MISSIONARY NOTES.

The Southern Presbyterian Church sent out fourteen missionaries during the year. The American Board has appointed fifty-two missionaries since the first of last November. Among the Scandinavian countries, Norway is the most generous in the support of missions. The annual meeting of the American Missionary Association will'be held In Northampton, Mass., October 21-23. At the jubilee of the Baptist mission in Denmark, held in Copenhagen, it was reported that 600 in all have been baptized, and there are now 2,700 members in the churches. All the Protestant missions in Europe lose many of their best members by emigration to America.

Commissioner Coombs, leader of the Salvation Army in Australia, recently sent word to General Booth that if he (the general) would name the new country in which he desired to commence army work Australia would furnish all the men, women and money necessary for the undertaking.
