The new organ of Trinity cathedral Is one
tin moat powerful ana complete instruments
of the kind over troug-ht to the vest. The
ohjcct in the purchase of this great organ waste
to secure an Instrument that would bo a per
fect adjunct to church -worship. In this re
spect the new organ , is perhaps superior to
Bay In the city.
The orjjan occupies the chamber for mer-
ly filled by the old instrument. The two
nrches of the main south wall of the church
have been removed to permit the teae tofioat
unobstructed Into the auditorium. The case
of the instrument , extends across thespaco as
though it hnd been originally built for the
place. The lower part of the instrument is
encaseJIn oak of a dark color , producing an
old English , effect and la harmony with the
wood work ot the chancel. The orgaa ia
about 16CJO feet.
Wbilo this instrument has not so
many stops as many organs of its
dimensions , yet it is supplied with
all that Is desirable la church music. There
arc sixteen stops and four of them are really
double , so that the Instrument really has the
equivalent of twenty stop ) . Ithas a care

The American board of commissioners ol

' This -was the first foreign mission

this i Shall the society rontinvt t
receive and disburse the missionary rvnda o
the church without tha churcn having anj
lalngto ay id to how end when the fund
shall be disbursed ? There Is an crffort being-
made to lave this close corporation open Its
doors and become more of a delegate body
In which the church stall have a direct rep
resentation. This demand Is becoming very
strong : throuphout the west and I think It is
possible that too desired change may l > e aide
soon. "
Speaking of the saino matter Dr , I > nryea
of the First Congregational church , said :
"This body ol missionary workershasbeen
a central agency throuphwhlch several otthe
denominations ha\e done worlc ia foreign
fields. Somebody had to handle tha funds ,
put up buildings , control the property and di
rect the work , and this corporation , which
has necessarily been a close ccrpontion , has
tilled thatofllce. But thequestlon now awes ,
shall this corporation manage the missionary
work of the church without siring- the church
a voice in tas matter or shall these clo xl
doors be opened and the church be permitted
to mike this missionary body a representa
tive branch in the Christian uorkiii which ,
delegates direct from the church may
take part. A. committee has been
ap pointed an dwill report at the nieotinR soon
to w bold at Jlinncapolia upon some plan o _
adjustmcnU"
"Do you tblak the corporation , should be
opened up to a delegate representative from ,
tbcchurchl"
The demand for a representative body is
becoming universal. Last week the Confre-
patlonalist cams out in favor of open doors
anddirect communication between thomls-
sionarj- society and the church. ITliis is the
trumpet which all recognize as tto voice of
tbochunh , and I think the idea will prevail.
It briRht that the church should Snow more
about the disbursement of Its missionary
funds and the general management of the
missionary work. "

There la not afoot of space on any of the
five great floors that is not piled high wltti

Each floor is a mammoth department capa
