shadow of her death lies heavy and
grief-freighted; three daughters. Mesdailies

She possessed all the attributes of a
beautiful character, based upon principle
and piety, was self-denying,
sympathetic, gracious and tactful, and
richly endowed with intellectual attainments
and social qualities, which
made her a charming companion. In
all of life's relations: the life individual.
the life of fidelity to duty, and the
life of communion with God, her forceful
and well-balanced nature measured
up to every requirement. In her home,
where woman fulfills her highest and
noblest mission, she lived in unswerving
devotion to her family, and language is
inadequate to express the anguish and
desolation of their hearts.
She survived her God-appointed limit
?three score years and ten? with no
Impairment of her wonderful faculties
of mind, and the inevitable weariness
of her pilgrimage and unfaltering trust

awakening in the Divine Arms.
The interment took place on the 21st

Falling Waters church, the Rev. Dr.
McBride conducting the solemn committal
services. In the silence and
peacefulness of this beautiful and restful
God's acre, she sleeps beneath the
sod hallowed as the resting place of
two beloved grandchildren: John Speck
and Martha Miller Cunningham.

Mrs. A. >V. STEBBl.NS.
At the meeting of the Ladies Aid of
the Presbyterian church, of Gueydan,
La., the following resolutions were
adopted.
Whereas. God in bis wise providence
has been pleased to remove from our
midst by deatb, our beloved sister, Mrs.
Ella Emma Stebbins, a faithful and
zealouB member of tbe Presbyterian
church and Aid of this town, and tbe
honored mother of the late lamented
Mrs. W. W. Morrison, of the Congo
Mission.
Therefore be it resolved by the Presbyterian
Aid of Gueydan:
1. That the ladies of the Aid feel
deeply the Iosb of a friend and sister,
whose place among us was never vacant
until the long-continued ill health rendered
her attendance upon our meetings
impossible.
2. That her ever cheerful disposition
and smiling countenance will long be
missed in our midst, and that her helpful
co-operation in all plans for the
good of the Society, and the upbuilding
of all Christian work, as worthy of our
emmulatlon.
3. That our warmest sympathy is extended
to the bereaved husband, sons,
daughters, and aged mother, and our
sincerest prayers for their comfort and

4* That we send to the (bereaved
family, to the local papers of Queydan,
and to "The Presbyterian of the South"
copies of these resolutions.
5. That these resolutions be placed
upon the minutes of the Aid In token of
the loving memory in which the deceased
sister Is held.
A. N OF THE SOUTH
INFLUENCE OF THE MISSIONARY INTEREST
ON A CHURCH.
R*t. Joseph M. Long, Washington. D. C.
"There is that scattereth and yet increaseth."
This truth will be emphatically
verified in the experience of a
pastor who. because it is right, gives
missions a prominent place in his plans,
in proportion as he promotes interest in
the world-wide work from unselfish motives,
the local interests of the church
will be prospered. This may be a platitude,
but I would like to give a personal
instance of the truth of it.
My second pastorate was with a
country church of limited membership
and financial strength One would sav
that all that could be expected of it
was to maintain its own work. Yet,
feeling that the people ought to have
the privilege of sharing in the larger
work of the Christian Church and that
they would be much benefitted by the
enlargement of horizon, I began a series
of missionary services. We had them
one Sunday evening each month, and
the attendance was always larger than
at the usual service.
The first topic considered was, "How
the Gospel came to the Anglo-Saxons."
It was shown that we ourselves were
converted heathens, the deities our ancestors
worshipped being recorded in
the names of the days of the week. This
suggested the logical conclusion that
we ought to pass on the same Gospel to
other heathen, just as the monk
Augustine did to our forefathers. Then
we followed a historical course for a
few evenings, studying the work of
Carey and Judson especially. Next the
different missionary fields of our own
denominations were reviewed, together
with the work of other bodies of Chris,
tians. The foreign series alternated
with the subjects connected with home
mission work, the Indians, Mexico, and
Alaska.

