Mexican Work:
It is estimated that during the past
twenty years one-tenth of the entire
Mexican nation has come to the United
States. Of this number fully one
half are within the bounds of our
General Assembly. Not more than
10,000 of the Mexicans in this coun
try have been reached by the various
Protestant churches. There are with
in the Synod of Texas about 2,000
communicants. There is the Texas
Mexican Presbytery, and the advance
field which is soon to be organized
into a second Presbytery. The day is
not far distant when we hope to have
a Texas-Mexican Synod, the pride and
joy of the Assembly.
To meet the great need for a na
tivo ministry for the Mexican
churches, there has been opened a
Spanish Department in connection
with the Austin Theological Seminary.
This department is being temporarily
supported by the Executive Commit
tee of Home Missions in an effort to
supply the workers so greatly needed.
Our committee is to be commended
for this far-sighted policy. With this
should also come the appeal for an
adequate endowment that the Semi
nary may be enabled fully to discharge
its added missionary obligation.
Indian Work:

Jewish Missions:
Your Home Mission Committee co
operating with the Presbyterian
Church, U. S. A., is supporting Em
manuel Neighborhood House, a mis
sion to the Jews, in the city of Balti
more. This work has been in charge
of Rev. Paul Berman. The program
consists of work among the children
by means of Sunday school and daily
vacationBible school; preaching in the
open air and in the mission house to
large groups of men and women, and
generous distribution of tracts and
Bibles. The outlook is encouraging,
and the promise is for an enlarge
ment of the enterprise as added funds
are received.
Summary :
To summarize the scope of this vast
scheme, we would remind you that
your Executive Committee of Home
Missions is supporting 905 mission
aries, including 271 unsalaried wives
in its field of operations; that this
great company of workers is serving
people of nine nationalities, namely,
Mexicans, Cubans, French, Italians,
Bohemians, Hungarians, Chinese, Jews
and ? Indians; ? that by these agencies
the Church has received 9,638 acces
sions on profession of faith and 2,908
by certificate; that it has received
$543,431.86 for the promotion of this
work, the largest sum ever received
in a single year; that it proposes to
aid weak churches, erect buildings,
extend its program of evangelism, ac
cording to a well defined program, al
ready outlined. We would, however,
remind you that the contributions fell
more than $200,000 short of a rea
sonable expectancy from the budget
determined upon at the beginning of
the year. If the Church at large re
sponds with greater fidelity to this
cause the work will grow accordingly.
Overtures:
Two overtures were placed in the
hands of your committee in regard to
which the following action is recom
mended:
1. From the Presbytery of Lexing
ton petitioning the General Assembly
to consider the question of providing
an annual budget for the work of
Jewish Evangelism, out of the Gen
eral Assembly's Home Mission funds,
so that this work may be conducted
more efficiently. The Presbytery fur
ther overtures the Assembly to con
sider the question of engaging inde
pendently in the work of Jewish evan
gelization.
To this we would reply that the
work already begun will be enlarged
by the Executive Committee as means
are provided.- To this end all our
people are urged to support our own
work among the Jews, rather than
independent irresponsible missions.
2. Prom the Presbytery of Louis
iana, asking the Assembly to inaugu
rate a special Home Mission equip
ment campaign at the earliest possi
ble date.
Your committee Is in sympathetic
accord with this overture, and refers
the same to the Stewardship Commit
tee for action.
In conclusion, Mr. Moderator and
brethren, your committee would ex
press the renewed enthusiasm that
its members feel as the result of hav
ing engaged in this review of the
abundant labors of the Executive
Committee of Home Missions. It
hereby expresses the hope that by the
contagion of such enthusiasm, our
whole Church may go forward in the
advancement of its great enterprise.
KccomnitfiHlut ions :
We recommend:
1. That the Assembly repeat its
call upon the Church to incorporate
Assembly's Home Missions in the
prayer life and sympathetic affections
of God's people, and commend its in
creasing responsibilities to their larg
est generosity.
2. That the Assembly remind the
churches of their obligation to accord
the Assembly's Home Missions its
share of the benevolences by follow
ing the official schedule of percen
tages, which expresses the judgment
of the Assembly as to the relative im
portance and needs of the benevolent
causes. We recommend herewith that
$7 60,000. which is the sum appor
tioned by the Committee on Steward
ship for Assembly's Home Missions,
be included in the annual budget.
3. That it endorse and commend
