MISS MARY E. WRIGHT, • . • Editress,
WOMAN’S MISSIONARY UNION.
Report of Woman’s Missionary Un
ion, convened in Atlanta May 6th
1892.
Amid these busy days it is difficult
to find time for a thoughtful report
of the meetings, but feeling sure our
readers will expect some tidings in
this weeks issue, we prepare, very
hurriedly, an account of the meet
ings up to Monday morning. Re
port of the later meetings will ap
pear in next weeks issue.
The Union met in the Central
Presbyterian church which was kind
ly tendered us when it was found
that the First Baptist church would
be needed for overflow meetings.
Our beloved President, Miss Mcln
tosh presided and the states were
• well represented by a .number of the
Vice-Presidents and delegates. The
devotional exercises were led by
Mrs. S. Wilson of Georgia, after
singing a hymn, Mrs. W. H. Baker,
of Atlanta, led us in a brief prayer,
embracing the needs of the hour.
Mrs. Wilson read Psalm xxxiv, and
lent new meaning to it as out of her
own trials she brought to us the mes
sage, “I will bless the Lord at all
times, His praise shall continually
be in my mouth.”
At the close of these exercises
Mrs. Hatcher delivered the address
of welcome. The ladies of Atlanta
could not have made a wiser selec
tion. Her own tender sympathy
and warm heart which have made
her seem like a mother to all the
little ones in the Baptist Orphan’s
Home throbbed in every sentence of
her address. Mrs. T. D. Osborne of
Kentucky, responded for the dele
gates, expressing their appreciation
of the welcome received to the hearts
• and homes of Atlanta.
As we listened to our President’s
message to us this year, we felt that
out of her own earnest heart she
spoke to us and our hearts burned
within us to uphold her hands in this
her labor of love.
Our Corresponding Secretaries,
Miss Armstrong’s report was very
gratifying as she informed us of pro
gress all along the lines of work, of
the interest in the girls school in Ha
vana, and of the increase m the num
ber of boxes sent to frontier mis
sionaries, and especially gratifying
was the information that the Chris
tian offering this year was larger
ever before.
The first question which came up
for discussion was a recommenda
tion from the Home Board that we
assist in supporting missionaries and
their families on the frontier. Ur.
J. Wm. Jones spoke briefly, but ef
fectively concerning the recommen
dation and it was carried without
dissent.
The next question under discus
sion was a recommendation from the
Foreign Board that the women un
dertake the support of all the women
on the foreign field, numbering fifty
four, at a cost of 832,000. There was
much discussion on this point many
seeming not to appreciate its weight,
coming, as it did, from the Foreign
Mission Board, and some others fear
ing it would interfere with our work,
in some, to me, quite accountable way.
I think what the Board desires is to
feel assured that $32,000 will come
in from the women for the support
of Missionaries on the foreign field.
Miss Moon and Mrs. Pruit each
spoke of this question. Miss Moon
showing us the need of breadth in
all missionary enterprise and sympa
thy bounded only by the needs of the
heathen. Mrs. Pruitt expressed her
pleasure that married women were
numbered in the fifty-four since they
too would have the support and she
hoped the prayers and sympathy of
the women at home.
When the recommendation was
voted on, though it occasioned so
much discussion there was but one
dissenting voice.
In the afternoon a reception at
the Governor’s Mansion, was ten
dered the delegates and visiting la
dies by the ladies of the First church.
It was delightful in every particular,
assisting Mrs. Xorthen in receiving
were Miss Northen Mrs. Govern
or Eagle of Arkansas, Mrs. Sylvanite
Landrum and others.
A profusion of flowers, delicate
refreshments and a host of pleasant
people made the reception a perfect
success, the great charm consisting
in the community of interest which
brought us together.
The Union held no meetings on
Saturday, as it was Centennial day
and all the ladies wished to hear the
addresses. In the afternoon a re
ception at the Orphan’s Home was
tendered the Convention and the
Union and many availed themselves
of the opportunity to visit the home
and see how well this new enterprise
is progressing and what a great work
it is destined to do for the home
less children in our State.
On Sunday afternoon a mass
meeting was held presided over by
Miss Fannie E. Heck of North Car
olina who led the devotional exer
cises assisted by Miss Mina Everett
of Texas. The first speaker was
Mrs. C. W. Pruitt who presented not
the contrasts but the likeness be
tween our lives and those of the Chi
nese women, and urged us to ask
ourselves, “what more can I do for
these women ? ”
Remembering that we are not do
ing it for ourselves but for Him.
After singing, “The Morning Light
is Breaking,” Miss Heck introduced
Miss Joeb who has spent four win
ters in Cuba connected with Mr.
