The statistics are as follows: self suDDortlne. The Rev. Mr.

Jackson of Patchogue stirred the association by telling of bis "work in that hard field. The Rev. J. W. Flower, who is stationed at Port WashinEton, spoke encour aeinelv.

althouch he said he did not believe there was a field in Darkest Africa which needed help more. He said his people did not like to be lectured. One man had been there and had used the expression, "Shut up like a clam," and some of the people said: "We won't hear that man any more. He has thrown our business into our faces." The Rev. Cornelius Woelfkin made a few remarks regarding last year's deficit in the association's funds and said there was a line of demarcation somewhere, and that it was time for someone to blush before God for the condition prevalent.

Dr. Humpstone said he thought it was a disgrace for any "Christian or any Christian body to attempt to do work for the Lord on credit. That Is what we have been doing ever since I have been a member of this association. It is not honest. Let these missionary pastors into your churches and let them tell you what they are doing, and they will help lift us out of this condition.

Thi association has fallen into the habit of letting a few of the churches do all the work. It is not fair, why, we agree upon a percentage for the entertainment of the delegates, yet some of the churches do not even pay their percentage. Let's quit doing benevolent work on tick. Let us be honest, pay our mission aries and our obligations." The report of the missionary committee was adopted. Dr.

Nelson renewed his motion and kit was unanimously carried. The association adjourned after prayer by the Rev. H. B. Hudson.

At the Sunday school anniversary held in connection witn tne meeting of the Lone Isl and Baptist Association to morrow evening tne quartet ana cnorus choir, under the direction of Mr. Moore, the organist, will render a number of selections. LIFE ON "A MAN OF WAR. Interesting Address by Commander Wadhams of the Navy at Lafayette Avenue Church. Those who went last evening to the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church to hear the lecture of Commander A.

V. Wadhams of the United States Navy, enjoyed a rare treat. It was not so much a lecture as a recountal of personal experiences. The graphic delivery of the commander and his personality, impressive and strong, gave to his talk greater interest than if it had been a formal lecture. Tho subject was "Life on Board a Man of War." Commander Wadhams has been in the Navy a number of years.

He did service in the Civil War and since then his career has been rich with interesting incidents and experiences in many lands. He has a son, by the way, also in the Navy, a survivor of the Maine disaster. Recently the commanded has taken great interest in establishing Young Men's Christian Association headquarters on all the battle ships. Concerning this movement he saw Admiral Dewey in Boston last week and was promised his hearty co operation. Commander Wadhams said last evening that he thought $150,000 should be raised to erect a suitable building for the Young Men's Christian Asso ciation for sailors in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Already, he said, an individual, whose name he was not at liberty to give, had promised $30,000 of that amount. The purpose of his talk was the necessity for this kind of work among the sailors. It was expected that Admiral Philip would attend the meeting at the church, but he decided. Commander Wadhams explained, to remain at the Navy Yard to attend services of the Young Men's Christian Association on board the Vermont. The Commander gave an account of the development of the American Navy how, before the Civil War, the United States had ranked fifth In the navies of the world and how, at the end of this war she was first, with 51,000 men.

Then came the period of decline, when no attention was given to tho Navy, until, in 1SS3, when the Navy began to recuperate, It ranked nineteenth, with recent appropriations now taking fourth place. The difference between the old and the new ships was explained, and an account followed of the various guns on a battle ship. Commander Wadhamit drew a picture of life the sailors on board a big ship and told of the daily routine. Incidentally, he made a strong plea for the support of the Young Men's Christian Association movement among the men. The narration of some of his own experiences and the characters he had met in the service concluded the talk.

He was given a vote of thanks by the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society, under the auspices of which the lecture was delivered.

Rough Riding and Special Courses in Signaling to Be Taken Up. The Second Signal Corps of the National Guard is commencing its season with a full membership. Many of the men served in the United States Volunteer Signal Corps at Chlckamauga Park and Santiago. A rough riding class of forty men Is being organized which will ride once a week independently of the regular drills commencing in November. The entertainment committee has made ar rangements to hold a smoker In the armory, 80X Dean street, once a month during the indoor season, a dance and euchre in November, a military dance at the Farm House during the holidays and a military reception and dance in the spring.

The athletic committee is working hard on very promising material for an Indoor base ball team and expects to commence In the inter organizatlon tournament in November.

