THE HOME MISSION WORK.
Published by Bequest. 1
Item 1. A live president of a Home
Mission Society orignated and had
printed the following 12 suggestions
for the workers to keep in their Bi-
bleB for reference:
The first and most important
duty and upon whioh hinges all oth
er dnties is that you engage muoh in
earnest prayer for your auxiliary.
n. Pray for its officers, for upon
them rest heavy responsibilities, They
need your prayers.
hi. Especially on the day of the
meeting go to your secret plaoe to
pray and ask God for personal con
secration.
iv. Have a love for your auxilia
ry so strong, so true that you will
leave no method untried to increase
its influence and membership.
v. Use kindly tact and quiet,
gentle courtesy.
vi. Put into your auxiliary the
energy that you put into secular in
terests.
vn. Give as the Lord has pros
pered you.
vm. Search your heart to know
its consecration; Bearoh your house
hold affairs to know their simplicity
and economy.
ix. Ask yourself: “Am I laying
aside at least one-tenth for the
Lord?”
x. When you are asked to take
part in the ooming meeting feel as
if much of the success of the meet
ing depends on your readiness to
serve.
xi. Identify yourBelf bo closely
with the meeting that it will become
a part of yourself. If you come di-
recily from the “secret place of pray
er” He will direct and bless the work
of your hands.
xn. At the close of the meeting
do not withhold kind wordB and the
cordial handclasp which will make
glad the stranger that is within
your gates.
2. Out of 38,000 women who have
passed through the Salvation Army
rescue home in the last three years,
30,000 have been permanently saved
says Geu. Booth, The Great Head
of the ohurch is beckoning us to
greater work. Women of Method
ism, what are we for? What is our
business? Let us find the answer in
the Book of Books.
3. The last note of victory from
our London school is cheering in
deed. Seventy conversions in one
hour? Surely, our Lord is leading
us. My sisters, have we a part in
the salvation of these seventy souls?
4. At the Board meeting whioh
convened in Atlanta recently, Bish-
ish Wilson set apart four deaconess
es. This is an epoch in the history
of our church. The call for trained
women continues. Let prayers arise
that the purses of God’s children
may be opened, that our young wo
men may be prepared. Let every
body help in “Our ^Homes’’ scholar
ship by sending Miss Helm some
amount for this purpose.
6. In San Francisco there is a
Chinese Christian chnrch of seventy
members which has sent to a heath
en home community in Canton $1,-
060 to support a missionary during
1903. Does this not prove the wis
dom of christianizing the heathen
on our own shores?
6. Settlement work has been de
fined as an effort to establish home
life in those places where homes are
little known. Surely this is the work
of woman.
7. We have matriculated at Ruth
Hargrove Seminary 241 pupils this
year and turned away 25 children
under six years of age. Two large
primary rooms are absolutely neces
sary for this work. “Turned away.”
Turned away at Ruth Hargrove,
turned away from Sue Bennett,
turned away from our rescue home.
Oh! that the women of Methodism
would rise to their opportunities and
privileges,
8. A great work is being done at
Richmond, Va., which is in charge
of Rev. G. H. Wiley, assisted by the
women of Richmond.
UNIVERSITY. SUMMER SOHOOL
Athens Banner.
Chancellor Hill, of the University,
who is president of the University of
Georgia Summer Sohool, has receiv
ed a letter from Superintendent M.
L. Duggan, of the county sohools of
Hanoook county, whioh are among
the very best .schools in the state,
saying that he has abandoned the
idea of holding a teachers’ institute
in HancoPk oounty this summer, and
that he will, instead, have the teach-
ers of that county attend the Uni
versity Summer Sohool.
The Banner is glad to record this
determination on the part of Super-
intendant Duggan, who is justly
recognized as one of the very best
oounty school superintendents of the
state, and it is to be hoped that the
other county sohool superintendents
of Georgia will follow the example
set by Mr. Duggan.
Already the teachers of a number
of oounties in Georgia, as well as
Florida and Alabama, have signified
their intention of attending the Uni
versity Summer Sohool in Athens
from July 1st to August 8th.
