LIFE MORE ABUNDANT.
Miss Annabel YVeigle, one of I
our first deaconesses died on
May 31st m St. Louis. Mo.
Her illness and death were Mid

hearts. In February she enter
ed settlement work at the Neid
ringhaus Social Settlement in
St. Lauis, an institutic n of the
M. E. church. Miss Weigle
was a graduate of the Chicago
Training School, class of 1900.
Her pastor writes: “She was a
great soul, and though with us
but a short time, we came to
love her for what she was.
THE 1 8 TH ANNUAL REPORT.
This report has been issued.
Our cordial thanks is due our re
cording secretary, Mrs. Frank
vSiler, for a beautiful record of a
year's beautiful work. This I
book has gone forth to a large
constituency who own allegiance
to the Woman's Home Mission
Society. How has it been wel-1 re- J
ceived? Was it eagerly
corned, carefully read and stud
ied? Is it kept close at hand for
constant reference? Or was it
carelessly thrown aside with
perchance but a brief survey of
those pages teeming with vital |
facts and each epoch making
events in the history of the So
ciety?
“SICK, AND YE visited ME NOT.
in This Home significant fact column appeared in |
a Mission
one of our Advocates recently:
The banner auxiliary of the
Conference Home Mission
ciety has 116 members. So far
as membership is concerned
have nothing to compare with
that in the entire conference,
The Society raised $ 1,3 50.98
last year. This is fine, and
again we have nothing worthy
°f comparison with it. Yet
notice a thing which, if one may
be pardoned for criticizing, it is
a defect in the working of the
auxiliaiy. There are reported
only 179 visits to the sick, Less
than an average of two visits a
year for the membership."
Financial gifts are important
—the gift of self is supreme.
HUNTING FOR THE
MAILED SAURIANS.
Hunting crocodiles in the
West Indies by night is exciting
sport. The hunter is paddled
around the lagoons after dark
by a negro crew in a “dugout”
canoe with a bright bull’s eye
lantern tied by a band around
his forehead. By slowly mov
ing his head from side to side,
he can make the light search all
the surface of the water.
Suddenly a bright spark i is
seen about twenty yards away.
It is the eye of the crocodile with
the light of the lantern reflected
in it. The light must be held
steadily upon it, and the canoe
paddled cautiously toward the

Messenger,

Up comes the rifles to the
sholder, and when as close as it
is judged safe to go without
scaring the quarry, the trigger
is pulled, and, if the aim has
been good, the report is follow
ed by the noise of the great
beast clashing its jaws and wal
lowing around m the mud and
water in its death-throes.
The hunter waits until it is
quiet, and then approaches very
cautiously. He makes very
sure that it is dead, for a single
blow with its great tail can
break a man’s leg, and a bite
from its hideous jaws might be
fatal.
As soon as it is dead, a rope
[ s slung around it, its body is
dragged ashore, and the head
and skin are taken off and car
r i e d home as trophies of a nights
adventure in the tropics.
Taken With Cramps.
Wm. Kirrnse, a member of the
I bridge gang working near Little
port was taken suddenly ill Thurs
day night with cramps and a kind
cholera. His case was so se
that he had to have the mem

Mr. Clifford was called and
He told them he had a

of Mr. Clifford’s medicines, El
