an interesting address on missior,. VIII
The speaker spoke of the astonisffai |
growth of the missionary work, and re
ferred to time not far in the past wher
no such thing as a missionary meeting
was thought of. The children have now
come to the front and are doing grand
work. "Whence comes this great adj
vance, from the religion of the Lord Jesus
Christ. All the force and power comes
from that source alone" The speaker
said he questioned the piety of a man
who had not the missionary spirit. "!ill
cannot go out on mission work, hutevery
one can be missionaries, by contributing
pray ing for the cause and melting the
spirit in others.' He said: "All the
heather are not in foreign lands; there
are plenty of them at home, at your very
door, in every community in the land,
may be found those without the gospel.
He dwelt at length on the Importance of
home work, and urged his hearers to 90
on until the cross is set up in every ma
ton in the world, and until from valley
to mountain may be heard the shout
"All hail the power of Jesus name"
AT the close Of the address quartstte
was sung by Misses Lizzie Merritt and
Carrie Ricketts,, and Messrs. John Davis
and George Brown.
The most important event of the even
ing then took place, that was the call OF
the classes for their missionary offering.
The contributions were as follows:

Mrs. L. Wingate of DAlles' Oregon
was in Ekton Cd Monday last, upon a
short VISIT mapy upon business. Mr.. and
Mrs. Wingatsi left Cecil county many years
ago, and afer testing several other places
finally sfttled at "The Dales, as it was then
called Now it is known by the name of
"Dsles," having grown from corner set
tnment into prosperous town of several
thousand inhabitants. Mr.. Wingate pros
persd in business until a very short time
ago, when he died. He was estimated to be
worth several hundred thousand dollars.
His passage from impecunosity to wealth
was not smooth and unrutfied by any mat
ter of means, but by hard ticks he worked
himself to the top of the heap and became a
leading man in the community where he
resided. Mrs. Wingate visited the East up
