To the Officers and Members of the Wo man's Foreign Missionary Society: After another year of association to- j abundant efforts for Him, * "ether as a society of handmaidens of the Lord, for the purpose of assisting in the spreading of the gospel to our heathen sisters, far away from the light so lavishly dispensed upon us, we meet this evening to pour out the offerings that have fallen from time to time into our mite boxes, and to send them out upon the errand to which they have been dedicated. May our Father be attentive to the many prayers which have accompanied the cents as they have been given to Him, and let them be used where they will most contribute to 11 is glory and the advancement of His kingdom. It has been thought best that, as some of our band of ladies here present are not with us regularly at our month ly meetings, it might be well to review the duties of members of our societies, and say something of our work on this occasion. Briefly, then: When we remember that only about ten years ago was there any organized work among heathen women, and that ■ the custom of their country forbids their mingling with the world outside | of their homes, and that the Christian missionary is not admitted there, we can see that it was only an occasional crumb of the “bread of life which reached an individual among them, starving though they were, until their more blessed sisters rose up in their | sympathy for them and sent out their numbers to carry them a portion of the | plenty they enjoyed. Then it was that the Methodist women, through our be ll loved President, Mrs. Hayes, petitioned | the general conference to allow us wo men to enter as active workers into this part of the Lord’s vineyard. With doubt as to its being for the best, con- | sent was given, and immediately, while If casting about for messengers, God put lit into the hearts of consecrated women who said, “Here are we; send us.” I Now, when we look upon our mission I fields, though there is still a mighty con- ^ trast in the full whiteness of the harvest and the scarcity of the laborers, yet there has been much joy among the an- 5 gels over the sheaves already brought || in, and the work grows, so that we have . now in China, Mexico, Brazil, and the Indies, sixteen noble women § working in this cause, and others in pre- 1 parationto go out; while thousands of women at home support them in their efforts by their prayers, their money, and their encouragement. Only a few months ago a city in China, numbering several millions of inhabitants, without one Christian heart in its midst or one among them who could speak for God, saw a glimmer of the true light from a Christian home in a neighboring city, and straightway the old message, “Come over and help us,” was sent out, and found one brave-liearted woman, Miss Rankin, ready to respond, and now Kading is blessed daily with her ear nest work and Christian example. In imagination, we see her each morning as she bids her loved sister missionaries % in the home at Nantziang good-bye, and alone in her little ship goes out to iler i day’s work of teaching and preaching, ' sitting in a little Chinese room, with / dirt floor, all day, alone-except for f mb- the presence of those for whom she f.Mf labors and for that Presence, sweetest of all, which has promised to be always with His disciples. Although each one of the missionaries who has gone from y us has her own place in our affections, # her own special work, and deserves fpfp special mention, time would fail me f should I attempt to do so this evening. fiPH But I must not neglect speaking of the 4* Misses Phillips and their special work. Wmk They are sisters; the one a graduate i from a medical college in Philadelphia lH and skilled in surgery, and the other a here let me remind you, sisters in our band, that in becoming members of these auxiliary societies we pledge ourselves to perform duty, whether that duty suits pleasure or convenience every time or not. We should be like soldiers, ready to respond to the call of our Captain and only waiting His com mand. This, our work, should be work —not pleasure. The love which we bear our Savior should inspire our hearts and strengthen our hands to Each mem ber of a society promises on becoming a member to pay one dollar a year to the missionary cause as regular dues, j and ten cents for home expenses. The last mentioned is for postage, station-, ery, etc., used in carrying on the work, j and ten cents is also paid for the same | expenses incurrred by conference sec-1 retary and treasurer—dues for the year • being $1.20. Outside of this demand j the society of the North Georgia con-1 ference (ours,) lias adopted an Indian girl, a daughter of Checotee, a convert- j ed Indian chief, who was a friend ot j Bishop Pierce and who died begging j that his daughters might receive Chris- j tian training. They are now cur child-' ren, and are in school being educated and fitted for becoming missionaries to their own people, and each auxiliary society is called upon annually for two dollars as its contribution to this fund. This will continue until the girl’s educa tion is finished. Besides these moneys, nothing is compulsory, but much money “ *n» the Go*pel’s golden day!” Pervants of the Mighty One, Can we each, with hand on heart. Say, “Thou knowest, heavenly Master, I, In truth, have done my part ?” Are we hurrying to the ship’s side, Ready with our m tes and prayers? Are we each, with consecration. Doing what the Christian dares? Oh! sweet voice that once awoke Kcboes in far Galilee, Ring in the chambers of our hearts, Life means, “Christian, work form*.’ On, that Ship of Zion, waiting! Oh, that Master’s thrilling tone! Oh, that day when we shall answer For our deeds before the throne! Wake us from our fatal slumber, ’ Tis our God goes sweeping past! Bhake each soul in Christendom. With the Gospel’s pealing blast! Rise, shake off the things of ease, Zion’s flaeis now unfurled, And He rides, the Lord of glory. Who on Calvary’s cross once bowed! Go, or send your mites before you; Go, the gates are open w ide; Go. prepare, the King of glory Follows on the Gospel’s tide! Work, lor life is but a span. God to you the strength will lend; Write it on your heart of hearts, God himself says, “Go or send.” R. D. COLE MANUFACTURING CO., NEWNAN, GEORGIA. Consumption Surely Cured. To TilK Editor—Please inform your readers that I have a positive remedy for the above named disease. By its tiinelv use thousands of hopeless cases have been permanently cured. I shall be glad to send two bottles of my reme dy free to any of your readers who have consumption if they will send me their express and post office address. Respectfully, T. A. SLOCUM, M. C., b needed to enlarge and carry on the US feart street. New York m m .4 f&w . , : : ^f trained nurse. Their duty lies in hos- | pitals and at the beds of the sick and I dying, where they find much need for the balm to’ heal soul-sickness, as well as the skilled treatment which they can administer to the body. We women, who live in this Christian land, and can almost at a moment’s notice obtain the relief from suffering which a physician can give us, can never appreciate the immense burden of bodily pain which must be borne there, because custom requires their women never to be seen by auy man except the husband or son and they have no female physicians. Do not our hearts ache with a desire to help them ? It brings me happiness to feel that here, at least, each heart H throbs iu unison with my own, and t hat we have met to-night in behalf of these unhappy onep v The management of missionary work | among the ladies is arranged somewhat as the Methodist conference work among the ministry. We have first H the Woman’s Foreign Missionary bo- 8 ciety, including us all, fr every Southern State, and presided over by Mrs. Hayes, of Baltimore I Then each conference has its society, : with its president, (or bishop,) ours ,the North Georgia) having for its pres ident Mrs. Jesse Boring. That society i* again made up of districts, wine i have their recording secretaries (or pre siding elders,! as heads. And, lastlj this district, is formed from the auxil- iary societies iu each church. And work, and we wish that many of the dimes which come into your hands may , be free-will offerings dedicated to the ! increase of (ur missionary treasures, regarding it a privilege to be acceptable in these small offerings. O, that the incense may arise from these willing sacrifices and Vie a precious odor to Him whom we serve, lingering around the offerings like the perfume of fragrant flowers long after the flowers them selves have become dust. In thinking of our societies, I fear we are all too prone to think of them as caring lor themselves, living and growing without effort of ours, except as we pay our dues; not remembering that the soci ety is made up of individuals and each one should bear her part of the burden. If every member could realize that her help was needed, her presence, her prayers, and her interest and assist ance, it would, I am sure, be accorded without stint. IIow light would be come the labor, and how glorious the results! not only to the scattering abroad of precious seed and the shed ding of the light of influence around us here, and afar in the lands of dark ness, but also for the reflex good that will flow back upon our own hearts; for it is more “blessed to give than to re ceive,” and the measure returned is always “pressed down and shaken to gether.” In our missionary work we have as our medium of information and com munication with our workers in the field The M'oman's Missionary Advo cate, our own paper, which is sent us a year for the subscription price of 50c., and that money also goes to the mission ary treasury. I wish every one could read the letters from the pens of those who represent us who go not, but have sent them so far away. They are full of inspiration, as they tell of the trials surmounted and the victories won. They come like a spark from an electric wire, touching our hearts into new zeal for the cause. It must be a lack of information on the subject that would allow any man to say, “I do not be lieve in foreign missions.” I know they do believe, in relieving distress wherev er they find it, for tlieir deeds tell it of them, and it is only because they do not hear the call of distress that they are unmindful to extend help. It is impossible for us at this great distance to realize the great results accomplish ed by our missionaries; but there comes to’us this testimony from an outsider, who has investigated what he sees go ing on around him, though not especi ally interested. A letter in our last Woman's Missionary Advocate from Col. Denby. American minister to Chi na, says, “It is idle for any man to de cry the missionaries and their work,” etc. In the distance, as we lift up our eyes and see even the feeble success, rose- painted upon the horizon, of these efforts, as the “Son of Righteousness” appears we can feel that their success is ours, and that by these our endeav ors here may claim of the saved stars for our crowns of rejoicing forever.

On her deck stood “Judah’s Lion.” God, incarnate, was the Captain, Yet He long had waited there, Calling laborers to his vineyard- Laborers who would do and dare. Hear Him, through the Gospel trumpet, Sound the summons to each soul: — “Gt» and preach to all the nations!” How the startling echoes roll! “Come,” He calls, “be workers with me. Bring your thousands, bring your mite; Lo! my halo floods the vessel With Sheklnah’s living light. See, the waves lie crouching, humbly: With dumb voice they own me, God, Knowing well in Galilee I their crystal floor have trod. Come,” He cries, “unfurl the sails; Come, the Gospel tide is flowing; Come, the Master rules the sea— Favoring gales lrom heaven are blowing.’’ Oh! how honored are our mites.
