what Hoke Smith did to Clark Howell

'success, and the people went wild with
enthusiasm when Hoke skinned Clark.

WOMAN'S HOME
* %Cast thy bread upon the waters,
Waft it on with praying breath,
- In some doubtful moment
1t may save some soul from death.”
The Woman’s Home Mission
Society was called to its field of
action in 1886, by the general
conference.
What have we done? What
are we doing? :
The civilization of our United
States has been markedly demo
cratic and christian, but the con
ditions that confront us at be
ginning of the twentieth century
calls the church of God toaggres
sive action. |
© WHY? -
The rapid influx of foreigners
brings a new responsibility.
Not a third of them are afiiliated}
with any religious organization‘
whatever. Italians, Cubans, Bo
hemians and Hungarians for the
most part form the poor, igno
rant classes with their debased
form of religion, and are to be
found by the thousands ia Tex
as, W¢st Virginia, Louisiana,
Florida and California, while the
very social dregs of Europe are
crowding our eastern cities, with
a teandency to undermine our
civilization and corrupt our chil
dren. Dear friends; a golden
harvest is at our door.
& & :
Again, eight million negroes,
God’s special trust to us, from
our forefathers, who by God's
help brought them from a state
of savagery to where they now
are, atill ask that we do our part
as our fathers did of old. Shall
we rally to the call, or instead
suffer the increase of negro
slums in our fair Southland?
*
Loook one moment on our rural
district and mountain people who
await that broadening of their
opportunities, that culture of
mind and heart that will fit them
for the service of our Master, of
whom they have dimly heard.
What message does God seek to
deliver to those people through
us? Let us listea to that still,
small voice and obey, for many
are the sorrows of sins to which
oanly women can minister.
Sister, does it include you?

In 1892 the Educational de-l
