Japan is before us this month for special prayer and study and we will not prayerfully consider the subject long before w« conclude that the greatest need is men to do direct evangelistic work among the people. Those of us who had the privilege of hearing Mr. Bennet of the Ameri can Baptist Missionary Union, as he stood in the place of our brethren Brunson and McCollum, told of the noble work they are doing in the is land of Kinshin, with its nine mil lions of people and plead for eight men to reinforce them this year, felt our hearts stirred to greater effort and prayer that one hundred mission aries ipay not be wanting and that eight or ten be sent to Japan. We found ourselves asking the question, “Where are these men to come from?” We have only one appoint ed to Japan as yet. Are they grad uating from the Seminary this year ? Surely some of them are to be found there, may many of them, for since there is a minister for every eight hundred in the United States, those just entering the ministry will seek a wider field. It seemed strange to us that with all the missionary en thusiasm displayed in Atlanta, with the number of young men present there were so few saying, “Here am I, send me.” We heard some urg ing others to go, but young people with apparently no hindrance in their way are subjecting themselves to adverse criticism and injuring the cause by urging others. It is only those who are ready to be sent whose appeals come with convincing power. Shall not the young people of the South take up this question of persona] responsibility for the hea then ? Take it up each for himself and determine not whether he is called to go but is he called to stay at home. Each one can lay the matter in the Lord’s hands by say ing, “I am willing and desirous, God permitting, to be a foreign missiona ry.” Solemnly, earnestly, let it be done and then if He wants us for that service He will show us the the way. Let us pray the Lorcf of the har vest that eight men for Japan may speedily be found. Walter Briggs, of Athens, Tenn, writes: “For six years I had been afflicted with running sores and an enlargement of the bone in my leg. I tried everything I heard without any permanent benefit until Botanic Blood Balm was recommended to me. After using six bottles the sores healed, and I am now in better health than I have ever been. I send this testimonial unsolicited, because I want others to be benefitted.” (Cite goueeltaXd. HEART'S HUNGER. We let them be just for a little while. tv e cannot bear to put them yet away— The vacant high chair of a little child. The torn hatbut worn the other day. Or the low footstool where our dear one’s feet Had rested, or the father’s easy chair. That never more will hold the manly form— vv e let them stand, the room would look too bare. We gaze out in the waning, fading light, Ihe books and music mock us in the room; Our hearts are with that new-made grave iu the night, All dark and shadow haunted in the gloom. God pity those who wait iu vain to hear The sound of feet that ne’er will tread again; Or long to kiss white faces hid away. In their deep beds beneath the snow and rain. The wind from out the harp of nature chants A dirge above them as it passes by; The dead leaves, tears of autumn, sadly fall Upon our sleeping ones, as still they lie. Oh I ye who never o’er dead loved oges wept, Who ne’er kissed cold hands and faces white, And held out empty arms and hearts to God, Can never know the pain we feel to night. —San Francisco Examiner A HOME-MADE REFRIGERATOR. AN ECONOMICAL DEVICE THAT AN SWERS EVERY PURPOSE. Now that ice is furnished at such reasonable rates country house keepers have ceased to consider it a luxury. But oftentimes a woman who needs this help to summer housekeeping is prevented for lack of a refrigerator. The patent ones are expensive, and more or less troublesome. Without the greatest care there is always a close, musty smell about them, which makes one hesitate to put in them such absor bent food as milk and butter. As the writer has used a home made ice-box for several years she would like to give her readers the benefit of her experience, with direc tions for making this most satis factory article. It was built directly on the sandy cellar bottom and was really nothing more than two square boxes, one about a foot smaller than the other, with the space between packed with sawdust. Each box had a hinged cover. The ice was placed on a rack at the bottom of the inner box, whence as it slowly melted the water sank into the soil. This inner box was so arranged that the shelves might be placed at differ ent heights, according to the amount of ice. On these shelves the food was placed, and the only inconvenience of the whole arrangement came when fresh ice must be put in. Then a part or all of the shelves had to be taken out, but this had to be done far less often than in an ordinary re frigerator, as the ice wasted very slowly. The air in the box was al ways pure and sweet, and the food was kept at a lower temperature than in most ice boxes. Enough simple board shelves were provided, so that one.set could be scrubbed and dried in the open air each week. —Chicago Times. HOW JULIA WARD HOWE AMUSED HER OHILD. Sometimes our mother would give us a party,—a delightful affair, with charades, or magic lantern, or some thing of the kind. Here is an ac count of one, written by our mother herself, in a letter to her sister: “I have written a play, for our doll theater, and performed it yes terday afternoon, with great success. It occupied nearly an hour. I had alternately to grunt and [squeak the parts, while Chev played the puppets.” (“Chev” was the name by which she always called our father; it was an abbreviation of “Chevalier,” for he was always to her the “knight without reproach or fear.”) “The effect was really extremly good. The spectators were in a dark room and the little theater, lighted by a