MU t h e l and . " Then David drew a long sigh of relief, and sank' Psalm Uv.: "Save me, O God. by thy name, and judge me by thy s t rength ."

From Macon, when the heat of the • pursuit was over, David removed his quarters Eastward to the s t ronghold, of the wild goat on the shores of the Dead Sea. On the Western shore, mid-way between North and South, there is a little piece of level ground covered with the rich -luxuriance of tropical vegetation. It is jealously fenced in by giant cliffs, jutting out into the dark waters of the lake, but its beauty is maintained by a tepid stream which,

- issuing from the limestone rock, four hundred feet al>ove the glen, "rushes down the deep descent, fretted by many a rugged crag, and raining its spray-over verdant borders of acacias, mi-mosa and lo tus . " It is said that gray weather-beaten stones mat k the site of an ancient city, and traces of palms have been discovered encrusted in the limestone. But the tangle of a t ropi-cal jungle now reigns supreme. This was David's next resort—En-gedi, the haunt of the wild goat—where deep cav-erns in the steep cliffs, and the abun-dance of water supply, furnished two of the 'most important items in his sparse and frugal program. Here, again; the Psalmist sets his experien-ce., to music in two priceless songs. Psalm liv.. " B e merciful unto me, O Cod, for my soul taketh refuge in Thee." and Psalm cxlii.,- " I cried-with my voice; with my voice unto the Lord did 1 make my supplicat ion."

so hard to bear, that stings so sharply, j strikes its poisonous fangs so deeply, as the) last. This is what David suf- } {e«<pT*om most of al l . To his highly sensitive spirit it was the acutest form of torture, that though he was ahso- : lutely Innocent, though he was will ins to give himself to prayer and ministry on their behalf, yet his calumniators |

; pursued him with such unrelenting j malice—"Their teeth are spears and j arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword." 4 •« Save me by thy name.

Good habits are the test of servants. Rich is he, however empty his pockets, who lias a retinue of good habits. Habits of industry, economy, honesty, kindness, pure thought, pure love and life a r e worth more than diamonds and jiearls. Happy is he who has good religious habits. Some people inveigh against religious habits because thoy sometimes tend towards empty and in-voluntary forms. But they were meant to facilitate the performance of relig-ious duties and do not mean genuine-ness and heartiness of worship. •

The Chinese women all wear socks and loose trowscrs. or pantaloons, as some call them, with loose sacques that lit closely at the neck and hang gracefully down near-ly to the knees. Though this is their dai ly costume in all parts of the land, yet on holiday occasions some of the women wear a silk o r satin skirt reach-ing from the waist nearly to the feet, but with no crinoline or petticoats to make it stand out, a s our American women do.

This female dress of embroidered satin o r silk sacque' and silk or satin pantaloons, with no cramping about the waist o r lungs, is certainly the most sensible and becoming female

His conscience was void of offense toward God and man. If challenged as to his absolute sinlessness, he would have been the •first to deprecate any-thing of the sort; instantly he would have acknowledged that in his rough soldier life he was constantly in need of the propitiating sacrifices, which should plead for him with God. But in respect-to Saul, o r to any treachery

" Kvery man is a bundle of hab i t s . " Habits one must have, but ho may choose whether they shall be good or bad. One choice does not secure a set of good or bad habits, though It marks a beginning. I recently met a large man and asked him his weight. He puzzled me by replying that he tipped the beam at two hundred and sixty or one- hundred and eighty, ' just as ho pleased I asked foran expla-nation and was told that it required several months to throw off eighty pounds of flesh, and a strict course of diet which prohibited meats and rich

.hail not lifted up his soul unto vanity, o r sworn deceitfully (Psa . vii. 3, 4, 5; xxlv.)

Pain is attributable to four distinct sources: T o the direct agency of Satan under God's permission. To the re-sults of our own wrongdoing. To~the Providencc of God forhigh moral ends. To the malignity and malevolence of our fellows. Of all these, tUere is none

Bad habits are tyrants. Poor is he, however large his bank account, whose habits a r e cords of sin. I k is a bond-slave, bo his boast of freedom over so loud.

1 may add that I have at iny home full suits of ladles ' anil gentlemen's clothing which I brought from China. Among these Is a gentleman's satin gown, richly embroidered. Th is rnoth-er-hnbbard originally cost some weal-thy Chinaman nearly $100, such was the profusion of embroidery with floss silk that covered It.

Murttl.—Though far behind ou r wo-men in many other things, we learn from the above that the Chinese wo-

men would take tho blue ribbon a t a n y coiinty fair for the most convenient, practical, picturesque, pleasant and protective costume. But a las ! for the I'hineso men. Thei r costume would I*. classed with the petticoat sex of our own land as very inconvenient.

A Thr i l l i ng S to ry of Special P r o v -idence .

The following remarkable incident, i\as written at my request by Rev. Geo. I S t u a r t , and I present it t o t h e r e a d -

o f t h e B . U - T I S T A s i t R E F L E C T O R for the good It may do. It Illustrates -i-veral great truths;

I. The value of honor paid to pa i -i - l l tS .

J. (foil 's special providence. The fixity »f God's purposes.

I. The iiniKirianco of prayer . The harmony of divine sovereign-

ty and human freedom in their myste-rious co-operation, and in the execu-tion of God's will over his creatures. •'The heart of man deviseth his way, but God directeth his s teps ," in the providential use of means to tho end. God was not ready for S tuar t to die, and this interposition is just as marked, if not as miraculous, a s the release of Peter from prison by the angel. Let skeptics scoff, but God/in Chris tJosus. and by the''power of the Holy Spiri t , rules and reigns aud saves to-day just as in the day of miracles.

"Honor tfiy father and thy mother: that thy 'davs may bo long upon the land which the I-ortl thy God givcth thee."

God has taught me tho truth of this commandment. Ix.-t every yon'ng man and every young woman hear this:

A few years ago I made an a r range-ment with three young men, special friends of mino, in Cleveland, Tenu., the little town where I live, to join me 111 a trip to the Holy Land. We had planned this trip, und talked about it. and read and studied about it for ' two years or more. A friend of mine had kindly given me $700 for this t r ip, which, added to tho little'auiount I had saved, my monetary arrangements were complete. The other young men were in good financial circumstances, and had adjusted their business so that all things were ready for ou r long ex-

. i»ected trip. I have an old-fashioned mother,

whose corftmand has always lieen the law for ojp actions. When Bhe said, George, do this, o r George, do that, I did it. When sho said, George, don ' t do this, o r yiat . I d idn ' t . If I did, then shedid something, and did it after the old-fashioned style, that impressed itself upon a fellow's mind and body. I l u ^ H n ^ to communicate with her my long cherished plans—for though I was married and had children, still my good mother made her home with me; I was still her son, and was as much subjected to her commands as when a little boy.