MINIATURE WILD WEST. Troop Members to Have a Circus in the Near Future. At the meeting of Troop Monday night it was decided to give a wild West performance at the Armory during the winter. All the characteristics of Indian and cowboy life on the frontier will be portrayed by the performance. Beside this there will be a circus with clowns and all the acting seen In some of the large combinations.

There are many expert horsemen in Troop and the idea of giving a performance, such as has made Buffalo Bill famous, was decided upon as the very thing to enable the boys to display their skill rtaing bareback, superior marksmanship and tumbling. There will be all sorts of races at the armory. A typical wild west show and circus will be given with an attack by Indians on an immi grant train and rescue by cowboys. There will be the funny clowns, the Indian braves and their squaws, Indian ponies and all the paraphernalia that goes to make up such realistic performance. The troopers will be the Indians and cowboys.

The scheme Is new and so much enthusiasm is manifested that the affair is sure to be a success. All the members of the troop are in hearty accord. It has not yet been decided when the performance will begin. HARLEM AND THE BRONX. The Lenox Athletic Club, at One Hundred and Seventh street and Lexington avenue, is about to close its doors for good, and there is much rejoicing thereat among the better ele ment in Harlem.

The building has been used alternately as a drill hall for the Harlem companies of the Seventy first Regiment, a roller skating rink, a Jewish tabernacle, a place for holding political gatherings, an ice skating palace and an athletic club, and every venture seems to have been a failure. The Lenox Club, it is said, has lost about $5,000 since it opened for the season. Most of tho important bouts which had been arranged to take place there have been transferred to the Broadway Athletic Club. It Is stated that the club was too far up town to prove a winning card. The establishment of the bureau for the collection of assessments and arrears of taxes for the Borough of the Bronx in the Crotona Park Building, One Hundred and Seventy seventh street and Third avenue, has proved a great accommodation to the taxpayers of the borough.

Previous to February 1 it had been the custom to travel down town to pay taxes and assessments. On account of the many assessments to be collected which were caused by the largs number of public improvements completed, and in process of completion, this office has been the most important branch of the assessment and arrears bureau in the city. The volume of business is said to be In excess of that of the City of Brooklyn, and exceeds that of Queens and Richmond combined. Since the opening nearly $1,400,000 has been collected. It was through the efforts of Deputy Collector James E.

Stanford, who has devoted much time to the preparation of the records, that the establishment of the office was brought about. Mr. Stanford is assisted by George Lyden, deputy assistant collector, who is in charge of all that portion of the borough consisting of the annexed territory and Westchester towns; John J. Moran, chief bookkeeper; James F. Donnelly, cashier; James F.

Keelon, John F. Johnson, William C. Pin chin, assistant cashiers; King Carlisle, apportionment clerk; William J. Murphy, redemption sales clerk; Julius Weber, private secretary and index clerk; Denis Keenan, James A. Delehy and John P.

Reilly, compilation clerks and searchers; Patrick H. Len non, bank messenger. President Halfen, speaking of the illness in the Bronx Valley, says it is owing to the fact that for a considerable part of the year the Bronx River is a dead stream. 'The Beautiful said Mr. Haffen, "is beau tiful no longer.

It is a quiet, dead little stream except after heavy storms. In sum mer there are three or four inches of scum on the water and not a drop of water flows over the dam in three months. If the Bronx Is to be maintained the water should be allowed to come down. Sickness will increase as the population increases. This is a matter of health and nothing can be more important.

The city should include the ten mile water shed, build more reservoirs and allow the Byram River to come down and keep our river clean." PRESIDENT SAENGEP. RETURNS. S. K. Saenger, the president of the United Singers of Brooklyn, returned last night from Philadelphia, where he officiated as hon orary chairman of the banquet given by the Harmony Singing Society in connection with the dedication of its new hall.

Incidentally, Mr. Saenger has done his best toward smoothing over the differences which existed be tween the singers of this borough and those of Philadelphia, ana he now hopes that the threatened breach has been averted, and that the Philadelphians will como to Brooklyn on the occasion of the saongerfest at least 1,200 strong. SALE OF EAST NEW YORK LOTS. William P.

Straight came the unexpected answer: "Weel, man, we julst drive straucht on, and the ane that haa the best dogs gets the maist sheep.

Decker of the Marcy Avenue Church saying as he offered the name that for nine years the Moderator had been a minister and for nine years previously to that a layman, and he thought the time had come around again for a layman.

