contributing. Witness alao what the cnildren's blessing boxes have con-, tributed to diocesan missions, from 1 cent given for each blessing or pleasure during only the summer months. Each branch la expected to aid and supplement the parish pledges In raising funds tor diocesan missions. Monthly envelopes are used for that object. If each communing member of the church In this diocese would contribute 10 cents monthly, over $11,000 would be raised for that purpose.

Will not, therefore, the rectors of every parish urge the members of their churches to assist the bishop by systematically giving 10 cents a month tor diocesan mlsslonsT MISS SUTHON. Our missionary from this city and state la now stationed at Kanaxawa, Kasa province of Kyoto, Japan, working under the direction of and with Bev. Mr. Doorman. Her stipend slnee her return to Japan is now $600.

We have never succeeded In raising the full amount; for that reason the Louisiana branch has never undertaken any other work, except the sending of $10 annually to the little mission school and church in Cashier Val- leiince the last annual meeting there has been called to the life beyoqd from our members: Mrs. 8.