1 was a teacher In Centenary Female 1 ollege, the president of which was my father-in-law. I made arrangements

'"•wife and children and my moth-agalnui Win in the college building,

arranged for their* expenses

during my absence. Everything seemed to favor my trip.

A few month's before the time we had set for our departure, I mentioned the subject, for the first time, in the pres-ence of my mother, and she raised up with a "Surprised look and said: "George, 1 don ' t want ^'ou lo cross the ocean during my life-time. I am old and scary. You are my only depend-ence, and I could never live with the ocean betweeu me and my. Inty. Wait until I am gone, then you can make that t r i p . "

I saw it would noi do, just a t that time, to press my case, but she had al-ways been so eager for me to follow up the desires of my heart when they were right, and had always been so anxious for me to mnkc a success of. my ministry, that I dropped the subject just there with Ihls sentence: "Wel l , mother, a trip through the Holy Land would be a great help to me in my min-i s t ry . " I decided to get everything ready, my plans all complete, and to get things in such. a shape as that mother, in her goodness, could not stop me. S o that after my wife had agreed to the-trip ou the ground of its helpful-ness to me In my ministry, and after all the plans had been completed, and the time had run up to within two weeks of our departure, I raised the subject again in the presence of my mother, and -talked aliout it as a settled ques-tion, and was simply giving directions a s to what should -be done during my abscnce, when my mother looked up and snid: " W h a t is that, George?' ' " T h o plans are all a r ranged for our European t r fp , the money is in tho bank. I have mada arrangements for you and; mv wife and little ones here during my absence. My three young friends have their arrangements al l made, and that we would start week af ter next tor our Kurojiean trip, which had been my dream for years , and the most delightful hope of my l i fe ." My mother looked at me full in the face and sa id : ' "George. I told you I did not want you to go to Europe. I have prayed over this matter, and have thought much over it, and have made up my mind in the matter, and nqw i tell you plainly, my son. you shall not go to Kuroi" ' ."

1 said: "Mother , let 's argue this question a little. I fear you do not ap-preciate what this t r ip will be-to me a s a minister. I fear you do not appre-ciate what you will blot out of my life by this decision. I fear you do not appreciate .the plans, and tho work and tho anxiety of the past four years, Vlilc'i have culminated in the arrange-ment for this t r ip . Hear my argument in the matter liefore you decide."

She looked a t me full in the face again and said: "My son, I have prayed over the matter, 1 have thought over tho matter, and my mind is fully-made up. It is not ncccssary.to argue the question. 1 repeat it so you can understand it, you shall not go to Eu-rope, and that ends it.".

And there I dropped the question and dropped the trip, and dropped what I considered one of the brightest hopes that I had ever entertained, the hope of walking where my Savior had walk-ed, and looking upon tho scenes upon which lie had looked.

1 hunted up my three companions and said to them: "Boys , I am not in i t . "

They said iii great consternlaton: " W h a t is the matter? You cannot pull out this late, after all arrangements are made ."

I said: " I t is not my fault, boys; mother will not let roe g o . "

Thoy replied, sarcastically: " A r e you tied to your mother 's apron strings ye t?"

I said: "Wel l , I would not hi t the old Atlantic against my mother 's com-mand for the world. I cannot go, and that ends i t . "

They replied: "You owe us some-thing in this matter. We have bejn depending on you, and you are a j p a r t of all the ar rangements ."

I replied: "True , my friends, no ouo regrets it more than I do. I got iu debt to my mother first, and 1 pay the oldest debts first. I cannot go, and that endB I t . "

The following week I received a let-ter- f rom Bro. Sam Jones, asking me to take my wife and join him in a t r ip to Canada to spend a few of the sum-mer weeks. I was glad to accept this invitation, and ' be away from Clove-land on the day that the boys should start for Europe. And so the day they took their departure I was sailing on Lake Ontario. Bro. Jones and my wife and I were seated on the deck of the vessel. It was a bright day and the steamer was plowing g r a n l l y through the blue waters, and I said to Bro. Jones: " S a m , this Is the day the boys start for Europe. I wish this old steamer was headed for Europe and my three Cleveland friends were with me. What a grand t r ip that will be for them. I shall never be reconciled to my mother 's severity in her decision in that ma t t e r . "

Sam replied: "Wel l , old fellow, 1 guess your mother is right, the whales might have got you on that t r i p . " And we dropped the aubject.

The next evening we were in Buffalo, N. Y. On our return en roulr for the New York Chautauqua, as we walked into the dining-room Bro. Jones pur-chased a -Vfir York Il'orM, and as we walked into the table he was glancing over the head lines. Just a s we reached the dining-room door, he said: "Hello! George, there's been a terrible wreck at Thaxton, Va. , and here is a terrible list of the ki l led ." Running down the list, he' said: "Here ' s somebody from Cloicland, T e n n . "

1 jerked the paper from his hand, and ran down the list and read aloud to my wife: " John M. Hardwiek, killed and burned; Willie Steed, killed and burned; Willie Marshall , killed and burned." The other name on the list would have read, George R. Stuar t , killed and burned, but for my mother's interposition.

I ran out to the bulletin liojird and looked for tho next t ra in for Cincin-nati and Cleveland, Tenn., and found it started in thirty minutes. W e hur-ried through our supiier, and instead of taking the train for Chautauqua, New York, we took tho t ra in forCleveland, for 1 knew that the families of thoso boys would need my sympathy and my help in the dark hours of trouble. When we reached tho depot a t Clove-land. Tenn., we found groupsof friends standing about the depot waiting anx-iously for messages from the scene of the wreck, but no tidings changed the. sad news recorded by the paper . Al l" three of these boys were killed In that wreck.

As I walked up the main street, tho mother of one of thoso boys, who had been like a mother to me, and in whose home I had lived in my first pastorate, ran out to tho gate and caught both of my hands in hers and piteously Baid: "Oh, George, if my boy could come back; if 1 could only get ashes that I might havo a grave. Oh, my boy! My boy!" After a few words of consola-tion, I walked on up the street. My friends seemed to welcome me back as from the grave . * When I had reached the college gate my mother sawmecom-I n g s : She r an with outstretched j i rms , threw her a rms around my neck, and said; "That lc God! My boy Is safe! My boy still l ives!"

I kissed her quivering lips and said: "Thank God, mother, I havo never yet gone wrong when I followed your ad-vice. It has saved my life, I suspect, oftoncr than once. I shall hear your voice of advice from hereto tho grave. And right there God taught me the

truth of that commandment which says: 'Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon tho land which the Lord thy God glveth thee.""

On a prominent street in tho city of Cleveland we have erected a beautiful marble shaft to the memory of those boys. I .never pass It but as I look upon It I Bay: "There Is one marble monument orccted to the truth of God's W o r d . "

W h a t Is Needed.

