At about the time of the Inauguration OF
the Bartholdi statue in New York harbor
the statue being the generous and beautiful
gift of France to America, comes patriotic
appeal from Paris to the people of the
United States. for additional aid to the Nc.
All Mission, the representatives of which
are working, with great zeal and efficiency,
among class of French people who had
thrown of the yoke of the Ultramontanes
and who now gladly receive an unsectarian
religion. This call comes from Mrs. Marine
J. Chase, of Philadelphia, president OF
the American McAu association,
who asks not only for aid but that all

To THE DEAR FRIENDS IN AMERICA, WORKERS IN
AID or THE MCALL MISSION
Since the establishment of our mission,
nearly fifteen years ago, God has wonder
fully provided for its support and extern

recognized as one of the many tokens OF
divine favor. Now, however. we find our
selves embarrassed by heavy deficit, which
causes us painful anxiety As to the conduct
of the mission. and the suppression, for
the coming year. of much valuable
work. 1t is difficult to under
stand why the Lord hath suffered
such check to befall the mission at mo
ment when the spiritual blessing is 50
marked, and when, TO human eyes, il seems
most important that the work should be eN-
tended throughout France.
In view of this painful position and the
great responsibility resting upon us as di-
rectOrS of the McAll mission. we call upon
the workers in all our stations, and upon
the auXiliaries in Great Britain, and upon
the American McAII association, to unite
with us in observing Friday, the 18th day
of November As day of special prayer
and Supplication.
BY thus coming together before the Lord.
may we not look for His special blessing:
Let us agree together to ask the Holy Spirit
TO quicken every giyer and every gift, and
to sanctify the workers on the field. Let
us pray God to bring new blessing out OF
this trial. TO extend the work as never be
fore. and, above all, 10 make the McAll
Mission an irresistible spiritual power for
the salvation of multitudeS, for the honor
of His cause and the glory of His name.
From the Akron Beacon, of November
9th. we take the following little editorial
nugget:
The Springfield Times is for Whiteley,
first. last and all the time, and the republi-
can party and everything else after that.
The fOOlishneSS of its faction in their un-

only nearly cost us Clark county and almost
defeated Bob Kennedy for congress, but
was felt as drag upon republicans in every
industrial center of the state, being most

democratic demagOgues, who were seeking
to influence the labor vote in their own be

Just to all, never accomplished a greater
task than when il counteracted this evil in
fiuence and held the lines in Springfield
even as steadily as they proved TO be.
The following from the Cincinnati Com
nlcrcidI Gazette, of November 1lth. is in
ali respects true:
The trouble with the WhiteIeys, of
Springfield, who have succeeded by con-
tributing brass band and daily newspa-

republican majority of two thOusand-the
trouble is, not that they are for or against a
particular man or men, or set of principles
but that they seek TO identify themselves
with the republican party and throw their
burdens upon it. They claim to be resist

actual Knights and swelled the vote against
the republicans that was stirred up by the
brass band and the newspaper.
