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. »-•-« Confederate Veterans’ Re-Union.

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 pondence, +-•-+ Makes a Glean Sweep.
