In this Centennial year the attention is fixed on the beginning of missions; all turn with reverence to the little cobbler’s shop in Eng land, where in the heart of Carey, the glorious thought of foreign mis sions unfolded and blossomed; all review with grateful appreciation his labors at Serampore; but we American Baptists hasten on, unsat- i isfied, till at the thought of Burma and the name of Judson our' hearts thrill with peculiar emotion. Our beginnings were here. 2. Has any age or any land ever furnished such examples of heroism as are found in the lives of Ann Haseltine and ' Adoniram Judson? When we con trast the Burma of 1813, —dark, cruel, totally heathen, —with the Burma of today, with its 139 mis- | sionaries, 191 schools, 11,607 pupils, 550 Churches, 610 native preachers, 30,253 members, is not our interest in this field further stimulated by I such wonderful success? 4. Then i the fact that “no evangelical work of any amount is carried on in that country except by American Bap- \ lists,” commands our eager interest i not only as onlookers, but as intelli gent co-worker. 11. Burma, a part of the British possessions lying east of the Bay of j Bengal, is about three times as large as Minnesota, and has a population j of about 8,000,000. The people re- i present 42 different races, including I immigrants from India and China. Buddhism is the prevailing religion the caste system here is not oppessive as in India. Among so many races and tongues the work must necessar ily be divided. When Dr. Judson began work in Rangoon, in 1813, he worked for the Burmans exclusively. Working without grammar, diction ary or English-speaking teacher, in three years he completed a grammar and a tract; in four years the Gos pel of Matthew, in eleven years the .New Testament; in twenty years the whole Bible. In six years he preached his first public discourse, in seven, baptized the first Burman convert, Aloung Nau. 2. The work atnoung the Karens began like a Pentecost, and has been very suc cessful. Dr. Mason called the Bur mans the Pharisees and Sadducees; the Karens, the publicans and sin ners. Geo. Dana Boardman began his work in 1828 at Tavoy, and here was baptized the first Karen convert, Ko Thah-byu. He- is called the “Karen Apostle.” Many received the word gladly, and in 1831, after but three years labor, Mr. Boardman had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Ma son baptize thirty-four Karens. Mr, Boardman died two years after. At Bassein, on the fiftieth anniversary of the baptism of the first Karen, there was dedicated free of debt, the Ko Thah-byu Memorial Hall. This was built entirely by Karen. Chris, tians, and cost about 822,000. 3. The Shans are called the travelling traders of Burma. The Rev. AL IL Bixby began the work for them in l§60; not in the Shan States, on ac count of civil war, but at Toungoo, where were thousands of Shans. Dr. Cushing prepared a Shan grammar and the Gospel of Matthew in 1871; in 1881 a dictionary; in 1882 the New Testament, and now he has the whole Bible ready for print. The first station established in actual Shanland was at Thibau in I*9o. 4. The Kachins live in the northeastern part of Burma, bordering on China and Assam. There are about 5,000, 000, seemingly allied to the Karens, in tradition and religion, but they are lawless and wicked. The work among them was begun at Bhamo, in 1877, by Dr. Cushing. This work has been carried on largely by Ka ren preachers, supported by Bassein Karens. There have been more than fifty baptisms. 5. The Chins are in the western part of Burma, They are Buddhists, with many of the Karen superstitions. Their re ligious ceremonies are mostly to propitiate evil spirits. They believe in a Creator and Supremo Ruler, but say that be is so good that no one need fear him or worship him. 6. There are so many different races in Burma, so many attracted from India and China by higli wages, that tome work is being done for those not reached by these Missions, the old stations being centres of this work.—Ensign.