lamp from the top, looked very pretty.” This may been the play of “Beauty and the Beast,” of which the manuscript is unhappily lost. I can recall but one passage: But bethought on “Beauty’s flower, And he popped into a bower. And he plucked the fairest rose That grew beneath his nose. I remember the theater well, and thepupets. They were quite un earthly in their beauty, all except the “Beast,” a strange furcovered monstrosity. The “Prince” was gilded in a moet enchanting manner, and his mustache curled with an ex pression of royal pride. I have seen no other prince like him. All this was at Green Peace; but many as are the associations with her beloved presence there, it is at the Valley that I most constantly picture our mother. She loved the Valley more than any other place on earth, I think, so it is always pleasant to fancy her there. Study formed always an important part of her life. It was her delight and recreation, when wearied with household cares, to plunge into German metaphysics, or into the works of the Latin poets, whom she greatly loved.—Laura E. Richards, in June St. Nicholas. Beecham’s Pills sell well because they cure. THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY, JUNE 9. 1892 TENNIS OAKES. A dainty fancy for lawn party luncheons are tennis cakes. These are large cakes of any rich variety; pound cakes with citron in it is es pecially nice. A good white cake flavored with bitter almonds is also excellent for this purpose. A thick, snow-white icing covers the cake, and it is wreathed on the edge with a laurel crown, the leaves formed of candied angelica and limes, and the berries of red cherries. Quarters of candied oranges are also used to decorate the wreath. Two small racquets of ivory-white sugar, hold, ing three silver tennis balls, their handles crossed, decorate the centre of the cake. A decorator skilful in the use of confectioners’ tubes might sketch on the cake other appropriate ornaments with pink sugar, though it is very effective left pure white in side the laurel wreath, with no other decorations save the crossed rac quets. (jJliildrrn** SABBATH SUNSET. ’Twas evening, while the slanting ray Made roofs all gold anil streets all gloom; Site rested at the close of day. Her heart in peace, in peace her room. And gently fell upon the calm 1 he old cathedral’s evening chime, Making her soul a silent paslm, Like some unspoken poet’s rhyme. She rose to see the quiet sky, As called by some celestial lips. And lo! the glden gates on high Revealed a John s Apocalypse. Opened by God’s almighty hand lo eyes that have the heart to see, She gazes on that blissful land Which gives to time, eternity. The lowing kine upon the mead, I he swallows in the sunny air. The creataires-which on matter teed; See not heaven's gate in vision there. Within her, thoughts eternal glow, Eternal love breaks into prayer; Her room, the world, the street below, Her new and vast compassions share. Will all life’s days so fAirly close— m that street where shadows lie ? Will they but fall in death’s repose lo wake to heaven’s Epiphany ? The sick, the weary, and the podr, '’lutdly seek thy living street, ” ill 1 ’? y 11 9 tbUt mansion door, The place where want and fullness meet ? She prayed, O painter of the land, ror which all men and ages wait! Grant that ollr tribes at last may stand Within its everlasting gate. A VISIT FROM HELEN KELLER. Helen came one afternoon with Miss Sullivan and Miss Marrett, another teacher in the school, and also one of our graduates. In the evening, the students were all invited into the drawing-room to meet the visitors and to see what wonders have been done for this once helpless child. She stood with her arm about Miss Sullivan’s neck, a tall child for her age, with a very bright and smiling face. As the different girls came up to meet her, Miss Sullivan repeated their names to Helen by means of the deaf-and-dumb alphabet, and Helen spoke to them. You ask how can that be? , One of the most marvelous things of all is, that she has learned to articulate. Think of it! She has never heard a human voice in her life. Os course, her articulation is very imperfect; but when she speaks slowly, one can understand quite well what he says. Her teachers think that in a year or two her utter ance will be perfectly distinct. Her voice is necessarily peculiar, and listening to its monotonous tones, one can better appreciate how im portant hearing is to modulation and expression. About thirty girls were introduced to her, for each of whom she had a pleasant word. I think in no one case did she forget a name. She felt of the faces, hair, and dress, learning each ’feature, while every personal peculiarity seemed firmily fixed in her mind. Some of the girls told her they had recently been to Concord and Lexington, whereupon Helen began to describe her viiyt there. She spoke of the hills about Concord looking like “beautiful clouds;” and said that the “bending trees were there, the folding ferns among the grass, and the fairies and wood-elves whispering among the violets.” She said she visited the Alcotts’ house, and could well imagine “Jo, sitting by the window, writing: Amy, near by, drawing; and sweet Beth sewing; while Meg and Mr. Brooke were merrily chatting to gether.” Some one mentioned “The Minute- Man.” Mr. French’s statute, mark ing the famous battle-ground at Con cosd; and. Helen cried eagerly, “Yes! and ‘fired the shot heard round the world!’ ” quoting from Emerson’s beautiful ode, the first lines of which have been inscribed upon the pedestal of the statue: By the rude bridire that arched the flood, . Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled, Hence once the embattled famous stood. And fired the shot heard round the world! Soon she added, “Isn’t it dreadful for men to kill each other ?’ But I think it is good not to be afraid of death, and to be ready to fight for one’s country. My father wouldn’t be afraid to die; he fought in the Rebellion.” Helen is a rather pretty child, and has perfect manners. She is very affectionate, and seems devotedly at tached to Miss Sullivan. Every few minutes she would caress her, with a loving smile; and she seems to have a similar affection for all her friends. She has great tact, and has that in nate refinement of word and action which it is so delightful to see. She has been doing a beautful work of charity. She owned a fine mastiff last winter, which died, and the loss made her quite sad. Some friends raised three hundred dollars, and sent it to her as a gift with which to buy another dog. In the mean time Helen heard of a boy, five years old, Tommy Strenger, who also was blind and deaf. Her tender sympathy was aroused, and she im mediately decided to use her money for Tommy’s needs. But the yearly expense for one person at the Insti tute is more than twice as much money as Helen had. Quite confi dent of success, the little girl wrote letters to nine newspapers, each dif ferently expressed, stating Tommy’s needs. As a consequence many sub scriptions were sent to Helen, and Tommy has now been an inmate of the asylum for a year or more. In telling us of Tommy, she said, “When he was a little baby, his dear mama died, and then he was sick, and the light went out of his eyes, and the hearing from his ears. Now he has come to be educated. And by and by,” she added, “when he knows-more words, he will un destand what a wonderful thing lan guage is, and how education brings music and love to body and soul.” It is difficult to realize that such words are from the lips of a child not then twelve years old.—June St. Nicholas. A LITTLE STORY. Dear Children I want to tell you an amusing little story that I read years and years ago when I was a little girl. It was published in the Index. Often have I re peated it to little folks who have begged me to “please tell them a story.” “In a far off land—so the story goes—There was a King who was very rich and he had ai most lovely daughter. This King was so very fond of hearing stories told, that he finally made a decree that if any subject of his could tell a story that would never end, he would give him the half of his own kingdom, and his lovely daughter for his wife. In case however the story came to an end; the teller thereof should loose his life. Many came and be gan their story, but alas! the end would come sometime. At last a young prince who loved the young princess decided to try. He was warned of the fate of others. Thus he began. “Once there was a great King, who was warned that a great famine was coming. The King de cided it would be wise to make pre paration for the day of calamity, so he had a great granary built, and stored with corn. The granary was then fastened securely. Now it happened that the builders had left a very small hole in the top or side of the gramary. By and by a drove of locusts came by. They spipd this hole and decided to help themselves. “So one locust went in and got a grain of corn, and then another locust went in and got a grain of corn, and then another locust went in and got a, grain of corn, and then another locust went in and got a grain of corn.” This mo notonous story went on several days when the King exclaimed. Have done with your missible locusts and proceed with your story. How can loh King! when I have only begun ? The locust have only made a begining. “And then another lo cust. “Away with your locust cried the King! Take my kingdom, my daughter! but let me hear no more of the locust. And so 1 suppose the young princes and princess were married and lived happy ever after. So ends the story. But dear children, There is a Great and Good King who lov ing his subjects and knowing that a time of great desolatioh is coming, has prepared splendid Mansions and great provisions for their every joy. He loves to hear a story, and has invited you and me to tell one for Him. It is the sweet story of the Cross. It is a story begun in the eternal world and one that will never end, “The Old Old Story of Jesus and His Love.” Do you love to tell it? Begin now in your youth to love this sweet Saviour and then how gladly you will tell it to those around you. What a precious Saviour to leave the splendid courts of Heaven and come to die on the cross for you and me. I wonder how many of the children who read “The Childrens Corner” have al ready given their hearts to Jesus. You can each be a young soldier to tell this sweet story and fight bat tles for your King.

DISTANCES TO WASHINGTON. From St. Louis to Washington the distance is 894 miles, from Cincinna ti to Washington 553 miles; from Chicago to Washington 813 miles. This is via the bee line followed by the B. & O. railroad, the most pict uresque as well as the most direct route from the Mississippi River to the. Atlantic Seaboard, stretching across level and fertile prairie, amid hills and valleys, over mountain crests, along banks of historic rivers through teeming cities and bustling towns. Through B. <& O. trains, with full Pullman equipment of Sleeping, Parlor and Buffet cars, run rom St. Louis to Washington in 20 hours, from Cincinnati to Washing ton 18 hodrs; from Chicago to Wash ihgton in 25 hours. Sleepers from all points run through to New York from the West without change. At Washington connection is made with the B. & O.’s matchless Royal Blue Line for Baltimore, Philadel phia and New York. These Royal Blue trains consist of the staunches and finest Coaches, Parlor and Sleep ing cars ever built by the Fullman Company; are vestibuled from end, and are protected by Pullman’s im proved anti-telescoping device, which makes every car as safe as it can be made by man’s ingenuity and skill. All the cars are heated by steam and lighted by Pintsch gas. They are the fastest trains in the world, placing New York and Wash ngtor within five hours reach. E?D E" E?