Diaz mission. She gave many inter
esting foots about the work, but we
hope to have, in full, her paper, in
the columns of the Index.
Miss Clotilde Diaz told us
in her own sweet way of
her conversion and her mother’s
work, saying that her mother’s con
version was more wonderful than the
raising of Larzaus, for Lazarus was
dead only four days, her mother was
dead to Christ for 40 years.
Just at this point Mrs. George B.
Eager, of Anniston, Ala., made an
appeal that the two collections taken
for foreign missions, be used to pur
chase a horse and buggy for Mrs. Z.
C. Taylor, who is now a hopeless
cripple. $181.51 was quickly raised,
a dear woman in Atlanta giving SIOO,
and small amounts are still coming
in.
Our thanks are due Mrs. Burn
ham, of Missouri, who in her own in
imitable way presided over the col
lection and secured it so promptly.
The next talk was from Miss Lot
tie Moon, for nineteen years our
missionary in China, whom we all
knew and loved through her letters
and her work. She told us so inter
estingly of the changes in China to
wards Christian civilization and re
ligion. Spoke of the brilliant men
China has produced and of General
Grant’s remark that the three great
est men he met in his journey around
the world were Gladstone, Bismarck
and Li Hung Chang, Viceroy of
China. Lady Li established a school
for Chinese women to learn western
medical science. Railways will ere
long be built by Chinese laborers
with Chinese material. The famine
in the Shantung province enabled
the missionaries to get a strong hold
on the people and they learned that
missionaries were not emissaries of a
foreign government but indeed fol
lowers of Him who said: “Greater
love hath no man than this, that a
man lay down his life for his friend.”
Another important point in the work
to-day, is the rush of missionaries to
the interior, where they are beyond
the protection of the consulate. Our
Southern Baptist are not pushing to
the interior as they ought, and it is
our fault who are holding the ropes
at home, we have not, with faith and
money, woven them long enough. Let
us go to work for inland China. Miss
Moon spoke of the changed tone of
the secular press, of the growth of
Christianity from six Christians in
1842 to 40,000 in 1892, and of the
Chinese alarm at its rapid progress.
Amid all these encouragements shall
we not make a strong, determined
effort for China this year ?
The ladies were invited to come
forward and speak to the missiona
ries and while Miss Moon was called
to a meeting of the Board, a time of
pleasant social intercourse was in
dulged in, and each one of us felt, I
am sure, that it was good we had
teen there.
The Union assembled Monday
morning at half past nine, and was
led in the devotional exercises by
Mrs. A. M. Hillman of Miss. The
subject of boxes to our frontier mis
sionaries was introduced by Mrs. M.
D. Early of Tenn., in a most interest
ing paper, presenting the great need
of these devoted men and the com
fort and help derived from the
boxes. After some discussion this
recommendation of the Board was
adopted.
The Centennial of Missions was
presented by Dr. F. M. Ellis in an
earnest, practical way and we feel
sure there was not one woman pres
ent whose heart was not stirred to
greater self-denial and more conse
crated effort for the great work of
evangelizing the -world, nor one who
could not join with Dr. Ellis in his
prayer that we might give ourselves
with all we are and have to our Lord
for His use.
The discussion of the subject,
Prayer in Mission Work, was led by
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY, 19, MAY 1892.
Mrs. Telford of Fla., and we realize
as never before the pressing need of
more earnest supplication for direc
tion in all our efforts and for the
out-pouring of the Holy Spirit upon
our missions and missionaries.
A very interesting question was
the recommendation of the Foreign
Mission Board that the Christmas
offering this year be given to the
re-inforcement of the mission in
Japan. Dr. T. ‘P. Bell presented
the subject in his own clear convinc
ing way, and there was little discus
sion for we quickly saw the wisdom
of the recommendation and adopted
it. The North China mission has
been largely reinforced and our two
missionaries in Japan are calling for
help. They sent Mr. Bennett mis
sionary of the American Baptist Mis
sionary Union in Japan, to urge
upon the Convention the necessity
for re-inforcement. They baptized
this year 16 and the church numbers
25 members.
An extra session of the Union was
called for Monday afternoon at three
o’clock as there were so many ques
tions to be discussed, and the ladies
were very anxious to hear Rev. W.
D. Powell, our much loved mission
ary in Mexico. The attendnnee was
not so large as in the morning as
notice of the meeting was not given
until late in the day. The most in
teresting feature of this session was
Dr, Powell's talk about the Madero
Institute at Saltillo, Mexico. He
told of the great need of larger ac
commodations for boarding pupils,
the school now being full to over
flowing. A gentleman remarked to
him that if they did not put a second
story to the building the girls would
be sticking out of the windows.