What the world needs, and should receive from Christian people, Is or-thodox helpfulness. Creeds, based on. well-defined Bible truth, have their uses. Christian doctrine, sound Bible teaching, must have studious attention, in order to right living and right do-ing: but the great thing, af ter all, is straigbtout, sympathetic, blessed help for thoso who are bleeding from the wounds of s in 's hurtfulness. fonthoso

( who are pressed by galling tr ials , for j those who a r e deeply saddened by the

woes and bereavements of life. Dr. J . R. Day, in a sermon to his

people, says: "You jieop'.e must un-| derBtand that If you uoglect to do His . works. He will raise up others to do i His works, -not simply the profession,

not simply the ceremonial, but the works. That is what helps the harvest up, that helps the shoulder that is bend-ed under a weight of sorrow, that helps

i the eyes that are red and swollen from j much weeping to become bright with

hope shining out from the soul, that ! helps the one who is struggling, and

who known not how to turn, without the | help of those who are doing the Mas-

ter ' s work, to get a ray of light into his darkened soul. They are the ones ^ho used a personal h e m , a personal sym-pathy from those sent by the Master, the Lord Jesus Carist , to help them up the mountain side, so that they may-look up and receive fa i th ."

| This is the true orthodoxy, the heart | of Christianity, the real power and ; beauty of Christian life, and is just

what the world needs. C. H. WETHF.UHE.

Is Denomlna t lona l l sm a Sin?

Nobody will misunderstand t b j spirit in which we quote for thought-ful readers the following from our Baptist contemporary, the Walthman, of Boston: "If denomlnationalism is the crying evil that some advocates of what 'they call 'Christian unity ' re|i-rescnt it to be. how does it come about in the United States, tn which denomi-nationalism lias reached its extreme development, thai, to quote Profs. Schaff and Christlieb. Christianity has attained its finest fruitage?

In the middle ages there was one all-cmbracing Church, but the Influence of tho unity it achieved was more disas-t rous to Christianity th^n tho antago-n i sm of the world. The rlso of a de-nomination has often marked the 1 Iberation o f a b a n d o f noble Christians from ecclcslastical restraints, and in their freedom they have had an oppor-tunity to develop a type of Chris t lar life and enterprise which has blessed the world." Whether unity would be good or bad", depends on what sort of unity it is to be. Tru th and freedom must lie its accompaniments- Chrittint, Adncale. •

What Is an Anthem?

People who know little about a sub-ject explain It m u > clearly than those who know all about It. An old sai lor had heard in chureh an anthem which greatly pleased him. He was telling a shipmate, who asked: " I say. Joe, irhal't (in anlhanr' " W h a t ! replied Joe, " d o you mean to say you don ' t know what a hanthem Is?" " N o t me. " "Wel l , thenr I ' l l toll yer. If I was to say to yer, ' 'Ere, Bill, give mo that 'and spike. ' tha t wouldn't be a hanthtm.

S e m i n a r y Notes .

Bree ty , neway Texas ! The seasons a re not more divergent and shift ing thau the people of its domain. A threatening eloud, a little cyclonc, some broken limba, wounded hear taand loss of life; and again the calm and the beautiful takes ita way. With a little eloud here and there our people a re a t peace, and right nobly down at work. The immense number of reviv-al meetings a re attended with unuaual graciousncss atid success. Not fo r years have our churches been more blessed.' The general spir i t and in-terest seems to be more deliberate and profound than we ever knew. Thia is certainly a most favorab le omen of steadfastness and permanency of the work done. And one observable fea-tu re is. the principle work of the sea-son ia being done by pastora with their own churches and helping each other . W e have experienced the time when a revival eould hard ly be expected with-out a revival is t . Not so now. The reported increase among our churehea is immense.

The Associat ions a re now rap id ly being held, and will continue until November. The Sta te Convention will meet a t Belton Fr iday before the sec-ond Sabba th in October. Can ' t you be with us . Bro. Edi tor?

Baylor Universi ty opened up in splendid style the first Monday in Sep-tember, The number present the first week and the continual increase is a mat ter of great sat isfact ion and en-couragement. Dr . Burleson highly appreciates the confidence and s tead-fastness of his fr iends both old and new.

A great many changes a re occurr ing among the pas to rs in the country, par t icular ly JJS it h a s long been the custom to elect pas tors annual ly . W e believe the custom to be unscriptural , and attended with evil continually. _

A series of meetings have been begun a t the F i r s t Church, th is city, conduct-ed by Dr . Carro l l , the pas to r . The out look is quite promising, and the meetings a re expected to continue in- , definitely. A large tabernacle ia bt/ ing erected by the church, to be u for the meeting, and then improvi and made comfortable fo r regula services till a new church house isx

built. The present biiilding has be-come so surrounded with wholesale business houses, and the noise of t r a i n s o n the ad jo in ing streets, that ;

Tho Seminary opened "^lesday. Oc-tober 1st, with a remarkljWj} increase of students. The number of last yea r is surpassed by 40, and yet there is room fo r more to. come. All things considered, this is a splendid opening.

In the morning Dr. Whits i t t deliv-ered a short address to the students, in which he impressed upon them the thought t ha t care must be taken to cu l t iva teadeep , fervent and wholesome piety. Ha rd atudy is one purpose to mainta in , but th is is secondary to piety. Good learning and good piety should be co-existent.

At night Dr. H. H. Har r i s , who was recently elected to the cha i r of Bibli-cal Introduction and Polemic Theology, delivered his i naugura l address upon "Polemic Theology: Its Scope, Utility and Me thod . " Dr. H a r r i s indicated the lines upon which he intended to study, and would invite the students to s tudy. He spoke of every Chr is t ian ' s being a soldier , and being engaged da i ly in a fight, though with wca]>ons not of the fiesh. The fiercest of a l l war fa re was waged in the human heart , and the contest is both offen-sive and defensive. Tho defense of truth, overthrow of e r ro r , is just a s real a s war in matter . W e may com-promise in mat te rs of expediency, but we d a r e not compromise e ternal , un-changeable t ruth. The great masters in Chris t ian war fa re handle the sword of t ru th in different methods.

A t the conclusion, Dr. Whits i t t read an abs t rac t of the teaching of the Seminary and Dr. H a r r i s afilx«I h i s s igna ture in token of the faH, of h i s readiness to teach the truth contained in it.

Tennessee sends up a good delega-t ion. Eight old students and six new ones a r e noticed so fa r . The new ones a re T . L. Fuqua, W . M. Anderson, J o e P . Jacobs , A. Butler, W . A. Cat-lett, Alber t R . Bond. Others a re ex-pected later. Dr . Eaton took tea with us Tuesday.

—Wo closed a series of meetings a t Fairfield on the second day of this month which resulted in four addi -t ions by bapt ism and ono by res tora-t ion. Rev.

Ho is teaching school a t Fairfield, and ia quite popular a s teacher and preach-er . Ho administered the ordinance of baptism o n the last day to the four liersons who united with the church. One was a little gir l , who, owing t o spinal fai lure, was baptized in a cha i r . The bapt isms were beaut i ful . Bro . Wood burled them slowly and calmly.

