Whatever motive may have melted the
negro exodus from other parts of the
South, l am very sure politics had moth
ing to do with it here l do not think
during the time that this movement was
going on that such suggestion was made,
as that any political cause existed for such
stampede 1 saw much of the negroes
conversed with them, and in some in
stances advised them No other reason
was ever assigned to me than that they
had failed to make living here, and
were going where they had the promise
of doing better. / have heard hundreds
of them talking among themselves, and |
have talked with some of them myself.
and this is the only reason ever assigned
in my hearing, or which has come to my
knowledge from any source.
These crop failures and the consequent
emigration of so many of our people,
have, both of them. affected our churches
here in serious and discouraging man
ner. Of course the mercantile community
suffer with the planters, especially the
cotton factors, who usually have made
large advances to the planters The
crop was too short to enable the planters
to pay up; and hence at Selma some
heavy failurs of cotton factors have oc-
Cured. One of these was an active, in
fuential, and liberal elder of one of our
churches at Selma This gave such a
blow to our second church there that DR..
Hoopers church had to rally to its sup
port to the amount of $500. On account
of the removals from Demopolis, one
elder having gone, and the only other
elder having been thrown out of bust
ness, the church is no longer able to
have preaching. The other churches in
this region, Marion, Uniontown, DAYTON.
Greensboro, Newberne, etc, etc, as well
es the churches in the country, have all
been affected in a similar manner, strain
ing them to the utmost to support the
gospel, and diminishing their ability to
contribute to the causes of evangelical
ton. That the same financial straitness
is not confined to this part of Alabama
L have reason to believe. When DR.
Glrardeau visited Selma in the interest
of the Columbia Theological Seminary
he was ready to visit us at Uniontown;
but L felt myself conscientionsly unable
to ask him over, because | knew in our
present condition he could accomplish
nothing. In Selma. that noble people.
Notwithstanding the financial straitness
gave him $3.50 believe. But DR.. Petrie
of Montgomery, was constrained to do as
| had done, and not allow the efors TO
be made at this time, lest it should be
a failure. | hope, therefore, this pros
perity of which we read of in the news
papers is a reality in other parts of the
country, but it is very evident that here
we are several degrees removed from it.

is the thought of the rush Of these myriads

Mrs. Randolph is now very well.
Our schools are all very interesting 1t
is great thing to get the minds of the
children brought under the influence of
the truth. | alone have sixty boys under
my care. But my pet-class, is one OF
fifty or 6fty-fve girls-sixty boys and
fifty girls-that is over hundred for
me; and the others have over hundred.
So we have more than two hundred chill

aging? I do! Then, you know, we 90

truth of Christ. am now praying for
seven women who say they believe in our

But how much faith does it take to save
people like these, who have so little spir-
itual comprehension? "All who cali on

DIR. Happier is one of the oldest mis-
sionaries here. He says: Let 10000
more missionaries come to China-there
is room for them all"l His wife is doing
a great work among the women of Can
ton. The lady who was her companion
in her work there, is now here-Mrs.
Leaman, who was Miss Crouch. She is
also fine worker but she is to go to
Nsnkin. We are sorry to lose her, but
Nankin will rejoice. To-day or to-mor-
row Bishop Moule arrives in Shanghai
with his wife and four children. They
are coming here. He has been in China
some twenty five or thirty years, 1 be-
lieve-is very fine man, and accom-
plished Chinese scholar, and will greatly
add to our Christian society. There are
frequent changes, you see-some going,
others coming. But none of our mission,
hope, will have to go for years to come.
We are all so happy here together.
Yes, Mr.. Thompson's death so soon

ferrous providence. | trust Mr.. and

6ispleasure. He says, and truly so, that
the modesty of her daughters was the
ancient glory of Ireland" but all this is
now to be changed, and matrons and
maidens forgetting the modesty of their
sex and the high dignity of their woman
hood, are taking their stand in the noisy
arena of public life" This is so, and the
innovation is to be deplored. A priest
in the south of Ireland has publicly
stated that he will deny the sacrament
to any woman of his flock who joins the
Ladies Land League Association.
