Woman's Pre.byferisal Wis.
siOnary SOciefy.

Our town was favored last week
by gathering of ladies representing
the Woman's Presbyterial Mis-
sionary Society" of Omaha Presby-
terry. There are eighteen auxiliary
societies in this Presbytery; they
meet regularly once a month, and
are organized for home and foreign
mission work. The PRESBYTERIAN
ladies of the State of Nebraska hsv ,
pledged themselves TO support two
missionary teachers, Miss Carrie A.
Farrand, who labors in the Home
Mission field at Malade City, Idaho,
and Miss Agnes Carey, who works
among the heather women in
Oroomiah, Persia.
The ladies of Omaha Pfesbytery
have, during the past year, raised
5000 to prosecute their work.
Some of the reports from auxiliary
societies were particularly interest
ing, giving in detail the various
modes of work, the hindrsnces en-
countered, etc., etc. The ladies of
Creston pledge sufficient, yearly, to
support scholar in the girls school
at Laos, Siam, TO be named "Cres-
ton"
During the afternoon session the
ladies of Columbus resolved TO form
themselves into an auxiliary society
and join the ranks of workers, who
extend i'm one unbroken chain from
the Atlantic to the Pacific coast. Mrs.
McGinitie was chosen as president ;
Mrs. Bowman, vice president Miss
White, secretary, and Mrs. Marshall
Smith, treasurer.
The Presbytery invited the ladies
to occupy the evening in their exer-
cises (; the audience present was large
and appreciaiive. Program as fol-
lows: Report of Creston auxiliary,
read by Mrs. F. N. McCandlish ;
report of Young Ladies' Band of
Omaha, by Miss Ida Wilson; Cen
eral Presbyterial Reports by Mrs.
A. P. Nicholas, the Presbyterial Sec
retary; a Sabbath school exercise
on India, led by Mrs. p. l.. Perrine.
We are glad to see the ladies enter
so heartily, so enthusiastically, upon
this work, as it is so emphatically
woman's work for woman and
none but women can have access to
the degraded occupants of the ze-
nanas and harems of heather lands.
The status of woman in any coun-
try defines its civilization hence the
women, the mothers of heather
lands, must be reached before we
can expect to find the countries
themselves christianized.
A highly intelligent and cultivated
Hindoo gentleman mot christian,
however), recently asserted, at lit
erary dinner in Bombay, India, that
India could never approach the high
type of civilization of England until
her soOmen occupied a higher plane.
This work of educating the wo-
men in heather lands, is what our
ladies missionary organizations of
the United States are now doing.
We wish them hearty God speed.

The sheep shearing festival has
become quite an institution at Bea-
trice, and perhaps has done as much
as any one thing of its kind could to
encourage sheep raising in that Sec
ton of the state. There are there
some very fine flocks of the wealth.
producing animal--flocks that show
the special knowledge of their mas
ters, and the care and attention bes-
towed. To succeed, a man should
have an affection for, and pride in
the welfare of, the animal under his
care, as well as give them his close
personal attention. With-a good
start in stock of any kind in Ne
braska, and the care that a man of
ordinary ability gives to anything
he turns strict attention to, there is
no doubt of success.