REPORT OF GEORGIA BAPTIST OR PHANS’ HOME ASSOCIATION FOB SEPT. 1892. The attendance was unsually large showing that the interest in our Baptist Home is increasing. After devotional exercises and reci tations of verses from the children, which were unusually interesting, the reports of the children in school were read and all were delighted to know that progress was being made by all the children. The highest mark in lessons being 98 and lowest 95. There was reported two more children to be adopted, these go to the same home and are brother and sister, and an application for seven children. The Home Committee reported they had bought the new range but did not have the money to buy a wa ter tank, this would cost S2O more. How much we need money to carry on the good work. The Heme was in fine order owing to the efficient work of the Home Committee of which Mrs. J. 11. James is chairman. The Wardrobe Committee report ed a nice box of clothing from W. AL S. per Mrs. ]). B. Fitzgerald, Omaha, Ga., and nineteen children clothed by individuals or societies and yet there are others. We were glad to have with us Airs. Putnam of Brunswick, Ga. The W. AL S. which she represents clothes Mattie Martin, and we feel sure she will go home to work for us with renewed zeal. Will not some one send* us coal and wood for our winter use ? We are sure there are some who can do it, will you not listen to this appeal for the fatherless? Many can send in potatoes, apples, beans, peas, dried fruit, syrup. Send us boxes or bar rels of provisions, they will be re ceived with thankfulness and make the hearts of many rejoice. The fol lowing is list of donations for the month.

Among autumn millinery, a hat of coarse heavy straw, of a deep red color, is shown, trimmed with changeable red-and-green silk, pink ed on the edge and plaited in a full ruche. A piece of the same silk is gathered up and placed on the tip of the small high crown, which is set far back, and the brim is narrow in the back and broad in front. The silk must be cut on the bias, and nine inches before it is pinked will make a wide trimming, and at least four times the length of the part to be covered must be allowed. It should be box pleated through the middle and ’fastened firmly to the hat. It is placed at the same dis tance from the edge all around, so so while it touches the crown at the back it will leave rpiite a space in front of the crown. A simple but dressy form of col larette, which may’ be worn with any style of waist, is made of ribbon about an inch and a half wide, cut in graduated lengths, and sewed to the lower edge of a collar made of the same kind of ribbon and finished at the back with a bow. Use seven strips of ribbon, the longest measur ing about nine inches, and lay a shallow plait in each at the top. Do not extend them back of the shoul der seams. Finish the upper edge of the collar with a ftdl ruche of the ribbon or of lace. A pretty ribbon-trimming for a skirt, to be set just at the edge or above a narrow plaited or gathered ruffle, is made of ribbon about three inches wide. Lay clusters of three inch plaits at intervals of two inches; then catch Lack the upper plait of one cluster at the bottom and the upper plait of the next cluster at the top, and so on alternately. It is easily arranged, dressy, and very durable. The black silk dress, which has long occupied a secondary’ place in women’s wardrobes, is said to be again coming into favor. Indeed, silk of all kinds is growing in popu lar favor. The prime favorite, just now, is bengaline, a heavy, corded silk, very similar to the old-fashion ed Irish poplin. It will be much used for combination with other ma- terials, and ranges in price from $2.25 to $3.00 a yard. The woollen goods displayed this season have never been surpassed in beauty and variety. Alajenta, a tint obsolete for many years, has again come into use, and is much employed in combination with delicate shades.of gray. The revival of the apron is one of the predictions for fall, and if Pari sian reports are true, we may soon see the dainty brocaded aprons laced with frills and ribbon trimmed, which were a regular feature of the house dress a generation ago. A pretty and inexpensive way of draping a bedroom window is to ruffle squares of dotted muslin and run them on a brass rod at the top of the lower sash, and tie them back with white or colored satin ribbon. A valance of the same material, trimmed in the same way, and with bows of the same ribbon at the ends, may be placed at the top of the win dow, if it is fastened to a strip of wood which projects far enough out from tho window