Domestic and Foreign Missionary Soci- 

 ety. The society which has this as its legal 

 title comprehends all persons who are members 

 of the Protestant Kpiscopal Church. The Hoard 

 of Missions consists of all the liishops of the 

 American Church, the members for the time 

 being of the House of Deputies of the General 

 Convention, the delegates from the Missionary 

 Jurisdictions, and the Heard of Managers. The 

 Missionary Council comprises all the bishops, an 

 equal number of presbyters, and an equal number 

 of laymen. Itf meets annually (except in the 

 years when the Board of Missions meets), and is 

 charged with taking all necessary action in re- 

 gard to the missionary work of the Church 

 which shall not conflict with the general policy 

 of the board. The Council met in Detroit, 

 Mich., Oct. 20, and continued in session for 

 three days. It was well attended by bishops, 

 clergy, and laity, and disposed of matters in 

 band with promptitude and hearty zeal. The 

 annual report of the Hoard of Managers, with 

 accompanying documents, was received, and 

 note was made of the fact that the board, its 

 general secretary, the various commissions, and 

 the Woman's Auxiliary had done their work 

 well, and deserved the confidence and support 

 of the Church. The Board of Missions divides 

 its work between a domestic committee and a 

 foreign committee, which have headquarters in 

 New York city.
