insert the following from the
Helping Hand.
Mrs. ". w. Keen, who for years
has been one of the leaders in foreign
mission work in Philadelphia, has
been called to enter into the Joy of
our Lord"
Before the summer vacation. she
was moving among US, inspiring, en-.
couraging, and strengthening any
whose hearts were faint; constantly
guiding and directing the Mission
Bands Of the First Baptist Church.
whose head and heart she was, and
filling her own home with sunshine
In her beautiful, winsome way.
Mrs. Keen was the daughter of
Deacon Jefferson Borden, of Fall
River, Mass, who was for many years
a trustee of Brown University. When
only eight years of age she became a
christian, and her life has since been
constant growth in grace. Her own
youthful experience led her to labor
with zeal among the children, who
she believed were included in the
promise, "Whosoever will may come"
Her heart was so large that it took
in every good work "Oh !" she said,
when speaking of what ought to be
done, and the few there were to do it,
sometimes I wish that | might be a
dozen women at once" Her wish will
be realized in its broadest sense, for
many of the young people who have
felt the helpful influence of her life
will grow, in time, to take her place
in the work for the world, Her four
daughters have inherited much of
their mothers zeal and earnestness,
and, in the sweet home life, have
learned her winning, unselfish ways.
In the midst Of a busy life, Mrs
Keen occasionally found time to write
he words that burned in her heart
and what she has written, like her
life, has stimulated both young and
Did to greater effort for Christ and his
church. Her "Thought8 concerning
Young Ladies' Nilsson Bands" was
printed in a little tract published bv~
lur W0p1aa1n.2s Board. and also hHyton.
Through its influence, new bands
have been organized, and its valuable
suggestions have aided those already
in working order.
Though her life was SO bright, USE
full, and happy, yet when she was told
that she could not stay here much
longer, she replied with a smile, "The
Lord is my Shepherd; [ am not afraid
to die"

knowledge, an enthusiasm for their
work, and such love for the souls
and such an appreciation of the laws
Of health and of temperance as will
compel them to give these things to
their pupils. AS the future mothers,
they must be taught that woman's
sphere is pre- eminently to make her
home the most delightful spot on earth
to her family; to cultivate the home
graces and refnements by the control
of temper and the exercise of forbear-
ance; to take an interest, not so much
in the affairs of our neighbors as in
the things that concern the world in
general to cultivate the mind and
train family to habits of thrift, hon
esty, and usefulness. [ want my girls
to feel that it is possible, while en-
gagged in daily toll and in poverty
even, to exalt home life into thing
Of beauty.
| think hear some one say, care
the colored girls capable of this?" In
answer, [ will mention some of the
sacrifices they are willing to make for
an education. Several have served in
families for five dollars a month, and
saved their money to come to Shaw
University, wearing only the plainest
of clothing; others work in the field,
plowing and cultivating cotton. One
Of our girls last summer worked in
gardens, chopped cotton, picked off
tobacco worms, and shelled with her
hands thirty-three bushels of corn.
She earn ed III this. We wy Z twelve dollars

then found a school to teach fort 10f three tr-ee
months, returning to US again the last
of March. She never buys an un-
necessary article of dress, is faithful,
conscientious, and noble girl. Another
one raised last year two bales of cot
ton, first renting her land, then plow-
ing, planting and doing herself all of
the work from first to last during
the intervals Of such labor she carded,
spun and wove one hundred yards of
cloth, specinuyns of which [ have with
me. She left us three weeks ago that
she might repeat thesa experience,
and come back to school again in the
fall. [ might mention many other
noble girls who are able to teach, and
can earn their money more easily.
[ find it very easy to control the
girls, securing neatness and good or
der, and a faithful observance of the
rules; but it is owing, | think, to the
opportunity [ have each day of ap-
pealing to their moral sense, of doing
right because it is right, melting them
to hold fast to whatever things are
true, whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just, whatso-
ever things are pure, whatsoever
things are lovely, and whatsoever
things are Of good report. [ believe
the girls are generally keeping the
rules from principle.
After nearly four years of expert
ence as a missionary teacher, [ feel
greatly encouraged to continue this
work, and thankful for the opportu-
nifty; and [ know of nothing that
need prevent these daughters of a
downtrodden and despised race from
becoming as corner stones, and pol
ished after the similitude of palace.

InlIaQ0Ipnld, is SCIlI ITeSn III memory.
A deep interest was awakened in the
welfare of the school and last session
when in somewhat poor health and
with an usually heavy financial burden
resting upon the President Of the in
stitution she came to his relief, and for
several weeks solicited funds forward
ing contributions constantly, and her
letters that accompanied the money
were even greater treasure. From
week to week the writer read her let
ters to those who assembled each
Friday night to pray that God would
open the hearts of Northern friends.
In the twenty-one years that we
have been connected with the
school, no such letters so full of sym
pathy with such self forgetfulness and
abiding faith in the promises and
goodness of the dear Lord have ever
been received, and they left an i'm
preston that never will be efaced.
It was almost her last christian work.
She had already caught the language
conservation and spirit of the
heavenly land. She was fast ripening
for higher and holier service. We
understand now the inspiration that
she feterred to in her letters and that
seemed to actuate her in all she at
tempted. AS we have mourned her
death the thought has irrepressibly
come. Upon whom will her mantle
fall. Who will take her place. Who
will be our guarding angel when f.
nancial embarrassment and distress
arise; in hours when we shall need
such an inspiring and triumphant
helper.