early missionary efforts, later
work in the field, present condition and
results. These were mainly compiled
from missionary handbooks and magazines,
and were given to different members
to read. Selections were also read
from recent wide-awake books of missionary
travel and these received the
best of attention. Several young people

ed programs, the reverse side of which
gave the latest missionary statistics, or
sometimes a map of the mission field.
They were in so much demand by the
people that I had some difficulty in
finding copieB after the meeting for my
own file. An Immense colored missionary
map spoke to the eye continually,
and If someone read poorly, or the
auditor was not interested in a paper,
the map would hold attention. At first
because the collection is usually supposed
to be the climax of every missionary
meeting. I thought it wise to dispense
with the offering altogether- Envelopes
were distributed, however,
which resulted In a larger annual offering
than the church had been accustom
ea 10 raise ior missions. L/ater, In another
church, the same feeling did not
exist, and as the offering was expected
and welcomed, we took it regularly,
using the envelopes also. Some who
were not professing Christ accepted
papers to read, and not only conferred a
favor, but as the event showed, were
themselves benefitted by so doing. An
explanation of the map -of the field by
the pastor or a brief summary closed
the formal part of the meeting, and
time was given for voluntary remarks
and prayer.
The preparation of a missionary con.
cert by this method cost more time and
labor than a sermon, but in view of the
gratifying results it was not in the least
(45) 21
begrudged. The isolation of the church,
which at first thought might seem prejudicial
to missionary interest, had the
opposite effect, the people being the
more pleased to hear about far away
lands and other races. Odd as it may
seem, one or two who seldom came to
church bought missionary literature to
read about the work for themselves. A
ladies mission circle was formed, consisting
largely of those who were at
first non-Christians, yet were regular In
their attendance and showed genuine in.
terest. The attendance on the missionary
service was above that at the
average meetings of the church. For
these people with limited opportunities
for knowing the world without, the missionary
meeting possessed a distinct attraction.
and apparently it never oc
curred to them that missionary meetings
could be dull. Perhaps some were
interested enough at first in the more
general information given, but they
were not unaffected when some tale
was told of missionary heroism, or of
heathen yearning for or appreciation
of the light afforded by the Gospel.
The year following the inauguration
of these services a genuine old fashioned
revivial of religion broke out
with the first night of the Week of
Prayer, and continued every night for
six weeks, without an evangelist and
without extra preaching, the meeting
being devoted to prayer and testimony
and public confession of Christ for the
first time. It was remarkable for its
spontaneity and for the permanence of
the results. I have always believed
that one of the contributory causes of
this work was the influence exerted by
the missionary meetings. Sometimes
the voice of a reader In one of them
had showed that his heart was touched
by what he read, and these were the
very ones who early took a stand for
Christ in the revival meetings. We
had been interested in finding that the
Book of Acts was beijg enacted over
again on the mission field, and were
blest by having a day of Pentecost
among ourselves. I firmly believe that
any pastor, not particularly interested
in missions, by giving the subject its
rightful place in his work, would find
that though there were diversities of
operations, the same Spirit could, and
would, bless the awakened church at
home as truly as he does the activities
at the front.?The Missionary Review
of the World.
CALVINISM.
We wish we could persuade a considerable
number of writers, printers
and proofreaders to stop spelling Calvinism,
"Calvanism. They must get the
old theologian somewhat mixed up with
a galvanic battery.?Western Christian
Advocate.
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
(ConUnued from pags 8.)
There was no question, but full belief.
'1 he Lord's making it known waB sufficient
proof of its reality. "In the
manger:" the cattle trough, a rude
stone perhaps, but it cradled a King.
"The babe:" Christ was born of woman,
made under the law. He nnrtook ol
the nature of those whom he came to
save. Xnnft other onnld fill the nlnoe
His birth at once established the principle
of substitution. He became a legal
substitute. *fMary pondered:" Bhe could
not understand it all. She seems to
have knowa until perhaps near the
close of Christ's career on earth the
precise relation of her son to the
scheme of grace. She was a good
woman, and blessed above women, but
there ig not a word said of her or an
intimation given that she Is more In
God's gracious plan than any other
true, pious woman or mother- And
certainly she was not omniscient then,
and had no promise of being so ever
after.