Dr. Nelson named Dr. Hull to suceed himself and the Rev. Frank P. 1 Stoddard nominated the Rev.

T. J. Whitaker. Mr. Whitaker withdrew.

Henry B. Drake was elected. Alfred Tilly was chosen clerk and George B. Forrester treasurer. Dr.

Hull welcomed Mr. Drake in complimentary terms as his successor, to which Mr. Drake responded by saying that he would do his best to make his administration a success. He called upon the clerk to read the rules, many around him whispering, "The Moderator does that," but Mr. Drake good naturedly turned the laugh on his advisers by reciting the" order for the reading of the rules, in which no mention was made of the Moderator, and then saying, "The clerk Is the one to read ail documents; the clerk will read the ruies." The annual custom 01" reading the letters from the churches was then taken up, the Rev.

W. T. Dixon of the Concord Church of Christ, who has performed the duty for many years, and Hayward Smith of the Sixth Avenue Church being appointed as the readers. Several of the letters spoke of the loss in membership aDd struggles against financial troubles, but most of them were encouraging. The letter from the Hanson Place Churcn said it had been a year oi growth in all departments and that Dr.

Dixon was to remain in the held this winter and do his own pastoral work, it also recorded that a fund of $125,000 was to be raised to build a new church and a builuing committee of fifteen had been appointed. The First Church, Greenpoint (Noble street), reported itself greatly weakened by the loss of membership and ihai it was having a struggle to its financial obligations. When the Greenwood Church letter was announced everyone was most intent, as it was understood that a statement was to be made concerning the trouble of the last which would explain the column in the given hereafter, which shows 207 erasures. The letter is the first nublic statement made by the "up hilt faction." as it has become known. It is interesting and is as follows: The na6t year has been an eventful one with us.

Many articles have appeared In the newspapers concerning our affairs, but these were never inspired by thoee who were In favor of removal. Neither church nor pastor nor trustees with one exception have ever so far as we know roplled to any of the articles published, however imsu 'ituing or unjust tney may nave eeetnea to us to be jne racts are as follows, and it is fit ting that you should know them, in October of 1896 our board of trustees unanimously recommended the church tu consider the matter of removal to a new location, the chief reasons fflven being that the church edifice was not central to the members, nor to the Protestant church going population; that a self sustaining church could not be permanently maintained In tint location, and that a constantly decreasing revenue clearly showed that the Inevitable result of remaining would be to invite financial disaster, and finally to destroy the life of our church. After due consideration at o. meeting in November following the recommendations of the trustees suggesting removal were adopted. Again in May of d89S the question was voted upon without discussion and again the vote was in favor of removal.

In March of this year a portion of one of the walls of the church fell during a Btorm. The Department of Buildings, after inspection, condemned three walls to such an amount of rebuilding that the church society voted to abandon the building as unworthy of repair, only eight votes being in tlie negative. Thus not only by the logic of events but by tho hand of Providence we were compelled to remove By another vote In the same meeting of more than two to one, the trustees were urged to renewed diligence in the sale of the property. One of our two chapels was soon afterward sold to the Norwegian Evangelical Free Church, who took possession in July. Since then we have worshiped in a chapel on Seventh street, near seventh avenue.

The removal precipitated a crisis. In every recommendation made by the trustees they ever held in mind that suitable provision should be for the religious needs of the old field, and hence they always recommended the reservation of the Fifteenth street chapel to he used as a branch of the church. The brethren who were opposed to removal, however, declared they would go with the church and asked the trustees to give them the chapel free and clear. The reply of the trustees was: "We do not believe that a self supporting church can be maintained In that location, but do you. brethren, go and prove that It can.

There is the chapel, take it and use it as a branch of the church. We will furnish light, heat and sexton, and if in the course of a year you prove that a self supporting church can be kept there we will then recommend civing you the building." This offer they peremptorily declined. They paid "We will not work as a branch; us the chapel now and let us at once form artother church." This being refused, the brethren afterward for their letters for tho purpose of forming another church. Theee letters were not granted on the ground that the Greenwood Church Wits by vote pledged to maintain services in the chapel as a branch and that another and a new organization was not needed on that field. These brethren, however, soon afterward met and organized themselves as the Fifteenth Street Baptist Church.

