human’s 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. ©hi? 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.

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.
