The Convocation of South Philadelphia continues to be most emphatically the greatest Missionary field in the city. The foreign population from almost every quarter of the earth is gathering in increasing numbers, so that we estimate that since our report of last year almost fifty thousand additional foreigners have crowded into, not only Southeast Philadelphia, but also the southwestern and central portions of the city. The problem of reaching with the Gospel this great multitude is still an unsolved one. We are thoroughly satisfied that we must have workers who can talk Italian, Yiddish, Hebrew, French, Lithuanian, Polish, Greek and Syrian, and we were almost going to add Chinese and Japanese. The ray of hope seems to come from Sunday-school work amongst the children of these adult foreigners. We find a few of these young people scattered here and there in the schools of our churches of all denominations. Notwithstanding several removals of a number of churches of different denominations from Southern Philadelphia, those that remain have prospered diligently and faithfully in all manner of Church work.

At the Church of St. John the Evangelist, Third and Reed Streets, the new Rector, the Rev. Edward H. Earle, has already brought hope and courage to his people. They lack only five hundred dollars to pay some back bills and indebtedness that were left by his predecessor. The Rector has commenced to live and work amongst his people, which will be a great help to his success.

At the Church of the Crucifixion, Eighth and Bainbridge Streets, the Rev. Henry L. Phillips, D.D., is carrying on his work with energy and courage. We have stopped in several times at the services and have always found the congregations good and the singing far above the average, and the attendance as compared with other churches most satisfactory. On our last visit there were two hundred at the morning service, which included thirty men. All the services were well rendered by both the clergy and the people, that is, the responses were clear, distinct and hearty. Altogether, the only weak point is that they are surrounded by a foreign population, which compels the people to live at a distance and to be at the expense of carfare coming and going to worship.

The French Church, at Twenty-second and DeLancey Streets, is still faithfully served by the Rev. Florian Vurpillot. The Sunday-school has gone beyond last year with its Lenten Offering, and this of course is one of the best signs of life and improvement.

At the Church of L'Emmanuello, the new clergyman, the Rev. Thomas E. Della Cioppa, has just taken charge, but the Sunday-school, under the leadership of Mr. Frank W. Melvin, has certainly been revived and is growing. A number of teachers have rallied around the superintendent, and the fact that the Lenten Offering is almost double that of last year shows better than anything else the true situation.

At the Seamen's Mission, the Rev. George S. Gassner, with his energetic assistant, Mr. Charles Bourquin, have for another year looked after the sailors who come to this port. In season and out of season they place themselves at the service of all the seamen who visit the chapel or the reading room.