Mr. Powell introduced Mr. Trerino,
a native Mexican missionary, and
interpretted for him as he gave us a
few w ords of greeting. At the close
of the meeting the ladies adjourned
to the lecture room of the First Bap
tist church, where a reception was
tendered the delegates, ladies and
gentleman, that they might have an
opportunity to meet the returned
missionaries.
Among the missionaries present
were, Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Pruitt,
Miss Lottie Moon, Rev. D. W. Her
ring, China, W. J. David, P. A. Eu
bank, Africa, Mr. Bennett, Japan,
and Rev. W. D. Powell and Mr.
Trevino, Mexico. There were also
present Dr. Hartwell of San Fran
cisco and several appointees of the
Foreign Mission Board. It was an
occasion long to b 8 remembered, and
as we looked into the happy faces of
these noble children of God, we
coule not but feel that amid the dis
couragements and privations theirs is
a very joyous life and none need
turn away because of the trials for
He who said, “My grace is sufficient
for thee,” abundantly fulfils His
promise to His servants.
On Tuesday, the Union assembled
for the closing session, Mrs. J. L.
Burnham, Mo., led the devotional
exercises, touching each one as from
the depths of her own heart she
spoke to us.
There were many requests for
prayer for special objects, and this
was one of the most helpful features
of our meeting.
Mrs. F. B. Davis, Texas, intro
duced the question of an expense
fund for Central Committee; there
was a good deal of discussion but
the advisability, nay, the necessity
for such a fund was quickly deter
mined though each State is left to
provide for it as she may deem ex
pedient.
Rev. A. J. Diaz, of Cuba, spoke
to us of the Girls School in Havana,
not confining himself however, to
that theme. He said, “I like to talk
to the ladies Convention, they
always understand my broke En
glish.” Then he told us of 190 be
lievers baptized this year, of his Sun
day-school numbering 900, and of
the girls boarding school with twelve
boarders. Miss Joerg also spoke to
us of the school, the good it is accom
plishing and the need of enlarge
ment, especially the need of a matron
and another efficient teacher.
Mrs. K. Sloan, S. C., read an inter
esting paper on “Board Work,” and
there was a very general discussion
of methods of work among youug
people, all realizing its incalculable
importance.
The committee on resolutions
bought in an excellent report which
was promptly adopted, thanks being
returned to the Central Presbyterian
church, the Baptist ladies of Atlanta,
the pages, sexton and all who had
contributed largely to the comfort
and efficacy of the meeting.
The most important business of the
morning was the election of officers.
Our beloved president, Miss Mcln
tosh, declined re-election feeling a
more urgent call to work in her own
State, South Carolina, but it was with
sincere regret that we learned her
decision.
The result of the election declared
Miss Fannie E. Heck, Raleigh, N. C.,
President; Miss Annie W. Arm
strong, Baltimore, Maryland, Cor.
Sec; Mrs. F. M. Ellis, Baltimore,
Md., Rec. Sec.; Mrs. Oliver, Balti
more, Md., Treasurer, Among the
Vice-presidents from the States there
were few changes. Our Union
enters on another year we hope of
more earnest prayer, consecrated
effort and liberal giving. Let us not
forget to remember often, these our
officers, before our Father in Heaven.
The only sad feature of our gather
ing was the parting, while we sang,
“God Be With You Till We Meet
Again,” and realized that perhaps
that meeting would not be until we
gather with the redeemed aroun I the
throne of God and of the Lamb.
If you feel weak, tired, and all
run down, Hood’s Sarsaparilla is
just what you need to build up
strengthen and purify your blood.

Sister Nevie Barfield Berlin
sends us the following receipts for
the Household department:
Ham and eggs —Cut the ham in
rather thin slices, taking care that
things are of the same thickness in
every part. (Always using great care
to select only prime sweet hams)
Cut off the rind and if the ham
should be too it fifteen
minutes in hot water and then dry it
in a cloth. Put it into a frying-pan,
set it over the fire, and fry until thor
oughly done and nice brown: then
remove to a hot platter. Break the
required number of eggs into a sau
cer, one at a time, slip them into the
ham drippings, dip the hot gravy
over the eggs until a white, film cov
ers the top of each, then remove
them from the frying pan, place
them on the slices of ham, or serve
on a separate platter; sprinkle lightly
with salt and send to the table at
once. The eggs will be more deli
cate ifpoarched or fried in butter,but
many like the flavor that they ac
quire by being fried in the ham drip
pings or gravy.
