OUR CHURCH'S WORK.
By Miss Carrie Lee Campbell.
(As sung at tin* Montreal Conferences to the tune
of Tipperary.)
1.
Up to Montreal women came with loving hearts
ami true.
Where they'd tiiul out how to live and what they
ought to do;
Learning who's who, what is what, and where their
nioney'd go.
Hut when they knew how great the work, some of
them said Oh! Oh!
Chorus:
Mere's fifty-four to Doctor Cheater;
Twenty-seven to Atlanta go;
And Richmond we would remember;
And the "Sweet s" man we know.
CJood-hye, all 0111? dollars.
For tlu* Church's work four-square;
It's a long time we've been deciding;
Hut our heart's right there.
II.
How can we take all this home to those we've left
behind?
How can we make others see all things that here
we find?
Sisters, it is up to its to find a loving way.
To tell to all our stay-at-homes just what the Assemblies
say.
III.
All our work at home must he built on a foursquare
plan.
So we'll he as little biased as ever we can;
Home Missions, and Foreign Missions, Publication,
too.
For Louisville, Kentucky, we a fairer part must do.

ucrmans ot tIns country. Tln?v left the Knthcrland

much for the prosperity and well being of this
eonntry, which is their own, in days gone by,
and we are sure they will continue to do so.
I AM superannuated, and am unahle to
