edre. It dealt with matters that hffect
Chicago and I,ondon as wrll as those

deliberative and not a legislative con
gress More than a t' ous-nd delegates
were present. Thrre were 40,000 ?nd
more members of the congress alto
gether. It sat in seven sections every
day for almost a fortnight? ending each
day with a series of great public meet
ings. It began with a penitential ser?
vice in Wost Minster Abbey and con
cluded with a magnificent service at St
Paul's Cathedral. The offering at the
final service was something more than
a million and a half of dollars? all of
which is to be spent whe-e it will do
the most good in missionary nnd non
Christian lards."
