The Fifty-sixth Annual Meeting of the American Baptist Home Mission Society will be held in the Calvary Church, Washington, D. C., Wednesday, May 16, 1888, beginning at 7.30 P. M. of that day, and concluding with the Thursday night session. This will give but four instead of six sessions as hitherto. Condensation in reports and addresses will be necessary. In accordance with the request of the Education Committee appointed last May, the Executive Board relinquish Wednesday forenoon and afternoon to the Educational Convention, which has been called for that date. In the article last month, entitled "What Are the Facts in the Case?" an erroneous impression possibly might have been obtained in regard to the work in the Church Edifice Department. It was stated that there was expended in gifts for Church Edifice Work, mainly in the West, $10,818.05. While this is true, there was an additional expenditure in response to special efforts, of $18,229.77, for property in the City of Mexico. The showing for the present year will doubtless be much larger than for the previous year. The Education Committee appointed by President Colgate, under instructions of the Society, at the Minneapolis Meeting, met at the rooms of the Society in New York city, February 24, 1888. Six members of the seven composing the Committee, as originally constituted, were present, viz. : Dr. J. B. Thomas, Mass.; Dr. J. A. Smith, Ill.; Dr. Franklin Johnson, Mass.; Prof. W. R. Harper, Conn.; Joshua Levering, Esq., Md.; J. B. Thresher, Esq., Ohio. The seventh member, Dr. T. T. Eaton, Ky., was detained by religious interest in his church, but wrote, saying, "This movement impresses me as of the utmost importance. The wonder is, and the pity is, that it was not inaugurated before." After full consideration of the subject entrusted to the Committee, and in accordance with the power conferred by the resolutions of the Society, it was unanimously decided to call a convention to consider and take action concerning the organization of a general Education Society, to be known as "The American Baptist Education Society," the meeting to be held in Washington, D. C., Wednesday, May 16, 1888. A committee of arrangements for the meeting, and a committee on the constitution of the proposed Soci ety were appointed. The constituencies of the general benevolent organizations, north and south, so far as they may be present at Washington, are to compose the meeting. For the consideration of a subject of such profound and vital interest as this, there should be a large representation from all portions of the country. The big "blizzard" of March 12th will be a memorable event in the annals of New York city, Brooklyn, and vicinity. Locomotion and business of all kinds were nearly or quite suspended. The blizzard" put its icy veto in tempest tones on the regular Board meeting of that day. The blockade. continued so long, and communications were so interrupted, that the earliest practicable date for the special meeting, in lieu of the regular meeting, was Saturday, March 17th. In consequence of the derangement to business, and of the postponement, this issue of the MONTHLY is somewhat later than usual. For the purpose of comparison we may say at the outset, that Baptists have three general benevolent organizations which make their annual appeals to the churches. These are the Mislication Society, with two Secretaries; the Home sionary Union, with two Secretaries; the Pub Mission Society, with one Secretary. The Presbyterian church has nine incorporated organizations whose claims are annually. presented to the churches. In these nine organizations there are eleven Secretaries. The names of these organizations and the receipts reported by each the past year are as follows: 1. Board of Trustees of the General Assembly, $62,330. 2. Board of Home Missions: New York City. Two Corresponding Secretaries; receipts, $784,157 (of which $248,649 was from Woman's Boards). 3. Board of Foreign Missions: New York City. Three corresponding Secretaries; receipts, $653,456. 4. Board of Church Erection: New York City. One Corresponding Secretary; receipts, $90.314. 5. Board of (ministerial) Education: Philadelphia. One Corresponding Secretary; receipts, $117,900. 6. Board of Publication and Sabbath School Work: Philadelphia. One Secretary; receipts, $49,751. |