—I hope all who a r e thinking of the Convention which meets a t Mossy-Creek October 10th will pray earnest-ly fo r the Sp i r i t ' s presence and guid-ance. W e nftil Him above all things else. There la a great work before ua. Then we need a l l of the pastora a t thia meeting. Not one-fourth of tho paators of our Sta te attend the Convention. Tno work f ^ r the Mas-ter in Tennessee will never be accom-plished until tho pas to rs join hear t s acd hands , and then together look up to Him and do their best.

Many of our best pas-tora and soundest preachers livo in the country , and never attend the Con-vention. There a ro two reasons fo r this : 1. They feel that they a re not needod, or wanted.

X V . ^ CHANGES AND NEW.OPENINGS. In rJanpM'y of t h a t y e a r (18S8) an

experiment was made in the work a t ! T u n g Chow by temporar i ly ren t ing a j room in the water city. There , accom-panied by a se rvant woman, I spen'. ten days , ga in ing access to many wom-en who lived t o o f a r away f o r my r e g u l a r visi t ing. One evening while there, a respectable merchan t cal led, a s k i n g a n interview. Though , a s a rule , it was not best to receive men, yet finding he was an acqua in tance of my hostess, and highly esteemed by the ne ighbors , I admitted him. He apologized for ca l l ing by say ing tha t his li t t le daugh te r had been com- j ing da i ly to see me, and had told h im some of my words. He re-marked tha t the neighbors were al l puzzled a t my l eav ing a . c o m f o r t a b l e home to live for d a y s in such poor , c ramped quar t e r s , and wondered what could be my motive. Pat ient ly 1 ex-pla ined to h im the vital impor tance of ' the message we a r e b r ing ing to his people— salvat ion in th i s l i fe and the next—and how difficult it is to reach ! many of the women without coming to : live r ight down a m o n g them; tha t in the spr ing and au tumn we thus took the gospel* to the vi l lages; how. while the weather is too cold to go to a dis- > tance, I intended to l ive awhile in dif- j ferent ne ighborhoods of the ci ty f o r the same purpose . He seemed to aj>-preciate the good intentions, and tht« message itself, and both his wife and daughte r came (rifen with o thers to ! hear and inquire .^ Being pleased with I this effor t , k/rffterwards, each success-ive winter, rented rooms in different j p a r t s of the main city, where 1 could live and labor for days , making more intimate f r iendships among the women, and thereby opening the way f o r reg-u l a r visi ts a m o n g them. Many were thus drawn nearer to me. Some of my best work was done in th i s way, and souls were, I t rus t , led io Chr is t . November of this year was a l s o spent with Miss -Moon in I ' ingtu, while Mr. C. was tent ing among the vil lages a round T u n g Chow and Hwanghien.

In the beginning of 1889, Mr. C . ' s heal th being ser iously threatened, his physician s t rongly advised h i s go ing home f o r a rest , and expressed a doubt whether it would be wise f o r him ever to spend ano ther winter in T u n g Chow. Later his symptoms of para ly -sis ceased to be a la rming , and when I proposed to accompany him he 1

smil ingly replied t h a t if I proposed !

going a long to t ake ca re of him he ] would think i t best not to go, a s he should be obliged to t ake ca re of me. Whi le M £ t rave l ing h a s become more p leasan t and heal thful for h im, it has become more and more t ry ing to me a s the year* ro l l on . April 22nd he set ou t f o r the S ta tes , but went no fu r the r than Texas . . Af te r the fa i lu re in 1885 to secure the sympathy of the Board in e f for t s to introduce se l f -suppor t principles in the i r work Mr. C. had turned h i s a t tent ion m o r e earnes t ly than ever to the s tudy of mission mat-ters a t home and a b r o a d . His views, j though outl ined in the main , were not I fu l ly matured at the time of h i s visit j to Texas . Whi le the re ho at tended two Associa t ions , lectured on the sub-ject a t a few churches and the S ta te Convention, but mos t of h i s t ime was spent in rus t i ca t ing with re la t ives and recupera t ing h i s impaired s t rength . The few public addresses he made called forth f avo rab l e o r un favo rab l e ;

comments, acco rd ing to the proclivi t ies of the b e a n rg. He was present at tho meeting* of the Southern Baptis t Con-vention at For t W o r t h , but took no par t in its proceedings, and t h r u ! day»-a f t e r its ad journment turned h i s face Chinaward . fully res tored In health. j

In J u l y , 1889, Mr. and Mrs. Bost ick ar r ived and became members of o u r household. W i t h them, a lso, came Miss Knight to labor with Miss Moon a t I ' ingtu . Al l three of the Stat ions needed tho Bost icks . Mr. and" Mrs . 1'ruitt , who had re-opened Hwanghien in 181j8, wen.' now there..alone. I ' ingtu was without a man to lead the infant disciples in tha t reg ion , and ho seemed indispensable a t T u n g Chow. O u r scat tered C h r i s t i a n s in the neighbor-hood of the las t muntioned s ta t ion were becoming d i scouraged . The par- ' al.vzing effects of the " s u b s i d y sys tem - ' a round us and in o u r own schools had prevented the development of na-t ive leaders . On the d i sband ing of the boys ' school, some of the s tudents who expected employment iu the mis-sion fai led to get it, while a few were engaged a s teachers of- the l a n g u a g e for the ne'.v miss ionar ies . Bu t these miss ionar ies had a l l , except one , ci ther died o r g o n e ' h o m e , localizing the s i tua t ion , o u r g radua te s , one a f t e r ano ther , sough t employment hi o ther missions,- and , in the process of t ime, jo ined the denomina t ions they served. Some of their pa ren t s and f r i ends lost interest in Chr is t iani ty and had to be excluded from the church a s dead branches. Others, a f t e r many temptat ions, were r ighted, and were be-g inning to show s igns of t rue Chris-t i an life. A f ew had cotue in under the se l f -suppor t injime, a n d . w e r e let-t i ng their light shine, but the whole a tmosphere was so filled with ideas fostered by the grea t I ' resbyter ian College, and the s ) stem ea r r i ed on by that and other miss ions , that a foreign leader was st i l l indispensable . One by one o u r young miss ionar ies had turned the i r faces W e s t w a r d , until the na t ive brethren feared t h a t when we— the old people—should die. there would be no one to t ake o u r places. Under these condi t ions I urged tha t Mr. Bost ick should remain a t T u n g Chow, and he himself decided t o do so, a t least t empora r i ly .

