the Gospel to scenes of beauty, and
sacrifice and devotion to God. His
eloquence touched thousands OF hearts
who were strangely touched by the
simple story of unquestioning faith
and devotion of blind David, one OF the
converts at Allahabad. Such was the
power of the truth that hearts respond

largest basket collection ever taken

Altogether We may say this Missions
airy Convention was the most success
full financially OF any of the notable
gatherings of the season.
The surf meeting-a marvellous
meeting of $4,000 people on the beach
was "a beautiful closing service to this
day of spiritual enjoyment, rich in
privilege. couhl but feel that our sis
tiers of st. Louis Conference would re-
ceive fresh inspiration from these de-
voted missionaries, whose burning
words penetrate the innermost depths
of our being. We feel like echoing the
inspiring words of Mrs. DR.. Butler, and
wish the echoes might ring on and on
through Eternity: Sisters of the w.
M. f. S, never fail in your work. You
are doing a grand work, beautiful
work, queenly work-brlnging souls
to Christ. The first orphan ever re-
ceived by our Missionaries is now
teaching the glad news of the Jesus
religion"
These days will long dwell in MEM
DRY to stimulate us that we may in
turn help others in bringing all hearts
into harmony with the great heart
throbs of the Infinite One who gave
Himself for lost world. Let me urge
each dear sister to greater diligence
that we may each receive reward in
seeing full Treasury; and may each
dollar that seems to speak of q soul
redeemed by the precious blood, be
sent out with prayer that the harvest
may be abundant to the honor and
glory of God.

The Prohibition skeleton.

Constitutional Prohibition is the
skeleton in the Republican household,
says the New York World.
In Maine, Kansas, Iowa, in every
impregnable Republican stronghold,
intolerance has been stamped on every
page of the statute books. 1t has been
made crime to distill spirits, to brew
beer, to deal in or to drink liquor or la
ger. The Sabbath has been turned in
to day of penance and not of pleas
ure.
But where Prohibition meant the
loss of public offices the Republicans
have put their bigotry in their pockets
and truckled to the liquor interests fol
the sake of votes.

central redoubt. The Chinese commenced the
attack at 9 a. m. by trying to surround the

Tended their position bravely, compelling the
French to surround the redoubt and carry it at

troops fought with spirit and decision. They
captured all the enemy's war material, mules
