PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY

At Monday’s session of the General Assembly at Halifax, the aspointment of Rev. E. A. McCurdy to the agency of the eastern section of the church was confirm- ed. A request from the Synod of the Maritime Provinces asking that an annuity of $250 be paid during life to Mrs. Morri- son, widow of the late agent, was gravied. A tively discussion occurred over home mission work. Overturee from the synod of British Columbia, the Presbytery of Algoma anda memoria! from the home mission Committee, western seciion, asked that itshould be a law that students in theology, either during the course or afier graduation, shouid be required to epend one year in home miesion work be- fore being eligible to a call from 8 con« gregation, There is great scarcity of home missionaries in New Qataric, the North- west and British Columbia. It was etated that the men who a-e physically able to do pioneer work in those fields are few. Dr. Rob- ertaon made the somewhat startling state- ment that ip the western field there were 156,000 English-speaking people without any religious servicee. Principal Grant opposed the adoption of the proposal con~- tained in the two overtures. It would be practically adding a year to the student’s college course. He contended this to be unfair and unwise. There was urgent need of home missionaries, but the effect of this plan would be to direct the at- tention of young men from the Christian ministry to professions that offer richer prizes. The overtures were referred to a committees, Ottawa was chosen as the meeting place of the General Assembly next year. The report of the committee on changes in the con- situation of Queen’s University was pre sented. The principal change sought is the piacing of the theological faculty under @ separate board, 80 that as regards the arts course the university may tecome unudenominatioval. The committee is to report to next aseembly. An animated debate vook place on a peti- tion presented by the Presbyiery of Hali- fax avking authority from the Assembly to give diec.etionary power to the misei a-

{ary s udeote in Latrador to coostitute as a

The reyuest wes unusual, but the cir- cumst’%ces aleo were unousual,as there was 00 ordained missionary available for the purpose. The speakers in favor of the petition held that the laws of the church should be interpreted in a sufficent- ly flexible way to meet such unusual con- diuioous. The ma:ter was referred to a committee,

Lonpon, June 20.—The Russian reliev- ing force arriyed outside of Pekin tiis morning, says the Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Express, and immediately began to attack the city on two sides, em~ ploying numerous artillery.

On the night of June 16 Chinese troops attacked the legations and eet on fire five European buildings. Nothing defnite ie kvown as tothe result, easept that the Chinese were disappointed, slthough other reporte, utterly diecsedited bv foreigners here, are to the effect that the Chinese, in- furiated by the destruction of Taku, have since massacred all the Pekio.

A modified version of these rumors re- ceived at Berlin is that the French as wel! as German minister bas been killed.

Lonpon, June 20.—The Chinese situa- tion is apparently unchanged. A)}l sorts ef rumors sre current in Shanghai, but no really fresh news is forthcem ing.
