NARROWING WINTER WHEAT.


A correspondent of the Farmers Home

tie other field of twenty acres on corn

In the following spring, aDcut the LIST

For few days I was undetermined
whether or not to pillow up this piece of
wheat and SOW the ground in osts. But

the crowd.
Rev. DR.. Duncan next spoke briefly but
most forcibIy on this question, "What have
you to do with missionsf" He gave most
vivid and amusing picture Of the effort
which individuals constantly make to shit
responsibility to " the Church." and in most
facetious and telling strain urged that the
Church is made up of individuals, and that
each one must appreciate his responsibility
and come up to his duty in this matter.
He facetiously introduced the missionary
secretary.
Rev. DR.. McFerrin begun by saying that if
he was anywhere else he would not say an
other word, bat pronounce the benedictIon.
But this was the most church-Soing, pa
tient-listening people he had ever seen.
They crowded the house in rain as well as
shine: they would listen as long as anybody
had ANYTHING to say; and even after they
we're dismissed they would liDger until the
Bishop had TO beg them to leave the house
so that he could get out. He was not
afraid of these people, and would speak 10
them Us long as he felt like 1t. Alter some
pleasant satire on the small amount given
for missions by the Conference IAN average
of thirty.ope cents to the member), he gave
a vivid account of the work done among
the negroes of the South By the Methodist
Church South until their colored member.
shin in 1860 numbered two hundred
thousand. He paid touching tribute 10
the memories the noble missionaries WHO
had toiled among these sons OF Atrtca,
many of whom had fallen at their posts
and now sleep in unmarked graves oil
through the South, and claimed that the
country owes debt to the Methodist Church
for what it has done to elevate ana Cnris-
tianize these people. +.
He insisted that it was the highest COM:
pliment that could be paid the efficiency OF
this work that men have Ieaped from slavery
into the United States Senate, and:ehat THESE
neople whom we have taught should pc
deemed by the United States Government
worthy to be rulers in the land.
These people have been sadly scattereu
since the war, but about 100000 Of them
have. been organized into the "Cosorad