Of our 960 members reported last year 214 have joined in this new movement. We give these brethren full credit for being perfectly conscientious In their action, but we regret exceedingly that they did not see things as did the trustees and the majority of the church. In this entire matter every action of the trustees has been perfectly unanimous, and it is proper to say that they are as good business men as we have In the church and the majority of them have been trustees for more than twenty years past. At the present time the brethren who have withdrawn from us are again negotiating with us for our chapel, where we have been holding a weekly prayer meeting and a Sunday school. It Is possible that amicable arrangements may soon be made.

It is needless to say that this condition of affairs has very greatly Interfered with our work as a church. But we look forward with hope. Wc have purchased a plot of ground on the corner of Seventh avenue and Sixth street, having a frontage on Seventh avenue of 140 feet, and we are now conaklerlng plans for a church edifice. This is the location which, when our Church Extension Society was organized, was strongly urged cy the beloved Dr. Kelsay as the best place in the city for a new church.

Bedford Avenue Church, about which 'it has been reported that It looked as if It would have to disband, said In Its letter that it was looking for a pastor and was full of confidence in a good future. The letter from the Tabernacle Church contained these paragraphs, borught out no doubt by the dearth in ministers in town during the summer: "We respectfully suggest that at this session of the association an Inquiry be made concerning the summer closing of our churches and Sunday schools and the cessation of religious activity during the summer months. We believe that a large proportion of our membership is left without a church home and its privileges during a part of the year and that others who attend tho house of God when open are left to seek secular entertainment, or worse, during the Sabbath hours. "if we assumo the pastoral vacation to be a necessity, what Is the duty of the churches as to tho preaching of the truth and as to the spiritual necessities of the people who remain at home? "Should It bo necessary for our people to search the columns of a secular newspaper to discover where to find a minister of Jesus Christ to bury their dead or point the way of life to the dying? "Do the teachings of the New Testament Nothing Save the Spectator Would Have Sufficed to Insure Him Lasting Reputation. SO SAYS PROF.

WINCHESTER. Two Institute Lectures on Interesting Topics The Great Southwest Described. G. Wharton James, Ph.D., In his third lecture on the great southwestern part ot the United States, under the auspices of the de partment of geography of the Brooklyn Insti tute of Arts and Sciences, which was given last evening in the Art Building on Montague street, took his hearers through the Grand Canon of the Colorado River. The lecture was illustrated with lantern photographs, which.

although the lecturer apologized for them as entirely inadequate to convey any Idea of the realities, caused tho people who looked and listened to catch their breaths with awe at the tremendous rock formations indicated. Dr. James said that nowhere else in the world could such wonderful, massive and lm pressive scenery be found. He met many peo ple who said they had been through the Grand Canon on the railroad. This was because they mistook the Grand Canon of the Arkansas for the Grand Canon of the Colorado.

The Grand Canon of the Colorado would easily make 3,000 of such Grand Canons as the passengers on tne railroad saw. Dr. James said there were many trails to the bottom of the canon, although only one or two were known and used by tourists generally. It was a very diffi cult climb in any event, and some of the more inaccessible trails were seldom seen by white men. Dr.

James spoke of one spot where he pitched his camp and where he said the view was undoubtedly the most wonderful in the world. The outlook from his camp gave a sweep across a great amphitheater such as mortals never dreamed of until this was beheld. 'As I stand in front of my camp," the lec turer said, "I can look across at the rim of the wall on the other side no less than sev enteen miles away. The river below is seven miles away. The slopes on this side would accommodate an orchestra of a hundred million pieces and a chorus of a hundred and fifty million voices.

Then, in the amphitheater on the other side could be seated an audience of over two hundred and fifty mil ion and every man and woman in that great audience and orchestra and chorus could with out straining neck or eye see Theodore Thomas as he stood there with upraised baton ready to conduct the mighty music that would be uplifted. Five hundred million "of people would be seated there all practically In sight of one man in an auditorium arranged by the Almighty himself. I remember that I took a man there once who was a confirmed atheist and after looking for a moment he burst out: 'I believe that this is the place where God will hold the resurrection of the Mea often burst into tears when they see this sight for the first time and women commonly do. There are no words In the language to describe it." Dr. James showed a large collection of pictures of the canon, most of them taken by himself.

He called attention to the geological formation of the canon walls and explained the processes of erosion by which the canon has been worn away in centuries of centuries, and is still being worn away. Dr. James has made an especial study of the grand canon and a book he has written concerning it Is now in press. Many of the peaks and points along the 217 miles of Its length he has named or renamed in accordance with a harmonious system and In the hope that the names will be adopted as more appropriate than many of the names by which these points aro now known. Professor Caleb T.