W e were pleased t o find t h a t Mr. and Mrs. Bost ick and Miss Knight came to Ch ina t ak ing the " n a t i v e self-s u p p o r t " ideas f o r granted . T h o u g h they had not studied the subject in de-tai l w i th rc fe rence to Fore ign Missions, yet self-rel iance was a pr inc ip le t h a t had grown up with them, and one care-ful look a t the field was sufficient to confirm them a s to i ts correctness . When the na t ive Chr is t ians , who were recujieraUng f rom the effects of subs idy , and were growing in their concept ions of se l f - re l iance .heard tha t Mr. Bost ick would remain a t T u n g Cho.w they thanked ( iod and took cou rage .

In November of tha t y e a r Mr. and M r s . L e a g u e came to re inforce tho Hwanghien Miss ion, and with them Miss Bar ton came to T u n g Chow. In May, 1890, the second Genera l Mis-s i ona ry Conference was held a t S h a n g h a i . Mr. Bost ick and I pro-pared to attend it, bu t when the time came to s t a r t I was down with l a gr ippe , ,v»i Mr. Bost ick went without me.

Major LeGrand M. Jones.

The suliject of tho fol lowing notice, Ma jo r I>'(1 rand M. Jones , was liorn in Hal i fax County , Va . , September 2*i, 1817, and died a t the residence of his son-in-law. Mr. J . A. Landis , a t T ren-ton, Tenn . , September 22, 18(13.

At the age of 18 y e a r s ho moved witlt his f a t h e r ' s fami ly f rom V i r g i n i a to West Tennessee. In 1843 he obtained license to pract ice law, and from tha t l ime until the f a i l u re of his heal th , some fifteen y e a r s a g o , he was a suc-cessful p rac t i t ioner in 'his chosen pro-fession. In 18K.I he enlisted as a vol-unteer f o r the Mexican war , and . was ap| iolnled lo the r a n k of Sergean t Ma-j o r by Col . Win . T . Haskel l .

Bro. J o n e s was in many respects a r emarkab le man , and lived a life of more than o r d i n a r y Interest. He was a man of very g rea t force and decision of cha rac t e r , v igorous ly unswerving In al l m a t t e r s involv ing mora l pr inciple . Ho had p ro found convict ions of r ight and wrong , and the courage to avow 'tu'm and s tand by them in the face of

~~opjk>sition. In this marked t r a i t of his charac ter , ho relleetod that leonine spi r i t of devot ion and loyal ty to p r in -ciple and the cause of t ru th , which character ized In such eminent degree the f amous Huguenot stock, of which he was no unwor thy descendant .

Like a l l s t rong cha rac t e r s , ho was a man of marked Individual i ty . He though t and planned for himself , with-ou t seeking to d iv ide responsibi l i t ies with any one else. In a l l mat ters of g r ea t moment, whether poli t ical , social or religious, he never sought to find ou t where o the r s s tood before he was ready to dec la re his own posi t ion. And yet, In sp i te of tills i ron element in his composi t ion, he was withal a man of dceided suav i ty and gentleness of man-ner, r e m a r k a b l y cour teous , resiiect-ful and defe ren t i a l t owards those oven with whom ho d i f fe red . H e w a s a v c r y devoted and loya l member of tho Bap-tist denomina t ion . S p e a k i n g on the subjoct of religious convic t ions , he once remarked to tile wri ter of these • ines: " I f there was but o n e Bapt is t church In the world I would be a mem-ber of tha t church . And if there was but one B a p t i s t in the world I would lie tha t B a p t i s t . " And yet al l who knew him a t a l l Int imately will test ify to tho fac t UitA In no smal l measure he was most l i t e r a l and cha r i t ab l e to-wards al l ovangcl lca l Chr i s t i ans .

No maudl in sent imental i ty , no re-l igious can t o r gush ever found hos-pitable q u a r t e r s with th i s nob le hero of tho Chr i s t i an fa i th . Ho had g rea t reverence f o r t h ings sacred and ho ly : this w ^ u g m i p b l e fea tu re . One could hardly be with h i m a n h o u r without being impressed with his reverent spirit . Oh! t h a t the man t l e of th i s Ell-iah, in this regard, could , fa l l on many of us in th i s i r reverent and flip-pant age.

In the d a y s of b i s ac t iv i ty th i s Chris-tian lawyer was ever r eady , when one called In h i s office, to l a y as ide al l questions pe r t a in ing to poli t ics, law or secular m a t t e i s and ta lk on the

t

subject of religion and tho progress of his Redeemer 's k ingdom. His pas-tor never talked with him without be-ing strengthened and stimulated to mc^t the g rave responsibi l i t ies and delicate duties tha t fa l l to his lot. Whenever Ills church called upon him for a contr ibut ion of his means, tho call met a hearty response. He was thoroughly missionary in spi r i t and gave l iberal ly to tho cause. The wri-ter happens to know tha t th rough h i s zeal and l iberal i ty a l i t t l e . Chinese girl was educated for mission work.

He lavished upoSkills chi ldren, eight j of whom survive him, tho wealth of I his affection. He said tha t ho did not j know t h a t a day had passed since God had blessed him with children ' that" he did not p rav for them. A h ! me, what j a rich legacy to those children is the I memory of tha t fact. Like A b r a h a m i of old, he served God and command- j ed his house af ter him.

T r u l y a good man, a pr ince in Is- j rael has fal len. Let us imitate his no- j blc vir tues and follow h i s example a s ! tha t example exhibi ts Chr is t .

"Hardshell Baptisms." 1 see, Irom recent discussion*, ob-

ject ions ra ised to tho reception of i . " H a r d s h e l l B a p t i s t s , " a s tliey a r c j cal led, into o u r churches UIKIII their j bapt ism. I never knew until recently j tha t Miss ionary Bap t i s t s made such ob- ;

ject lon: and a s f a r back a s I can remem- j her no such object ions ever obtained a m o n g o u r people. Wherever , so f a r a s my observat ion goes, in o u r past j h is tory—that is, since the spl i t between the Miss ionary and aa t i -Miss iona ry i Bapt is ts tonk place—Missionary Bap-t i s t churches have . invar iably received o u r an t i -Miss ionary brethren upon 1

the i r bapt ism upon the g round simply (

t h a t they were converted to o u r views uiion miss ionary and kindred subjects . ' In some Instances whole churches and assoc ia t ions of an t i -Mis s iona ry Bap- : t i s ts h a v e been received in to o u r r a n k s \ simply upon the g round of change to miss ionary views. One whole church ' was so received last y e a r into the j Duck Hivcr Associat ion of this S ta te : . ! and a s f a r back a s 1821 Elder Daniel Buekner was s o received in to one of } o u r churches iu Eas t Tennessee and j became the !lr<t miss ionary secretary j of the Old Tennessee Convent ion. He j was the g r a n d f a t h e r of o u r g r ea t Cor- j res j iondlng Secretary , Dr. A. J . Holt.

