Raises $60,000 by a Sermon.

At the annual missionary meeting in Gospel tabernacle. New York, Sunday, Dr. A. B. Simpson, the missionary fund solicitor, gave a sermon that resulted in the collection of $60,000. This is an increase of $20,000 over the collection on a similar occasion last year. The meeting was the last of the eleven conventions that have been held throughout the United States. The whole amount thus contributed for missionary purposes is nearly $175,000.
