The name of the magazine has also engaged our attention. Several new titles were suggested, but nothing appropriate and attractive could be found, and after careful thought we resolved to keep our present term.

It becomes, alas! the painful duty of your Committee to report what is for us and with us our whole Church, an irreparable loss in the death of our beloved friend and most efficient associate, Howard Crosby. Among his many devoted labors in behalf of our Presbyterian Church, few causes stirred his interest more deeply, few won from him more thought, few showed the touch of his master hand more markedly than did this Church at Home and Abroad; it gained from him its very name. Ever faithful in attendance, eagerly watchful of all affecting for weal or woe our work, freely giving his time and labor to the advancement of the magazine, he will be remembered by us all with a tender affection, he will be missed through all the future history of this magazine -the honored friend, the wise counselor, the devoted servant of the Lord.

Your Committee would respectfully suggest the name of the Rev. George Alexander, D.D., of New York, to fill the vacancy thus created. In order that we may carry forward this work, that we may develop our plans, that we may add fresh interest to the magazine, and secure for it a larger circulation, your Committee recommend that the Special Committee on The Church at Home and Abroad be continued, with the same powers which have been already conferred, and be directed to report to the Assembly of 1892; and that the expenses of the Committee be paid out of the funds.

All of which is respectfully submitted by the Committee.

JOHN S. MACINTOSH, Chairman.
