| Hams. There are number of rooms on the
 main streets into which girls are 1ured.
 Sometimes girls enticed into these rooms ] without the least idea of the character of the
 places. There are some parties engaged in | this business that ought not to be. If it is
 so that Williams is guilty of taking girls
 into his room I should like to make it un- pleasant for him to keep such place. A MISSIONARY FAREWELL.
 An Interesting Occasion to Many | Friends at the First MI. E. Church. A correspondent says: It IS no longer a | rew thing for woman to receive the divine | call to special work in the great harvest field | of the divine master but rarely, if ever, has
 the Macedonian cry reached tho ear of moth CT and son at one and the same time and bid
 den entire family of three generations go
 forth to plant the blessed gospel, the tree of | life, on the barren waste of sin in heather | land. But the time has come when marvels ] in church life surprise us no more and while | we give him glory whose name is wonder | full and rejoice that such honor is conferred l on those we love and with whom we have been privileged to labor in the Lord, we gather to clasp their hands and say the final adieu, and with the benediction of our united faith bid them God speed as they go far away to their appointed work.
 The farewell meeting this time was held at the First M E. church in this city on Mon day evening, January 5, 1885. It was emi- nently fitting that our beloved Mrs. Scranton should have the opportunity of meeting her many friends in the city, at the very place which was for so many years her own church home and where her work for the Woman's Foreign Missionary society commenced, first auxiliary secretary, then secretary of New Haven district and finally of New York East conference.
 Here also her son, Rev William Scranton, M. D., who goes with her, appointed and sent out by the parent missionary association to establish Christianity in Korea, was instruct ed in the Sunday school and in early youth sought and found peace with God by believ ing in Jesus.
 Although it is five years since they left New Haven, we still count theA our very own, as ssshown in the tasteful decorations, the sweet perfume of the beautiful flowers, the dainty social repast and kindly greetings of the hour, all supplemented with a hearty ''God bless you," everywhere seen and felt, whether uttered or unexpressed.
 The brief addresses were very inspiring and will not soon be forgotten
 Dr. Goodsell, the pastor, presided and in his address spoke first of the honor conferred on those who are called to labor in foreign fields and then very touchingly referred to the heroism of lives given to such a work in y1iv comforts and ease of the laborers in civilized lands with the privations, self-denials and sacrifices of those who, in the midst of bar barians and heathenish darkness, spend their | lives for Christ and the souls for whom he died.
 It was great treat to have our branch l secretary, Mrs. Alderman, with us and to | hear her kindly words of encouragement and | cheer. Her acquaintance with Mrs. Scran- 1 ton, she said, has been lifelong and her in l terest in her and her family has been grow | ing with the passing years, and that she | call by giving her all, her only child and | then herself to his work in foreign fields, | was matter of great rejoicing.
 She referred to the honor given to our church of sending at the time to the | same field as missionaries of the cross, an en- tire family, mother and son with his wife and little one, and said such an opportunity will probably not be repeated for many years perhaps never.
 Alluding to our beloved Methodism, it's noble mission and grand history so much talked about in this centennial year of its organization in the United States, Mrs. A. said a great mistake had been made in calling John Wesley it's founder, for the forceful words of Susanna Wesley, the mother, were 5he real foundation stones of the great struc- ture, which has stood so firm during all these years.
 And if woe Rarbara Hack who ipducad ! Philip Embury to preach the gospel to a lit ;le band of card players, which resulted in he formation of the first Methodist church class in this country. She told us how she lad hoped the New England branch of our society might have the privilege of support ng this, our first missionary to Korea, but Mrs. Scranton was too well known in the different branches where she had labored to allow it. The New York and Cincinnati branches each asked for share in her sup port, which request the ex-committee grant d, the first two taking the salary and the ast the outfit and passage to her field of abor.
 At the close of Mrs. Alderman's address he district secretary, with few remarks, presented to our outgoing missionary silk Iuilt which loving fingers had formed from iny pieces into thing of beauty and com ort as well, the expression of friendship, and appreciation.
 Mrs. Scranton responded in her usual fe- | icitous way. She spoke of her. attachment o the church in New Haven, which she . alled her church, though she had been so ong away; of the pleasant associations of the { ,ast and the affection she still felt for this people, She said she could not understand { vhy such honor was put upon her. The { bought of it was constant source of amaze nent. She did not look upon the undertak t ng before her as involving sacrifice on her | t ,art, but rather as privilege for which she I vas thankful and glad.
 And then, as if to show us where her in crest and strongest desires were cente1ed, he seemed to forget herself and her own cir !. of separation from friends and Il of social life that makes life dear, and yith all the intensity and hope of her ardent ature, urged us to be ready to send some s ne younger and stronger than herself to z urther on the work it was hers to inaug f rate. We sang the doxology and parted, t ejoicing that, in every changeful scene, four tod is over all, blessed forevermore.