to allow freedom to the shade. A pretty coat for a little girl of five years or so was made of fawn light-weight cloaking and trimmed with bands of brown astrakhan. It extends to the bottom of the dress, and the loose fronts are made close fitting at the sides by long under arm darts. It is closed at the centre of the front with brown-and-fawn mottled horn buttons. The back is close-fitting, with coat-plaits at the side-back seams. Over tho coat is worn a double cape of the same, made on a shallow yoke. With this coat is worn a fawn felt hat, trim med with loops of fawn and brown ribbon, and two brown wings placed saucily at the back. For a girl of ten a school dress was made of blue and white mixed cheviot, trimmed with plain goods matching the blue shade in the ma terial. The full round skirJ was finished with a deep hem. The waist was plain, with three forward, turning plaits at the waist-lino at at each side of the centre of the front, and three backward-turning plaits similarly arranged at each side of the closing in the back. The waist was made upon a lining. The standing collar, the cuffs on the coat sleeves, and a pointed girdle, were cut from the blue goods.—Exami - ner. CINNAMON BUN. A delicious cinnamon bun for luncheon or tea, is made from two ounces of butter, three eggs, one half cupful of yeast, one teaspoonful of salt, and one pint of milk. Put the pint of milk in a farina boiler, and when hot pour it over the eggs which should be beaten till light while the milk is heating. Add two ounces of butter, and let the mixture stand until lukewarm ; then add the yeast and salt, and stir in enough flour to make a thin batter. Beat thoroughly an continuously five minutes, cover the bowl, and stand in a warm place till morning. A cupful of flour is then added to the sponge, and when it is well beaten stir in enough flour to make a soft dough. Add the flour a little at a time, and work it in with the hand. Take out on the bread board, and knead quickly and lightly for ten minutes. The dough is not as stiff as that for bread. Put into the bowl, cover, and stand till very light in a very warm place. Take out half tho dough, roll it into a thin sheet, rolling from tho center toward the edges. Spread with butter, then sprinkle with dried currants and cin namon. Roll tightly in a long roll, and cut into pieces about two inches long. Place the buns tightly to gether in a greased pan, the cut side up, and stand in a warm place cover ed until very light. Bake in a mod erate oven half an hour, and take out the pan and separate while hot. Use tho remaining part of the dough in the same way as the first’—Select ed. To make a nice rico pudding, take a quarter of a pound of rice, and boil in a pint of milk until quite thick. If it should get too dry add some more milk. Beat half a pound of butter to a cream, add ono by one the yolks of eight eggs, a quar ter of a pound of sugar, the grated peel of half a lemon, and the rice, which must be cold. Finally add the whites of the eggs, beaten to a stiff snow. Bake in a buttered mold, and turn out in a cake plate. Serve warm with a fruit sauce.—Exami ner. It is well, an exchange remarks, to plough gardens twice in the fall. The first time should be as early as crops can be cleared from them, so as to destroy weeds. The second should be just before freezing weather, turning up the ridges and leaving it rough, so as to expose as much as possible to the weather. On these ridges some of the earliest crops may be sown or planted with out further ploughing, in fact,Jbefore the land is dry enough to allow the tramping of heavy teams. It is thus that tho earliest crops of green peas are grown. The land for later-sown vegetables can be cultivated down to a mellow tilth, and except possi bly for roots that run deep, such spring cultivation will fit fall-plough ed land for seeding better than will a spring ploughing, which will turn under the mellow surface soil.