It may bo that o u r usago upon this point is no t uniform; but differences of opinion a l o n g these l ines does not involve ques t ions of radica l or tho-doxy o r denominat ional ' fellowship. xVs'far back a s 1778 the Old Kohuku Associa t ion of Virg in ia and North I Ca ro l ina answered two quer ies a s | follows:

1. " I s wash ing feet an o rd inance of Chr i s t ' s church which ought to bo/.-on- , tinned in tho c h u r c h ? ' ' Answer: " W c ! l o o k u p o n i t a s a d u t y t o becont inucd in 1 tho c h u r c h : " and there a r e some Mis- j s ionary Bapt is t churches wlio cont inue to this day in foot-washing a s a church | o rd inance .

2. " I s the bapt ism of a believer a j legal bapt ism, if performed by a n un- j authorized m i n i s t e r ? " Answer: " I t j is o u r opinion that the person who j administered tho ord inance was very i much out of his duty, and d isp leasure | ought to be shown to such a practice: but a s for tho person 's baptism, ns it j : was done in fai th, we esteem it l ega l ; " and there a r e many of o u r churches to this day who receive what wo call " a l i e n immers ions . "

Upon the point of foot-washing, o r Pedobapt ls t immersion, there Is room among Bapt is ts for cont roversy: but a s to the luveptaocc of " h a r d s h e l l b a p t i s m " by Miss ionary Baptists . 1 can see no ground for cont roversy a t a l l . W e and o u r " o l d s c h o o l ' ' breth- ^

Until the quest ion of " F o r e i g n M i s s i o n s " was agi ta ted the great body of Bap t i s t s were prac-t ically one a s to missions; and the spl i t on tha t line did no t ' i nvo lve o u r old ar t ic les of fa i th . Until Carey and Jud -son, our fatherd.were general ly " h a r d -she l l s " a s to the convers ion of the heathen. Even the grea t Dr .

The fifth Sunday meeting of Beulah Associat ion, held with tho Oak Grove Church; Weakley County, was qu i te an interest ing one. Klder J . S .

Some of the laymen rendered good service and made th ings lively f o r the preach-ers, cspecially-when d iscuss ing tho im-por tance of lopg pas to ra t e s and the reasons for sho r t ones, etc. Many im-por tan t subjects were discussed, one of which was the best means of main-ta in ing the mi s s iona ry Interests in Beulah Associa t ion; ano ther , the best method of ma in ta in ing a Sunday-"school In every church, led by I t R. Nowlin, who made a fine spccch on the subject .

An Interest ing Sunday-school mass-meeting was held Sunday morning. Bro . G. L. Kills preached a good mis-s ionary sermon a t 11 a . m. A collec-tion was taken amount ing to 915.2.*! for assoc ia t iona l missions.

T h i s was one of the mus t prof i table meetings held by this Associat ion fn years , and I t r u s t will be the begin-ning of better and more thorough mis-s ionary interest , for Beulah is a sleep-ing giant , occupying one of the wealth-iest fields In Tennessee, with for ty o r more churches, and doing so lit t le for the Mas te r .

Do NOT'forget the Convention a t Mossy Creek next week.

Y o c c a n n o t afford to miss the Con-vention at Mossy Creek next week, if you ean possibly no. You need Iho Convention a n d , t h e Convention needs you.

IN o u r ed i to r ia l las t week upoi) the subject of " O u r l le lpers in P r a y e r , " the r e m a r k was made, " a s J o s h u a and H u r held up the hands of Moses ." As everybody; inc luding ourselves, knows, It should have been A a r o n and H u r .

THE Texas lUipliM Stumlunl makes the correct ion a s to the c i rculat ion of t h e B A I T I S T AND REFLECTOR In a very gracefu l style, accompanying It with some exceedingly kind words, which we g rea t ly apprec ia te , and for which we make o u r p rofoundes t bow.

REV. A. C. DIXON of Now York ^ City has establ ished what Is cal led I the " J a p a n e s e "Christ ian Ins t i tu te , "

the object being to reach and save the J a p a n e s e of t h a t c i ty . T h i s is a good rao%ve. !>'t us al l manifest more zeal for the sa lva t ion of fore igners in o u r

W E learn of a number from Middle • Tennesseo who a r e go ing to the Con-I ventlon a t Mossy Creek next week.

W e hope a l so lha t there will be a good delegat ion from Wes t Tennessee. Of

W E were s o r r y to learn of the death of Mrs. J . B. Cooper a t her home in

in Brownsvil le, Tenn. , where she spent a l a r g e pa r t of he r life. She was a

k indred hercsios, and bciiove tha t Chris t h a s a lways h a d a people and t h a t wo a r e the peop le . " W e should l>e g lad now to h e a r f rom o ther papers . W h a t does t h e IKrafeni Rtcimler say upon tho subject? Docs it bel ieve In a l ien Immersion, or not?

IT will bo g r a t i f y i n g news to the bre thren over the S ta te to know t h a t tho S ta te Mission Boa rd is in better condit ion l inanclally this y e a r than it has been f o r ten yea r s . On October 1st, when tho books were closed, al l of Its indebtedness had been pa id off , Inc lud ing a debt of 41,100 left over f rom la s t year , and it had a few do l l a r s in tho t reasury . T h i s resul t was due, under God and by tho ass is tance of tho brethren, to tho wise and efficient leadership of o u r indefa t igable Secre-ta ry , A. J . Hol t .

THE HVdlcni Recorder denies t h a t i t has go t Into a qua r r e l with the Texas llaptitl Standard a s to which h a s tho la rges t c i rcu la t ion . I t Int imates tha t al l of tho q u a r r e l l i n g h a s been done by the Standard. There a ro two ways of r ep ly ing to what a man may say abou t you. Ono Is to do so direct ly and the o ther Is to do so indirect ly. The Recorder choso tho la t ter of these

| methods, a s a p a r a g r a p h in i ts col-umns of several weeks a g o will a t test , but we think tha t a n indirect reply is none tho less a reply for being indi-rect.

W E acknowledge tho receipt of tho ; following invi ta t ion : " M r . and Mrs. j J a m e s W i l l i a m s invite you to be pres- 1

THE ar t ic le upon Roman Cathol i -cism, by Rov. T . R . W a g g e n c r , of Athens, Tenn. . which we publ ished some weeks a g o , seems to h a v e cut pretty deep.

LET US make a suggest ion to church-es. W h y not send your pas to r to the Convention a t Mossy Creek next week? He would like to go, wo know, but pe rhaps ho doesn ' t feel tha t ho can spa re the amount of money required. Whi le tha t may be a good dea l to him, it will bo only a small amount for the members of your -church If each one will give something for tho purpose. They will g ladly do it if you ask them. Suppose you do, so. It will help your p a s t o r to go, and then i t will help your church by the renewed informa-t ion and inspi ra t ion which ho will ga in a t tho Convention, and which be will g ive out to you upon his re turn .

" I n D a n g e r s Oft"—Some Miss ionary E x p e r i e n c e s .