Ginger snaps.—One cup of mo
lasses, one of sugar, one table spoon
full of ginger, four of
water, two of cinnamon, one of soda,
one teaspoonfull of salt, and flour to
mix hard. Roll thin and bake in a
hot oven.
Sponge Cake.—Five eggs, one
teacupfull of sugar, one of flour
and one tablespoonful of butter milk
and one of water, and a teaspoonful
of Horsford’s Bread Preparation.
Bake very slowly.
We take the following from Table
Talk, which will be read with inter
est :
The tablecloth white, without
embroidered centre piece, but with
initial or monorgram outlined in
gole thread.
White and gold box-shaped bas
ket, a yard in length, fifteen inches
wide and five inches high, moss and
fine green foliage, is placed in the
middle of the table. This filled with
daffodils that look as if growing in
their own garden borders. A bow of
yellow satin ribbon is on either end
of the basket. Three bands of same
ribbon, three inches wide, run diago
nally from under the basket across
the table, at the end nearest the en
trance of the room, the con er of the
cloth is gracefully caught up with long
loops and ends of ribbon. Within
the drapery of the cloth daffodils are
placed, some of the flowers resting
on the table, others seemingly falling
out at the sides.
The china, white and gold; the
candle shades of yellow silk. At each
plate a little “Dame Trot” basket in
gilt. They are nothing more nor
less than miniature market baskets,
covers lifting ejther side the handle.
These arc filled with choice confec
tionery (Chantilly creams in yellow)
and the covers tied down with bows
of the ribbon with a single daffodil,
its stem run under the handle.
Daffodils in vases and jars through
the house, and a blue Leeds bowl
filled with them gives a cheerful
greeting placed in the hall.
While these decorations read of if
they were elaborate and difficult,
they really are simple, and can be
arranged without the aid of a profes
sional decorator. It is an exceeding
ly beautiful result without much
effort. It is intended in describing
these entertainments to afford sug
gestions to be used as given or mod
ified at the pleasure of the hostess.
Embroidered table linen required to
match floral decorations can now be
furnished for the occasion in large
cities. Almost every hostess has,
either as gifts from friends or from
her own work, treasures in table
napery that she can substitute, and
take great pride in using.
DAFFODIL LUNCH.
Pate de Fois Gras, Garnished with
Aspic Jelly.
White Radishes.

DAY BY DAY.
With staff and shoon I journey,
Uphi’.' the way I take.
Past many a tangled thicket,
O’ergrown with briar and brake,
And oit my feet are weary,
And oft iny steps are slow,
Butlday by bay I'm nearer
The land to which I go.
The foes who hate my Master
Have spread the path with snares,
In hope to stay my progress
And catch mo unawares.
But ever to my spirit
New' light and strength are given,
For never hosts of evil
Shall bar my road to heaven.
Far worse than all temptations
That lure me from without
Are gruesome clouds and terrors
That compass me about.
Dear Lord, thine eye can measure
The strife of fears within,
And thou can guide me safely,
Unscathed by shame or sin.
With staff and shoon I journey
And still before mine eyes,
The Lord who goes before mo
Holds up a radiant prize.
And though 1 faint and falter,
I yet shall overcome,
And win with saints and angels.
The endless rest at home.
And sweet it is when tired
Because the way is long,
To pause beside a milestone
And lift a pilgrim's song;
For who shall lose his courage,
However steep the way,
Who with the Lord to help him
Fares onward day by day ?
—M, E. Sangstbr.
A STORY—FOR ALL TIME,
t “I wish you would take this pack
age to the village for me, Jim,” he
said, hesitatingly. Now, I was a
boy of twelve, not fond of work, and
was just out of the hayfield where I
had been since early morning. I
was tired, dusty and hungry. It was
two miles to town. I wanted to get
my supper and wash and dress for
singing-school. My first impulse
was to grumble, for I was vexed that
he should ask after my long day’s
work. But if I refused he would go
himself. He was a gentle, patient
old man. And something stopped
of God’s angels, I think.
“Os course, father, I’ll take it,” I said,
heartily. He gave me the package.
“Thank you, Jim, I was going my
self, but somehow I don’t feel very
strong to-day.” He walked with me
to the road that turned off to the
town. As he left he put his hand
on my arm, saying again, “Thank
you, my son, you’ve always been a
good boy to me, Jim.”