—Ex aminer. Aiken, S. C., Sept. 19, 1890. The Electropoise has worked won ders in my household. I introduced it to Airs. Cuthbert last Alarch as a remedy for rheumatism, and since thed she has laid aside stick and crutches and is able to attend to all of her household duties. Another of my family by using it is better than she has ever been, and I myself find it an admirable tonic when tired out after three services on the Sabbath. Several parties have in vested in this instrument because of our experience and expression of opinion. Very gratefully, Rev. Lucius Cuthbert. (Garner On the North Sea. Sailing out on the sea at the close of tho day. When the glow of the sunset is fading away. When forms grow dim in tho dying light, I stand on tho deck in tho purple night. I have sobbed with anguish the long, long day. For the way of God did not seem my way; I have struggled against that mighty will, But night has cornu and my heart is still. Oh, the gentle waves, passing softly by! Oh, the stars coming out in the twilight sky! Oh, the stately ships, with their lanterns bright. Green, golden and red, through the purple nightl And tho waves are whispering, soft and low, "Take rest; go to sleep, and lorget thy Woe!" It is God’s own voice on the sea tonight; “Fear not the darkness; I am tho Light!” And my wild, wild sorrow is hushed to rest, I feel that whatever may come will be best; It is God’a own love that, will guide my way, I can sleep in peace; it will soon be day. —Anna Baadsgaard in Christian Inquirer. A CHRISTIAN HERO. HE LAYS DOWN HIS LIFE FOR A FRIEND AND IS HIMSELF MIRACU LOUSLY SAVED. There are heroes in every class of life; many a name unnoticed and un known to fame is yet written in the Book of Life, enrolled in the noble army of martyrs who have laid down their lives for others for his sake who died for them. Such a hero was Alichaol Verran, a splendid specimen and true type a Christian Cornish miner. From a boy he had lived and worked in the dark mines, but he had learned to lisp the name of Je sus at his mother’s knee, and the dark galleries and levels of the mine did not hinder his having an abiding I sense of the Savior’s presence. One day in his full manhood he was engaged with two others sink ing a shaft. They had bored a hole in the usual way for blasting and according to the rule one of the | three had ascended the shaft, leaving ■ the others to finish the preparation I for firing the charge. Tho hole was filled with powder ! ami securely tamped, and all that . was left to do was cut the | fuse and then for one man to as ’ cend the shaft and let down the buck- I et for the last, so that ho who fired I the fuse might have time to be drawn up to the surface before the charge should explode. Alichaol and his companion had become familiar with danger. They were careless; and while the fuse was attached to the charge, they set | to work to cut it through with a stone and an iron drill. In doing it the [ iron gave out a spark, and in a second tho hissing of the fuse told them I that in a few moments the charge j would explode. Both dashed to tho shaft, and j holding onto the bucket, gave sig- I nal to bo drawn up; but alas! the I strength of the man at the widdlass was not equal to lifting two; he could wind up only one man at a time. To remain was death to both, and it was Alichael Verran’s turn to as cend. lie looked at his companion, stepped from the bucket and quietly said: “Escape, lad, for thy life; I shall be in heaven in a minute.” Swiftly the bucket ascended, and the man saved leaned over the pit’s mouth and listened—listened for what? For the great roar and boom that told him of the sudden destruc tion of the brave comrade who had given up life to save him. L’p came the smoko and rubbish, blinding and sickening. There could be no doubt of the miner’s fate, close shut against that fearful hole. Yet down they hurried, and among the scattered blocks of rock at the bottom of the shaft they shouted in faltering tones his name, “Alichaol! Alichaol! where arc you?” And the strong answer came, “Thank God, I am here!” Eager hands dragged away tho rubbish and rock, and there un derneath a huge slab of stone t hat had blown across him, and lodging against the end of the shaft protect ed him from all the rest, they found him safe; not a scrath upon him nor his clothes torn. He had sat himself down in the corner of his rocky prison, placed a shield of rock before his eyes and commended his soul in prayer to God, and the God who cared for Daniel in his rocky dungeon had delivered him and saved him from death. For years he lived to tell of God’s goodness to him, and to lead others by his example to the Savior, and then they laid him in the quiet coun try churchyard where the long grass now waves over his sleeping place. But his name still lives in the hearts of the simple Cornish miners; his heroism is still remembered by maid en anti stripling, who have learned his story from the aged folk who liv ed in the time when the brave, good fellow gave himself up to die for his friend and comrade in the bottom of the pit shaft. “Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for bis friend.”