Winchester of Wesleyan University yesterday afternoon, in the Art Building, on Montague street, continued his course of l3ctures on "The English Authors of the Queen Anne Period," speaking of Joseph Addison. This course of lectures hy Professor Winchester is delivered under the auspices of the department of philology of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, and Is becoming more and more popular. "The life of Addison," said the lecturer, "does not present much of interest to the picturesque biographer. He was, indeed, much in the public eye; he mingled freely with all sorts of people, and played his part in the bitter political struggles of the age; yet he carried, somehow, always an atmosphere of self conscious propriety and decorum about him. He could be a delightful companion, but as a rule only when the company was small and very friendly.

His career was a constant flow of easy prosperity, and hie personal character seems to have been lacking In Dronounced and picturesque features. He was one of those men who have no sharp corners; who pass through life easily, make their wav into good places without effort. 'I believe Addison might be elected king, if he said Swift, with a twinge of envy. He was one of those men who have a quiet complacence which, if it doesn't make ardent friends, makes few enemies, and when it does make an enemy, leaves him no point of attack. "All the world knows Addison's title to fame.

Ask any schoolboy what Joseph Addison did and he will tell you: 'He wrote the Posterity has decided that nothing else he wrote would have sufficed to insure him lasting reputation. It is, indeed, dcubtiul whether those famous papers seem to us of quite so surprising excellence as they did to our great grandfathers. And we must admit that the conception of this form of periodical is due to Steele rather than to Addison, in fact, had it not been for Steele's Tatler, we might never have heard of Joseph Addison. But to Addison we must give the well deserved praise of the formation and development of a new prose style, a style which, after all comment, has never been better described than In Johnson's familiar phrase: 'familiar, but not coarse; elegant, but not which was the racy, flexible, easy, yet graceful and finished style of our best modern prose. Many influences during the latter part of the seventeenth century, especially the prevalence of political writing addressed to the great middle class, had done much to simplify the style of English and reduce Its extended and grandiose manner.

By the time of Addison, a simple, practical prose had become current. It is the praise of Addison that he first perceived that this simple and popular prose was capable of artistic treatment, of high literary finish. That minute care and trained skill which hitherto had been reserved for poetry he bestowed upon his prose. He has no great range of topics, his philosophy is never profound, on serious subjects he is sometimes a little dull, on lighter subjects sometimes a little trivial; but his manner is always graceful, refined, urbane. "Furthermore, Addison was the first to improve to the full that new vein of satire upon the vices and minor immoralities ot society that Steel had opened in the Tatler.

Addison's humor. If sometimes less Immediately effective than Steele's, was finer, and more nicely elaborated. There Is in his papers, a reserve, a delicacy of touch, which come only of excellent taste. He never loses the graceful urbanity of a courteous Spectator. His ethical and religious papers are.

perhaps, rather dull and his once famous critical papers are too academic and formal to be of much interest now; but his satiric pictures of society and manners and his sketches of character like Sir Roger de Coverley. have hardly been surpassed by any similar writing sice his day." Professor Winchester gave a brief account of the famous play. "Cato," which Illustrates so well the change In critical standards since the time of Queen Anne. He sketched also th closing years of Addison's life, concluding with a warm tribute to his virtues as a man and friend. Through a series of unfortunate misunderstandings tho sight singing classes under the auspices of the department of music of tho Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences experienced some difficulties at their initial meetings on Monday and especially was this tho case with the classes under Wilbur F.

Luyster, which are to meet in Gullck and Lockwood's Hall, at the corner of Bedford avenue and Fulton street, and tu Wissner Hall, at Fulton street and Flattiush avenue. On Monday evening Mr. Luyster gave a demonstration in Lockwood's Hall, with the aid of a class of children. It was tho first time tho hall had been opened to the public and a number of people seemed unable to And it. Changes by Addlt' n.

Evening Session. Supper was set in the lecture room of the church. Between the sessions a prayer meeting was held from 7 to 7:30 o'clock, led by the Rev. Dr. B.

K. Cressey. The regular ses sion of the evening began with prayer by the Rev. J. R.

Henderson. The Rev. Cornelius Woelfkin reported for the committee on the applications of new churches that it recommended the admission of four new churches, Holy Trinity, on Boerum place, near Fulton street, in the old Bedford Reformed Church; Borough Park. Sheepshead Bay and First Swedish, Ralph avenue and Bergen street. G.

