A Call to the Treasurers of the Presbyterial
Unions in the Synod of Virginia:
In as much as only a little over two
months will pas before the meeting of
our Women's Missionary Union of the
Virginia Synod I earnestly request all
secretaries and treasurers of our Presbyterial
Unions to remit to me at earliest
dates all funds appropriated at their
meetings this past year fqr the contingent
fund of the Sy^odical Union. Up
to this time the rteceipts have been very
few and unless the assessments of the
Presbyterial Unions for the support of
the Synodica 1 Union do now come in
promptly and generously we will be sadly
hampered in making our arrangements
for a sucessful and interesting
meeting at Staunton, Va., in November.
Prompt replies, with name and address
of each Treasurer and Secretary will be
appreciated.?Mrs. A. M. Howison, Tr.
Synodical Union of Va. The Oaks,

SENDING OUT NEW MISSIONARIES.
There are now under appointment or
about ready to be appointed thirty-one
missionaries, who will be ready to start
to the field whenever the way is clear.
At the meeting of the Executive Committee
on August 10th the question was
discussed as to their being sent this fall.
The Committee is, of course, very anxious
to send all who are ready to go, in
anuiuLu an me cans irom tne missions
are pathetically urgent. It was deemed
necessary, however, at our August meeting
to pass the following resolution
bearing upon this matter:
"Resolved, that no new missionaries
can be sent to the field this fall with the
exception of those for whom arrangements
have already been made, except In
cases where the fuN amount required
mi uuuii ^iiu unvoiiDg expense nas been
provided by special contributions."
The amount required in each case for
missionaries going to the Orient is (160
for outfit and about 9260 for traveling
expenses. The outfit allowance is the
same for those going to the fields nearer