The teachers of the state are fast
becoming acquainted with the fact
that the faculty engaged for the Uni
versity of Georgia Summer Sohool is
one of the finest any Bummer school
in the United States will have, in
cluding, as it does,not only the lead
ing educators of Georgia, but many
of the leading educators of the Uni
ted States.
Many teachers in Georgia have
been seeking snmmer sohool facili
ties in this state for several years.
Heretofore it has been necessary for
the Georgia teachers who have de
sired to take advantage of summer
school training to go to other states
for these advantages. Many have
heretofore gone as far from home as
Chicago, at considerable expense to
themselves, for no better advantages
than will be offered here at home
this year.
The Banner certainly hopes that
Georgia teacher will leave the
no
borders of this state for snmmer
sohool training this year. By oom
ing to Athens the teaohers can save
much money in the item of railroad
transportation alone, not to mention
the decreased prioe of board and
other considerations to be offered by
the University of Georgia Summer
Sohool, and not offered by any other
institution of this kind.
Every loyal and patriotic Georgia
teacher will come to Athens. All ar
guments are in favor of the summer
sohool to be held here. In addition
to this, many of the teaohers of Ala
bama and Florida have said that
they preferred to come to the Uni
versity Summer School to be held in
this city.

CORRUPTION AT ITS WORST.
Bt. Louis Republic.
One glance at the record of Brook
lyn, 111., must oonvinee northern ex
ponents of negro control in govern
ment of the fallacy of their conten
tions. Affairs in that town have
reaohed a not illogical crisis whioh
demonstrates that the negro has not
yet advanced to a point where he is
capable of managing his own or his
white neighbors’ publio oonoerns.
Brooklyn’s population of a thous
and is composed almost wholly of
negroes. They are of the average
character and oapaoity of the Uni
ted States negro, neither better nor
worse. The functions of government
ure confined exclusively to their
hands. For many, years they have
done with themselves as they pleas
ed. Only one thing they have omit
ted to do in connection with local
affairs—bear the expense of govern
ment. The records show that not a
negro in the township has ever paid
a oent of personal tax.
The mayor and street commission
er have been sent to the Ohester
penitentiary on oharges of misoon-
duot. As they left the Relay Depot
they were cheered by a mob of en-
thusiasbio admirers, who assured
them that when their sentences
should be finished the; should be
restored to office.
Brooklyn’s treasury is empty, loot
ed of its store. There is a big brass
bell that oost $2,000, which tells a
part of the story. It rests flat oh the
ground beoause there is no sohool
building Bbrong enough to* support
its weight. Also, there is a small
two-story brick sohool-house, the
“Lovejoy,” upon whioh $3,000 has
been “spent” for “painting.” Every
saloon in Brooklyn has a craps game
running wide open; and many of
Brooklyn’s officials hn\e shot craps
and played the races with the publio (
money. Warrants drawn against the
treasury' have' supplied the funds.
The negroes are well satisfied with
Brooklyn affairs—but what a record
of self-government.
A news item has reaohed Wash
ington from Ohio which has excited
the keenest interest. It is to the ef
fect that Senator Hanna is to no
longer enjdy the position of (supreme
dictator of republican affairs in his
state, but must, as a result of hisde-
feat in Cleveland by Mayor John
son, share his dictatorship with Sen
ator Forakor and George B. Cox of
Cincinnati. This information iB of
espepial interest beoause of the faot
that the Ohio republicans hold their
Btate convention in June to select a
candidate for governor aud Mr.
Hanna has selected his candidate,
Mr. Myron T. Herrick. In selecting
Mr. Herrick, Senator Hanna turned
down General Dick, of Akron, now a
member of congress. General Dick
has long had gubernatorial aspira
tions, and there are those who be
lieve he will land the plbm this year
despite Mr. Hanna. Meanwhile the
mere suggestion of a faotional fight
in republican ranks strikes terror to
the republican politicians because of
the recognized strength of Tom
Johnson.—Our Washington Corres
