In Memorlnm.
September 20, 1888?February 8, 1912.
Whereas, It has pleased our Heavenly
Father, the Great Head of he Church,
In his Infinite wisdom, to remove from
our midst our beloved brother and
ruling elder, Dr. John D. Moore, to
his heavenly reward, therefore be It
resolved by the session of the Griffin
Presbyterian church:
First, That our church has sustained
the loss of a member and officer who
has been zealous and faithful In the
service and support of the church. His
religion was his life, not simply a profession;
hence his great love and devotion
to his church and her ordinances.
As a physician, no man was ever
ore universally beloved throughout
the large circle of friends. For more
han forty years he went In and out
of the homes of the people as their
physician and friend. Hence they loved
him for his noble Christian manhood
the fft'thful and efficient service he
had rendered them.
Second, That we mourn the departure
THE PRESBYTGRIj
of our brother, who waB held In such
great afTectlon and esteem by the session
and the members of the church
of which he had been a member for
more than fifty years and which he
had served as elder for forty-one years.
Third, That we deeply sympathize
vith his family In their sore bereavement,
and Implore God's richest blessing
on them.
Fourth, That we spread these resolut'ons
in our Minutes, publish them
in the Christian Observer and Presbyterian
of the South, and send a copy
to the family of the deceased.

FAMINE RELIEF FUNDS FOR CHINA.
The distressing conditions prevailing
in China on account of the destruction
of crops last year by floods in the
Yangtse Valley are known to all. While
for reasons peculiar to our Church we
have not felt that the way was clear
for us to issue a special appeal for
famine relief contributions, we have not
been indifferent to the need for such
contributions and have been glad to
forward such as have been sent to us
in response to the appeal of the Red
Cross Society, which has been published
both in the secular and religious papers
of the country.
In China the famine relief committee
of the Protestant Missions has been in
close touch and In full co-operation with
the Red Cross Society in the noble
work done by that Society in the cause
of famine relief. We deem it proper,
however, to give our people the two
reasons given to us by some of our missionaries
in China why those of our
people making contributions to this
cause would do better to send them
through our treasury to the treasury
of the North Kiangsu Mission, rather
than to send them to the treasury of
the Red Cross Soc'ety.
The first reason is that famine relief
funds administered by the committee of
the Missions are issued in the name of
the Christian Church. Tickets for relief
issued to the suffering people are
printed with the name of Jesus at the
top, and thus bear testimony to the
fact that the help Is given in his name.
The other reason is that any funds
left in the hands of the committee of
the Missions when the famine is over,
as it will be over by natural causes
by the first of June, can be used with
the consent of the donors, as a large
amount of such funds is now being used
In our North Klangsu 'Mission, to help
orphanages and other forms of missionary
work.
Other reasons might he mentioned,
but these two we deem sufficient to
convince our people that It will be better
both for the cause of Christ and
for the cause of humanity for them
to send all their famine relief contributions
through our hands In the way Indicated
above.
In order to be sure not to be misunderstood,
we would repeat the statement
that the committee of the Missions
and the committee of the Red Cross Society
In China work together In fullest
harmony, and with a full understand
lng on the part of the Missions that
what the Churches as such are doing
for famine relief needs to be supplemented
by what philanthropists and humanitarians
of every name and belief
are doing through the agency of the
Red Cross Society.
Executive Committee Foreign Missions.
S. H. Chester, Secretary.
FOREIGN MTSSTON OOMTTTTTEE
NOTES.
The Executive Committee of Foreign
M'sslons met on February 13th at the _
/
\N OP THE SOUTH
Committee Rooms on Fifth Avenue.
The following missionaries were appointed
to be sent out during the present
year:
For Africa?Rev. Plumer Smith, of
Richmond, Va., Rev. J. C. McQueen of
New Orleans, La., Mr. Thos. J. Arnold
of Elkins, W. Va., and Mr. W. L. Hillhouse
of Calhoun, Ga.
For Korea?Rev. A. C. McKinnon and
wife of Batesville, Ark., Miss Ada McMurphy
of Memphis, Tenn., and Miss
Elise J. Shepping of New York City.
The papers of a number of other applicants
not ready to go this year were
approved, and they were encouraged
to go forward with their preparation,
with the expectation of full annolni
ment on presentation of satisfactory
medical certificate and presbyterial or
sessional endorsement at a later day.
There were also a number of other applications
for appointment to Africa
whose papers were not complete, but
whose appointment the Committee hopes
to be able to make at its next meeting.
It is understood that for each new
outgoing missionary the Committee
must receive before his sailing a permanent
annual pledge of $1,000 for support,
and in addition cash contributions
sufficient to cover the full amount of
outfit and travel to the field, and that
all these contributions mus!- ho nvor
and above what the donors will give,
but for the sending out of the new
missionaries.
Two of those appointed for Africa go
out as entirely self-supporting mlss'onaries,
giving their lives to the work at
no expense to the Committee.
The occasion of the outgoing of all
these new missionaries and some others
whose sailing has already been reported,
is the work of Rev. J. F. Preston
and of Rev. Chas. H. Pratt in securing
funds to cover the expense of all outgoing
missionaries to* J?orea, and the
spontaneous outburst of enthusiasm at
the recent laymen's Convention in Chattanooga
manifesting itself in pledges
of nearly $40,000 of special funds for
the work In Africa. In this connection
a special resolution of thanks to the
laymen's Movement was adopted, prepared
by the chairman of the Committee,
which will appear in a separate
communication.
Rev. Motte Martin, of Africa, and Rev.
B. C. Patterson, of China, were present
and addressed the Committee with reference
to the work In their fields. In
connection with the address of Mr. Pat
terson, the secretary was instructed to
send to the papers a request that contributions
made for the work of famine
relief in China should be sent through
our treasury, with the reasons for that
request.
Permission was granted to Rev. Motte
Martin to return to Africa as soon as he
could make the necessary arrangements,
leaving Mrs. Martin at home for further
recuperation, with the expectation
that she would return to Africa In June.
In view of Mr. Martin's return the offer
of Mr. C. A. Rowland and Rev. C. H.
Pratt to complete the work of securing
full support for the new African reinforcements
was accepted, and they were
Instructed that, after having made ar
raiiftemeiiiB iur iweniy new missionaries
to Africa, the Committee would heartily
approve of their undertaking a similar
work for our China missions.
In response to the request of the
Mexico Mission for a visit from Rev.
Egbert W. Smith, the Committee expressed
Its approval of Dr. Smith's
making such a visit whenever he might
And it practicable to do so.
The Committee was honored with a
visit from Miss Isabel Arnold, of Elklns.
W. Va., and Mrs. E. L. Russell, of Mobile,
Ala., both of whom have been
working under appointment of the Committee
as Missionary Visitors In connection
with our Women's Work.