Hr w. i>. rowiLi.

I was not unused to t he d a n g e r s incident to pioneer work when I came to Mexico in 1882. Dur ing my first and only pas tora te in a new rail-road town in Texas I t augh t school to supp lement my meager sa la ry . A y o u n g man came to t he school-house, a rmed wi th a pistol , threat-en ing ^o kill me. I made him g ive his pistol to me. and the court fined him heavi ly. For five y e a r s I t raveled on t he f ron t i e r of Texas , organizing Sunday schools and p reach ing t he gospel , where civiliza-tion was l i t t le known.

The savage Indian roamed at will, committ ing the most heinous depre-dat ions. Sometimes aSunday-school would be organized u n d e r a live oak t ree , and t he next Sunday a band of maraud ing Ind i ans would s u r p r i s e them and s tampede the horses , and run/ them off. I have seen e v e r y man in my congregat ion a rmed with a W i n c h e s t e r rifle and a s ix-shooter . I preached the first sermon in severa l new counties .

because I was a f ra id of them, b u t I was a v e r s e to h i v i n g any "unpleas -a n t n e s s " a r i se be tween us. F o r y e a r s I had t he sca lp of the l a s t l n d i -an chief ki l led in Texas . Be tween * ' o r t Concho and F o r t Mason I came nea r freezing to dea th in a " b l u e n o r t h e r . " H u n d r e d s of catt le and sheep were frozen tha t n igh t ou - the same pra i r i e . I kept myself par-tially warm by l augh ing at B r o t h e r Mayes, who was camped with meon h i s first miss ionary tour , and who c r ied like a chi ld. I lec tured in an ungodly community in Bell County one u igh t . and au infidel doctor and some twenty rowdys . members of an infidel c lub, by smoking and ta lk ing d u r i n g the serv ice , t hough t to pro-voke me and cause me ty r ep r imand them and g ive them an e x c u s e for do ingme bodily harm. A few n igh t s a f t e r w a r d s the doctor was severe ly cowhided by the " r e g u l a t o r s . " who a short t ime previous had whipped a man for p ro fess ing complete holi-ness . They said that n o man in the county must have too much or too l i t t le rel igion. He mustkeepolT the g r a s s and stick to the middle of t he road. He sowed the wind and reajK-d the whi r lwind . A man came to t he creek once to kill me if I baptized his wife. He was b r o u g h t u n d e r conviction while she was be ing

An i l lus t ra t ion of t h i s may be found in the following t r u e incident :

A boy about s ix teen y e a r s of age had been s eek ing employment in one of ou r large ci t ies . He looked.vainly for t w o weeks , and was well n igh hope less of ge t t i ng any work to do. when, one a f t e rnoon , he en te red a s to re kept by a gen t leman whom we will call Mr. Stone.

"Tboujb a hosl should cncamp against mc, i heart shall cot tear."-I>arM.

Young South C o r r e s p p n d o n c e .

Can you say that verse with David? j Stop and see! Does it come from | vour hearty T o say It and i.iani it, you must have faith in (!od and your i-ausc, and you must not forget that (iod will help you only when you are ] doing your very best to help your- ; selves. No matter what tho odds are j against you, if you know you a r e riirbt, j and if yoli o*ert your whole strength, > with Uod on your side, you a r e sure i to conquer. You will find this true j all you|- life long. There 's absolutely nothing to fear if Mod be for you. ] And so I have every conHdeneo *11111 wo will do this work of ours. It is the Lord ' s work. He has blessed it already, and blessed us in doing i l-He wolks though, mind you, through no. and when wo fail, i l is our fault , not His. Our hear ts must not fear.

I shall give you tirsU the second let-ter from Mexieo—the one from lit t le. Kille Chastaiir 's mother, the one I told you of last week. It is a very sweet message from our "Next-door Neigh-bor, " and I was so glad to read it last Thursday to cu r Women 's Missionary Society. There was a lady present who knew Mrs. C'hastain in her girl-hood, and of course its reading gave her peculiar pleasure. I am sure it did much ' o bring us in touch with the work in Doctor Arroyo. I hope we shall have another very soon. Listen now, one and all :

"If I look up at the clock 1 am \ afraid I shall write you a short letter

to-night, so I shall look, instead, into the cheerful little fire that burns upon my hearth. 1 intended to spend tho greater part of the afternoon at my Women's Meeting, but God sent us tho long looked for aud prayed for rain this evening, and 1 had tho ra re treat of an afternoon at home, and I have spent it in writing.

"S ince tea three little persons, of much importance in ou r household, have been through with the Saturday night 's bath ' and drill for the Sun-day-school to-morrow, and one other letter has been written. Not until this afternoon did I see your request for a letter from mo In tho HAI-TST ASH 15K-KLKCTOR, but my daughter haswrlt ten, and perhaps that is as well.

"Seven years ago day before yester-day my foot touched Mexican soil tor the first time. As 1 look back to-night over those seven years my hear t goes out in grati tude t o God for his loving kindness and tender mercies to his un-worthy servant, and for the measure of success ho has «ranled her in her chosen life work. 1 am especially en-couraged just now at the.increased at-tendance and the interest manifested at my Women's Meetings, and at tho frjlni house to IKIUSC informal pravcr-I'J/etings. At last week's Women's Meeting more than thirty were p.-eseut, and several took part , leading in prayer, quoting Scripture, o r giving a bit of personal oxpertenrc. -This always proves helpful ' -

" I wonder how you would like to attend on<- of our cottage prayer-meet-ings. I<-t me tell you alwut the last

. ode: It was held in the house of a friend whose wife, is an ardent Cuth-

- olie. For that reason we were taken to a room- off the street, where we could bo neither seen.nor heard af ter entering. The room had neither win-dow nor lloor. but Its walls were deco-rated with numerous pictures of saints, and il WHS lighted by two sputtering

tallow candles. Board-bottomed beds or mats on tho floor served for seats, and a hen and chickens clucked con-tentedly from a cradle in ono corner. A rooster, tied by the leg, occupied another corner, and seemed consider-ably annoyed by our singing. Tho owner of Uie house and his wife came in soOn after our entrance and took their seats. Then, some twenty or more followed, and wo had a comfort-ing talk from our native preacher, and some hymns and prayers, and tl\e meeting closed. 1. for on-.-, felt that It was good to lie there: It was a |ioint gained to be allowed to read'the Ulble in the house, and another, that hus-band and wife both heard it read.

"The most of the month of July we spent in Salt i l lo, and the companion-ship of almost the. only Americans 1 had si-en for a year was delightful in-deed. I We are the sole Americans in Doctor Arroyo j. 1 found the teachers of Madcro Institute rather discouraged at the seemingly small religious in-terest manifested in that school. But sicce then < iod lias seen fit to give them a precious out|>ouring of his Spiri t in Saltillo, and the whole city seems

i stirred. Mrs. Kudd writes me: 'We are having a glorious time. Seven-teen of Our girls made a public pro-

!, fession of their faith in Christ yester-^ day, and among them w-ere six who

have been fanatics and scoffers for years . ' - I know you will rejoice with those teachers who have so faithfully toiled and prayed for tho conversion of those girls. Bow precious It is to feel that you have lieen God's instru-ment iu tho conversion of a soul . Is any joy comparable to it?

