At a special general meeting of the Church Missionary Society, the honorary clerical s 'cretary read a letter signed, " An unprofitable Servant (Luke xvii. 10),” offering to give £SOOO towards the establishment of a mission in the dominions of King Utssa, who, through Mr H. M. Stanley, has invited Christian missionaries to visit his country. A resolution was passed thankfully accepting the offer of the anonymous donor, and undertaking, “in dependence upon God, to take steps for the establishment of a mission to the vicinity of the Victoria Nyanza, in the prayerful hope that it may prove a centre of light and blessing to the tribes in the heart of Africa.” A sub-committee was appointed to consider and report on the best mode of cvrrying this resolution into effect, and it was resolved to open a special fund for meeting the expenditure connected with the pro* posed mission.