BY their new process of drying and
grinding the tarO root, the manufacturers
of the TarO Flour have enabled the outside
world to partake at their homes of the
Polynesian Poi, and have given to our
sick rooms and hospitals new ingredient
for an easily prepared and palatable
starchy food. Whereas | believe that the
taste for the regular sour Poi, as ii is CON
sumed by the POlynesians, has to be &C.
quired and would not generally suit the
inmates of the hospitals OF Europe and the
States, | still feel inclined to say that
the decided favor of the taro will recon-
mend it as welcome change in the COM
position Of cruel and porridge. In spite of the
short time that have been on the Islands, l
have had ample opportunity for testing the
readiness with which even weak stomach,
will bear sweet Poi, and have relied on it
either pure or mixed with milk or beef tea
in treating acute feyerish diseases and dis
orders of the stomach and bowels

can most conscientiously recommend
the TarO Flour, as manufactured by the
Alden Fruit and Taro Company of Wal
luku, Maui, as an excellent article of diet;
1t is very nutritious and easily digested.
1t is particularly suited for weak and irri-
table stomaChs. In cases of vomiting
have found Poi to be invaluable; it will be
retained in the stomach when given
with water when no other article of
food can be tolerated. and generally gives
a feeling of relief. | believe that it might
be introduced as an article of diet in many
cases with great benefit into our hospitals,
and when once known will be largely used
by the public generally. ! may add
that much OF its success will depend on its
being properly cooked. The Company
furnish plain printed forms of the different
ways in which it may be used, which
should be strictly adhered to. | am par
ticular about this, as know many persons,
on first using the flour, were much disap-
pointed, who afterwards learned that this
was owing entirely to the cook.

described for hand labor, all these obiec-
tons to the use of Poi are removed. fhe
machine-made Poi is absolutely free from
impurities of every kind. To old residents
Of the Islands it is unnecessary to com
mend Poi rs an article of food, but for
others not so well acquainted with its in
trinsic value and nutritious and health
giving qualities, testimonials of leading
resident physicians are appended.
TESTIMONIALS.
The Taro Flour as prepared by
the Alden Fruit and Taro Company Of
Wailuku, Maui, consider to be an excel
lent and reliable food. Ny experience
with Poi, the native food of the Hawaiians,
has been, that in tropical climate it is
the best food not only for the Pclynesian
but for the white race The objection, and
1t is not slight one, is in its preparation,
which is uncleanly and almost repulsive to
our habits. The Taro Flour with which
Poi can be readily made obviates this
drawback. For irritable stomachs vomiting
from any cause except organic derange-
ment of the digestive organs, 1 have found
Poi invaluable either diluted with water OF
milk. l therefore encourage thoroughly
the manufacturers to try to make this food
popular abroad. g. TRoUssEAU.

MRS. PARSONS AND HENRY
GEORGE


Mrs. Parsons, wife OF the condemned
anarchist, has been reaping a financial
harvest in the East of late, receiving
sometimes as high as 500 day. Her
harrangues to the socialists and discon-
tented who go to hear her are excitable
and violent, and she fairly revels in
diatribes launched at capital and capital
lists. This pleased the discontinued ele-
covered in New York city that Mrs. Par
sons was injuring Henry Georges pros
poets, and she was invited to abate her
ardor, which sic did. Is it not just lit
tie strange that Georges friends should
reach the conclusion that their candidate
Is in danger because of this anarchist
womRn's tongue? 1t cannot be that 1t is
the capitalists she is frightening away
from George. Theoretically, and prob
ably practically, the capitalists, especially
the large real estate owners, would be
opposed to George anyway. The explana-
ton Is undoubtedly found in the fact
that the socialist propaganda that
was being preached was alarm
ing the conservative middle classes
people who are not rich by any means,
but who, by industry and frugality, have
acquired homes Of their own. Their
sympathies are with the laborlng classes
because they are nearer that element
than the wealthy, and they therefore
look kindly upon Georges candidacy.
But these people have no idea of contrib
uting to tnat general upheaval of society
which is taught in the anarchist creed
When they heard the Parsons wo-
man preaching anarchy In one breath
aid advocating Georges cause in the
next, they took alarm, and the result was,
Mrs. Parsons is not booming George any
more. After all, some of Georges doc
trines, If pursued to their logical sequence,
would end at point not very remote
from where the anarchist camp hes.

UEQUALIFIED assertions are often I'M
sale, and viii not stand the test Of logic.
This is especially true in questions affect
ing morals. Kate Fields opinion that
"Prohibltion makes sneaks and hypo-
critics." IL certainly untenable; neither
prohibition nor anti prohibition make
men other than they are. A few years
since 1t was often said OF certain men
that the war made them thieves, and II
was held responsible for that and many
other crimes which were committed.
These men were unprincipled, without
firm root in good ground, and the war
only served as an opportunity for devel-
oping the hidden embryo in their hearts.
That man who Is sneak or hypocrite
from any external restraint upon him,
has these propensities within him, and
neither prohibition or any other cause
makes him aught but the creature of his
own choosing.
