Church, South, is confined to China, Japan and Corea. The difficulties have been great and growth slow bit steady.; The great agencies of the church in its work are the preaching of the word, teaching and medicine. He polo ted out the difficulties iu Japan, In their seeking results at the expense of the spirit of Christianity. . At one time it seemed that Japan would bechristianized in a short time. -.' ' The next ou the program was "Our Work In Mexico and Brazil," by Rev. 8. T. Moyle. He being absent, the subject was passed over. .:' ,11 , ' "Missionary Societies," by Mr. Daniel Lane, was taken up. Mr. Lane said that the first ' thing necessary Is to get the society, and then if ,we have the mission. ary spirit, the work Is not so difficult. This is the very gist of the business pf the societies the spirit of - Christ having that, there will be no difficulty in raising funds,' and in the growth of the societies. Mr. Lane made a very interesting talk. and in the work of his society he showed what can be accomplished by zealous and organized work.' The missionary society has very much developed the church and increased the other collections, and in the last lOyeara all the collections have, been doubled. " ' Rev.

The speaker 'showed how, the preacher had been the leader in every great reformation of the world, how he bad Hacriflced aud suffered. It was a great tribute to the preachers. But sue cess is not always to the one who raises most money. This is sometimes done at the expense of the spirit of missions. He outlined various plans to raise collec tions. Different methods must- be u-ed with different peopln. The " preacher inut know his peoplH, Dr. Dred Peacock addressed the confer ence iu behalf of Greensboro Female Col lege. He stated that the graduates hud always been foremost in christian work, many having beeen engaged iu foreign missionary work. This was not an ac cident but the result of the religious in fluence thrown around them, while at col lege. While he placed a higher estimate upon the moral training of his pupile he did not underestimate scholarship. Both must ko hand iu band. His speech made a fine impression.