—Christian at Work. AN AWFUL STORY. There was once an awful little girl who had an “awful” to every thing. She had an awful house in an awful village, which was an aw ful distance from every other awful place. She went to an awful school, where she had an awful teacher; who gave her awful lessons out of awful books. Every day she was so awful hungry that she ate an awful amount of food so that she looked awful healthy. Iler hat was awful small and her feet were awful large. When she took an awful walk she climed awful hills, and when she got awful tired she sat down under an awful tree to rest herself. In summer she was awful hot, and in winter awful cold. When it did not rain there was an awful drouth, and when the awful drouth was over there was an awful rain. If this lit tle girl does not get rid of this vul gar way of saying “awful” about everything, I am afraid she will come to an awful end—Selected. READY BEFOREHAND. “What are you doing now? I never saw a girl that was so continually finding something to do!” “I’m only going to sew a button on my glove.” “Why, you are not going out, are you?” “Oh, no! I only like to get things ready beforehand; that’s all.” And this little thing that had been persisted in by Rose Hammond un til it had become a fixed habit, sav ed her more trouble than she herself had any idea of; more time, too. Heady beforehand try it. As sure ly as you do, faithfully, you will nev er relinquish it for the slipshod, time-enough-when-it’s-wanted way of doing. -Selected.

It Is Found tn Obeying God’s Law M Taught by the Gospel of Christ. I will walk at liberty, for I seek thy precepts.—Psalms cxix, 45. This is a profound saying, a stroke of inspiration which leads this Hebrew psalmist to lay bare the secret of all liberty, and by contrast the root of all bondage, in the soul of man. He per ceives that there is a wide reaching, a universal divine law; he perceives that sorrow and pain and bonds come from violation of that law, and then he grasps the happy truth that by obedience to it we become free. At least twenty-five centuries have passed away since this sentence was written, but the world has not got beyond the truth of it, and it cannot, for that truth is eternal free dom by conformity to divine law. This is the great principle enshrined in the text. Liberty, freedom, enlargement, are found in obedience to God’s law. There is a noble confidence in the psalmist's words. He knew perfectly well that the service of God might cost him'much. Already he had endured affliction be cause of well doing, and yet he has such trust in God that he is persuaded that day by day, ever increasingly, he should walk a free man, at liberty because he sought the divine precepts. The human idea of liberty, pushed to thfe extreme, is this: Let the law die; anarchy is free dom. The divine idea is obey. Great peace have they that love God’s law, and nothing shall offend them! The words of the text anticipate one of the wisest sayings of a heathen teach er, who declared that “to serve the gods was to reign.” Probably our judgment Is convinced. We see plainly that to obey is to be free, but, alas, there is a practical difficulty—a chasm before us which we cannot ourselves bridge over. We are in this dismal case, that while we are persuaded that to serve God is good we do not love his law, and we cannot obey it. There are those who, partially awakened, have resolutely set out on the way of well doing; they are grieved to find that it is a bondage to them; the conscience and (the bent of) the heart are not at one. Where does help lie? There is but one answer, and that answer is, the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This gracious Saviour does not come to see us free from the law of obedience (to do that would be to put at defiance the govern ment of God), but he comes to save us from the final consequences of our sin. He comes to pardon, to strengthen us by his spirit, to shed abroad the love of God in our hearts. He begins by freely for giving, and thus putting away that sense of guilt which is to those who feel it a fetter upon the soul, and this forgiveness is obtained by that cross which is the supreme manifestation at once of the righteousness and love of God. That victorious cross conquers the old repug nance, breaks down the enmity, brings a new atmosphere unto our spirit, so that we begin jxujove what God loves and to hate what he hates. We walk at liberty, for we seek his precepts. The Christian man comes to see, not only that God’s will is right, but further, that it is blessed.—From a Sermon by Rev. E. Aledley in Christian Inquirer. The palate is almost tickled with Scott’s Emulsion of cod liver oil. The stomach knows nothing about it—it does not trouble you there.
