Woman’s Foreign
Missionary Society,
“Woman’s work for woman • •
has no stronger friend in
land, than the Rev George
Lochr of China. A letter of very 1 i
recent date, written to Mrs F A
Butler, is filled with !
commendatory words for our
work- He approves of the pro-j
jected college of high grade,which |
our Woman’s Foreign Missionary j
society hope soon to to build in
Shanghai, as a memorial to the
late Dr Young J Allen. When
completed this college will be
known as the “Allen Memorial, >>
and Mr Lochr believes that it will
be largely self sustaining from
the beginning, aside from the
salaries of the foreign professors. {
These will of course be paid
by the home church.
Ten years ago, when First
Methodist church in Macon,
asked the privilege Of supporting
Dr Fearn, missionary to China,
we almost wondered that one
church alone would assume so
ar ^ e a responsibility. Today
we have cit -Y churches supporting
four missionaries, and numbers
of Woman’s Missionaries Auxili
aries which pay the salary of one
missionary. But when the
Wesleyan Advocate ' of Sept. 17
brought tne news that Miss
Mary Johnstone one of our new
missionaries going from Dawson,
Ga., will be supported by one
earnest Christian gentlemen, we
felt that a still better day was
dawning. This gentleman is Mr
B B Perry of the Dawson Metho
distchurch,
Two of the nine young women
who sail this month for their
respective fields of
labor, are Georgians. Miss Mary
Johnstone is the daughter of Rev
J B Johnston of the South Ga
Conference, and Miss Kate
Cooper is from Rome, Ga. Both
have been assigned work in Korea

Costly Keys,
One thousand seven hundred pounds
was the sum given by Count Adolphe
de Rothschild for what may be said to
be the most valuable key in the world.
It is marked with the arms of the
Strozzl family and is believed to be
the work of the great Italian artist
Benvenuto Cellini, who flourished in
the sixteenth century. The key is chis¬
eled out of a block of steel, presenting
two grotesque female figures and orna¬
mented with various masks and scrolls.
Another costly key, which formerly be¬
longed to the Medici family, is in the
South Kensington museum, London.
The upper part of the bow rests upon a
square temple, Inclosing a standing
figure, exquisitely chiseled, holding a
shield. The pipe consists of a column
with a Corinthian capital. •
