Davies was in Boston, Mass, last week attending a meeting of the directors of Congregational Educa- tion and Publication societies, during the sessions of which the Rev. Frank N. Greeley, of Miami, Fla., offered a dona- tion of $10,000 towards a $200,000 en- dowment fund for The Congregation- alist.