I. Tatten, George A. Allin. w. B.

Fox, H. C. Litchfield and Colon M. Thompson were reported as nominated for managers of the Baptist Home by the chairman, the Rev. Er win Dennet.

The committee on the orphanage, George B. Forrester, chairman, reported that a bequest by the late Deacon Joseph Wild had been contested by the heirs at law, and the report of the referee had been sustained. It was again appealed, and the committee recommended that a committee on orphanage he appointed each year. A report which created a stir last year brought out a good deal of discussion again last night and some very earnest words' were said. The Rev.

T. J. Whitaker, chairman of the Missionary Committee, made his report. He said that the Rev. C.

J. Keevil at Wood side, where the work was going on well; the Rev. Edwin Loucks at Wyckoff Heights, where the location of the church made its outlook hopeless; the Rev. John Donaldson at Union Course, which church was hopeful; the Rev. Edwin Richmond at Jamaica, where a debt burdened them; the Rev.

H. E. Ryder at Valley Stream, where wonders had been done, considering the opportunity; the Rev. John Mitchell at Huntington, Cold Spring and Sag Harbor; the Rev. L.

W. Jackson at Patchogue, another somewhat hopeless field; the Rev. J. W. Flower at.

Port Washington, where It was impossible to make an appropriation, had all been reappointed last year. "In these fields," Mr. Whitaker said, "it needed courage to work," and then continued: "We look into' the treasury and find It empty and burdened with debt. The disciples have fed themselves first but few crumbs are left to the waiting thousands. More is spent in each of many churches In our association, more than Is put into our mission work for city and island.

There are 18,000 Baptists on our island and it takes six of us under strong pressure to raise $1 for the Island work. Your committee asked for about 20 cents per member, and proposed with that sum to give the gospel to the island. "But we did not get it. Is it surprising that retrenchment is thought necessary? That some churches should be denied help? That new fields should be occupied? The 10 per cent, reduction policy adopted one year ago we tear was misunderstood by some to apply to the churches giving rather than to the churches receiving. We know this, that the committee was compelled to cut down most and cut off some beneficiaries and not a new field has it dared to attempt save Richmond Hill and that because of promise made it more than a ago.

We fear that in some instances the 10 per cent, reduction proved a loss to the missionary rather than the equalization of burden between tho church and the association. These missionary pastors are living, some of them, on starvation salaries and no church should allow the reduction to be borne by their pastors, and neither will they if worthy of his labor. "Shall we enter another year in this poverty stricken condition? Applications are before your committee from all the mlBsion churches for the reappointment of these men of God. Shall they be sent back to their fields cheered and helped by our prayers and our means? Other churches, hitherto aided and now needy, are petitioning for help. Shall we rise to the imperative demand of this hour?" Mr.

Whitaker closed with an appeal to tho members of the churches of tho denomination to contribute to this work, which he declared was God's work. The Rev. F. P. Stoddard and the Row Dr.

W. C. P. Rhoades seconded the appeal with strong addresses, claiming that it was incumbent upon tho association to see that the mission work was not. allowed to suffer.

George B. Forrester supplemented the addresses, declaring that only thirty seven churches had contributed to the mission work out of sixty five, and that although the salaries of the missionaries had been paid promptly It would not have been so had not notes been discounted and a legacy received. The Rev. W. M.

Tinker, the Rev. Edwin Richmond, Robert Leadbetter, James R. Perine, the Rev. H. E.

Ryder and the Rev. Dr. S. Giffard Nelson spoke also on the report, the latter moving that the pastors request the churches to take up the collection for the Long Island Association work on or before the second Sunday of November. The Rev.

Mr. Whitaker hoped the messengers would report this resolution to the churches next Friday. The Rev. Charles .1. Keevil of Woodslde thought that the discussion of the question was comforting In one sense, but it was humiliating to have this poverty stricken tone pervade the discussion of Christ's work.

"There was not much heard about the missionary pastors." he said, "except once a year and that was at the meeting of the association, when there was a good dual of poverty talk from rich Baptists." The Rev. John Donaldson of Union Course said it was humiliating to come before the association as beggars. "I am not a beggar. The Lord has blessed us at Union Course and from a little band we have grown to eighty..