••Next week I am cx|iecting the pleasure of receiviug as guests Bro. and Sister Wilson from Guada la j a ra , anil the week after we go.with them to Saltil lo to meet the other missionaries in our Annual Mission Meeting. We a r e delighted to know that our dear Dr. Will Ingham expects to meet with us there.

" B u t I must hasten to bid you good-night and rest for to-morrow's duties. It Is now nearly midnight, and our bell will arouse us for a six o'clock prayer service. May 1 ask the Young South to pray daily for Mexico? May God bless its work.

I.IIJJAN WH1GHT CUABTAI.V." Won ' t you let this remind you of the

extra pennies 1 want you to send in for Mrs. Chastain 's little school? As soon a s I have a dol lar I will send It to her, and wo shall have a pleasant par t in her work. Will you not help? I like to think wo are sowing beside all Waters.

Now, let 's seo what else tho postman lias brought- The first I open is a sad message from our little Alabama boy:

'•My missionary hen lost all her third gang of little chicks, but sho will soon have a fourth. My mother has not been able to take care of her. I write this with a sad heart. 1 havo -had tluvo bad spells of sickness since I wrote last, and one. of them came near taking me away to dwell with tho dear Savior and my little angel broth-er, but now I am getting stronger. I 11111 very lonely these days. My dear mother Is a t the Davis Infirmary In Birmingham, and will be for some time. When she returns I shall feel like the nestling bird when the long gone mother comes back to It. When my mother left she gave me this dol lar to* send dear Mrs. Maynard. to help on her work for. Jesus in thai far-off

! heathen land. 1 hope the Young South will help me pray that my moth-

' c r may soon come home well. BKN FHAN'K ANOKKSON."

' 1 know your hearts will go out in sympathy " to this sad. lonely little friend of ours . May the good God

, comfort hiui. 11c knows just what Is i best for each of u». We a r c so grate-

ful for tho dollar , and so glad to bo -remcmbere 1 even in sickness and sor-row.

From l 'uryear tnis comes: " I n our letter, which was published

in September, wo sent you 81. In tho-•ltw-eipts' you gave us credit for six evnts. Did you not receive the dollar? You will bear from us again soon.

BKNNIE AND Lots BOWDEN." 1 give the credit all r ight this time.

Something happened to my mail that week which I cannot ex plain. Tho en-closures got mixed, and where the amounts were not mentioned in the letters I had to guess which was which, and though I have a little Yankee blood In my veins, I fear I am not a good "guesse r . " As this letter men-tioned a birthday offering for a little boy. I risked the six cents, and I sup-pose some one else got the credit of this dol lar . But I ' l l make it good, perhaps some one will claim tho six cents. I wish, though, so much, that my little and big correspondents would never fall to mention the exact amount enclosed. I am so sorry to havo giv-en these little ones this anxiety, and I shall do mv best not to let it occur again. We shall lie so glad to hear from Lois soon.

Next: ' '-To-day I am fivo years old, and I

want to begin work as ono of the Young South. I enclose a dollar for our missionary. I call myself .'mam-ma 's helper. ' and 1 havo earned half this money. The rest was given me by my father and Aunt Kate Putnam. My little (ister, Kathleen, sends live cents for each of her two years.

G O R D O N H U S H I N G R o m a n - s o s . ' !

How glad wo are to welcome these two new members. May they mako earnest, steady, never-tiring workers! Will they not gather up some others, and foim a Young South Band at Walter Hill?

Here 's ono from Bcthpagc: " I am so glad to seo that o u r Baud

has done so . well dur ing the warm weather. I attended tho Wiseman As-sociation last week, and had tho pleasure of t e a r ing Brethren Polk, Wright , and Smith preach, and one of Bro. Qulscnborry's Interesting speech-es. Evory one of ou r missionary 's letters seems better than the last. I am going to try to get Hopewell Church to send a box to the Orphanage this fal l . I am sure they will do It.

O L I V E P A R D C K . "

I dare say they will, if Olive "pro-vokes" them in this good way. You read last week of the urgent noed for clothes, and if you can add some dried fruit , o r some rosy apples, o r nuts, "Mamma Saunde r s " will rejolco over al l . Go on. Olive.

I know you will join me in praise to God when you read this next sweet let-ter from MeKonzle;

••I have not written in some lime, bid, bolievo me, it Is not because of any lack of Interest in our work. You know protracted meetings a r e in progress all over the State, aud for the last, mouth there has not been a .

: week when thcre was not ono near us. . We have had n gracious revival a t Bethlehem, and I want you to rejoice , with me. I am now trying to bo a |

1 faithful*followerof my Savior . 1 have

been seeking light for ten long, weary-years, ever since I was r. small child. Xow it seems so strange that I did not accept Jesus a s my Savior long ago. I want everybody to know how more than willing no is to save us when we are willing to bo saved In His own way. I have sold my chickens, and enclose 85 cents for J apan . X will send more soon. Pray for mo that 1 may not be a stumbling block in the way of my unsaved friends. (

L I L L I A N B C K P C T T K . "

This does my heart good! May the light grow brighter every day to this new-born soul! May she do valiant Berviee for her Master ' . '

Here 's another new member from Itiply. Shake hands!

" I desire to join tho Young South, and 1 wish my offering to be. equally divided between J a p a n and the Or-phanage. 1 love.to read our mlsslon-ary 's le t ters so much. :. think them very interesting indeed. I earned my money by drying somo frui t which I sold to my father, and my mother gave me the Sunday eggs.

ItOIIEKT L. KLl'TTS " W e must gather in fast now. The

"winter days will soon be hero. Let us hearf rom the nut-gatherersand the sell-ing of late apples and popcorn, and the cotton-pickers. You've joined a noble army, Robert.

Hero's from a sweet home band: " I promised you, when I wrote be-

fore, that when Elbert 's and Edward's and my birthday came, we would send our nickels for tho Orphanage. 1 am six and tho twins a r e three years old to-day. Please consider us a lit-tle Young South Band. I earned par t of my money scouring grandma ' s knives. My papa saw your Miss Lillian Burdetto bapti icd recently.

V E R A H O C - T O N . "

I hope we'll get the namo right this time, and lhal ou r little girl will be as true a s her given name.

When tho next number reaches you the Sta te Contention will be in ses-sion, and I hope to meet many of you and your good friends at Mossy Creek. I want some extra good letters for ou r "Convention number . " Send them In from all sides, won't you? I find that our receipts must go over until next week. Most truly yours.