I hurried to town and back. When
I came near the house I saw a crowd
of farm hands at the door. One of
them came to me, tears rolling down
his face. “Your father,” he said,
“fell dead just as he reached the
house. The last words he spoke
were of you.” lam an old man now,
but have thanked God over and over
in all the years since that hour, that
those last words to me were:—
“You’ve always been a good boy to
me.” No human being ever was
sorry for love or kindness shown to
others. But there is a bitter remorse
in remembered neglect or coldness
to loved ones who are dead. Do
not begrudge kind deeds and words,
especially to those about the same
hearth. It is such a little way we
can go together. He is richest of
all who is most generous in giving
love that blossoms continually in
kind words and deeds.—Home and
Farm.
A BRAVE NEWSBOY,
An interesting incident was rela
ted by a Presbyterian clergyman at
the late Binghamton, N. Y., Sabbath
Convention. It appears that a
Christian family highly esteemed, in
a Western New York village, re
moved, about two years ago, to Mich
igan. Guy, an industrious, conscien
tious lad of this family, wishing to
become helpful to his parents, w’as
hired by the publisher of a leading
paper to sell the daily issues in that
town. After the bargain had been
made, he was told that he would be
expected to sell on Sunday as well
as week days. This he had not ta
ken into the account, and it troubled
him exceedingly. He was very anx
ious to have the situation, but he
could not see how he could spend
his Sabbaths in that way.
He appealed to his parents, who
very wisely told him “to think the
matter over,” knowing that the prin
ciples which they had inculcated
would lead him to a correct decision.
At first he thought of hiring another
boy, to do the Sunday work, but as-
ter a little thought concluded this
would not be right. Finally he de
termined to give up the position al
gether, and so informed the editor of
the paper.
“I can’t w-ork on Sunday,” said
Guy.
“O,” replied the editor, “I used to
feel so, too, but now we all work on
Sunday, and you had better continue
with this.”
“No,” he firmly answered, “If I
must sell papers on Sunday, I’ll stop
altogether.”
This noble stand taken by the
young lad must have caused his em
ployer to think of earlier days, and,
perhaps, of his own mother, for he
soon responded:
“You need not give up your posi
tion. Keep it and I promise you I’ll
stop printing a Sunday edition of my
paper.”
Guy went away delighted, of
course, and the editor has kept his
word, although his paper has a large
circulation. That is what a boy
may accomplish.
SELF-RELIANCE IN YOUTH.
Youth is commonly regarded as a
period of dependence. Its lack of
wide and thorough knowledge,its im
maturity of physical and mental pow
ers, its natural deference to age and
authority, all seem to invest it with a
certain insufficiency, a state of weak
ness and subordination, quite out of
keeping with the idea of self-reliance.
And yet at no period of life is this
strong and manly virtue of self-reli
ance more fitting and desirable. It is
one of the finest qualities of youthful
character; and when we behold it in
a young person, the thought farthest
from our minds is that it is in any
sense unbecoming or out of place.
The truth is, that self-reliance does
not depend upon the qualities with
which w-e are most apt to identify it
—upon these matured powers of mind
and body w hich gives us the impres
sion of strength upon knowledge, or
experience, or the authority of age.
It depends, rather,upon certain other
qualities which are pre-eminent in
youth—upon youth, clearness or
moral preception, sincerity and self
respect. Self-reliance is an inherent
virtue. It does not come to us as an
acquisition consequent upon the cul
tivation or developement of other
qualities or powers. We do not grow
into it, but it grows in us. Therefore
this intrinsic virtue exists jujt as
truly in the beginnings of moral and
spiritual life, as does in that life when
it becomes more mature and deter
minate. In fact,self-reliance is more
apt to be strong and vital while those
youthful qualities of courage, clear
ness of moral perception, sincerity
and self-respect remain freshest and
most unvitiated.
To have the consciousness of right,
and to abide by it, firmly, manfully,
in spite of all ridicule, in spite of all
contrary example; to so trust in one’s
individual relation to God and free
access to His Spirit that nothing can
overcome the clear convictions formed
within—this is to be self-reliant; and
it is a virtue which becomes youth,
and may well be sought by every
young person as one of the crowning
attributes of character.
Do not be afraid, young man or
young woman, to stand forth bravely
unflinchingly, for what seems to you
right and true. No one has a better
guarantee than you of the genuine
ness and trustworthiness of your mor
al convictions. To none does God
whisper truth in the soul more clearly
and directly than to the young person
who stands on the threshold of the
spiritual life. Listen to His voice ;
obey its promptings, and turn not
aside from the path of your convic
tions, though all the world should con
front you and dispute you right of
moral passage.—Zion’s Herald.
Mr. Jas. E. Clark, Wilson, N. C.,
says: Have given Bradyerotine a
good trial for past eight months, and
it has never failed to give me relief if
taken in time ; besides its effects are
pleasant.
