s9- WoMES's MISSIONARY SOCIETY.

RAJ WoMEN's MISSIONARY SOCIETY.
Thursday night of last week, the
18th instant, Miss Boyd, of Wheeling
this State, delivered lecture in the NJ
E. church, in this place, preliminary to
the organization OF a "Women's Mis-
sionary Society" She gave succlnct
history of the causes which led to this
independent enterprise among the
Methodist women, and among other
things canvassed the difficulty of reach
ing the heather women Of the East,
from the fact that they were never al
lowed to mix with the males, and that
the male missionaries were not permit
ted to visit the harems, while those OF
the female sex had that liberty, and
could visit the poor, degraded, unhappy
creatures, and by personal intercourse
and converse instil into their darkened
minds the light of christianity. She
stated, also, that the female mlsslona-
ries were being educated as physicians,
as, in plying their vocation, they had
not only more ready access. but the
heathens looked upon those who could
heal the sick with especial awe and re-
verence, and deemed their successful
doctor as possessing gifts from God,
and of course such would more readily
inspire confidence, and thus reach the
ears and hearts of those henighted crea-
lures.
Her lecture was edifying and instruc-
tive, and favorably impressed every one
who listened.
At the close, society was organized
some 40 persons giving their names
The following officers were elected -
President, Mrs. G. A. Fleming; Vice
Presidents, Mrs. L. E. Etchison, Mrs.
L. Chapline, Mrs. V. Staley, Mrs NJ
McKevitt, Mrs. E. Cameron, Mrs. L..
Beethoven, Mrs S. Underdonk, Miss
Anna Smurr, Mrs NJ. Wiley; Recording
Secretary, Miss Jennie Fawcett; Cores
ponding Secretary, Mrs. Anna E.
Chapline; Treasurer Mrs. J. G. Nice;
Agent for the Heather Womens
Friend, Miss Jennie Cameron. The
honorary members give what they are
able or willing, no specific amount being
required of them. Monthly meetings
will be held, at which such order of
business as may be adopted by the So
ciety will be gone through. Devotion,
singing, essays, and sewing, will, we
are informed. vary the exercises. At
the first meeting held at the Parsonage
on Monday evening last, quitea number
joined the society.

PROVIDING FOR RAINY DAY.


Economy is always to be commended.
We do not mean stinginess, or that
meanness which the world characterizes
as niggsrdliness, but true wholesome
economy, which teaches us to bear in
mind always, the rainy days will come,
and that he is unwise, who neglects to
provide against them.
There are thousands and tens OF
thousands, who accept literally the
Scriptural injunction, "Be not thought
full for the morrow" None other than
a simpleton could possibly construe it
to mean that no thought should be Ia
ken for to-morrow's demands. People
must eat, drink, and be clothed and
warmed. Food, clothing and coal, do
not come of themselves, nor will they
last always, without replenlshment.
Each succeeding day brings with it de-
mands, compliance with which may be
put off for season, but they will be
repeated until they are met.
Perhaps no more impressive illustra-
ton of the absolute imperativeness OF
our economic spirit than is to be found
in the restitution which prevails so
largely amongst the working-classes in
great cities. A long-contiuued season
of prosperous times, lured many of
them into fatal security. With album
dance of employment and good wages,
they were unwise enough to neglect
providing for the rainy days, which are
always certain to come. In moment
when it was least expected, like thun-
der clap in a clear sky they found them
selves startled by the stern fact that
factories and workshops had been clos
ed, thousands and tens of thousands
thrown out Of employment, and unfor-
tunately very many of them without a
single dollar of their own, upon which
to depend. Money became more and
more scarce, until not only were the
wheels of industry stopped, but even
men OF large means were sometimes at
their wits end, to know where to OBJ
tain an amount sufficient for immediate
necessities.
How bitterly in such a trying crisis,
must the improvident man realize the
i'll effects of his improvidence. How
sorely regret, that when in his power,
be failed to lay by dollar or two for
the inevitable rainy day. How comfort
ing in such time of general distress, is
the thought, that for month or even a
fortnight, there is something in hand to
keep want from the door, and render
"the loved ones at home' comfortable.
A dime day, gives thirty dollars a
year. Counting only the working days
Thirty dollars laid away in the Savings
Bank, forms nucleus around which
other savings may be accumulated, and
possibly the foundation laid for stock
of capital, available for other than rainy
DAYS.
