REPORT ON THE STATE BUSINESS AGENT

by our President and Executive Com.
mittee, to the membership of our
order in regard to raising a fund for
establishing a Business Agency for
our State, a copy of which is hereto
appended 1t was made my duty to
receive the reports of such amount
as were pledged for this purpose and
report the same to your body.
Up to this date in notes,
payable not later than
Nov. lst, next, and a
small amount of cash,
the sum of S 5,s97.25
I have received official no.
tees of pledges and notes
made by members, to
the amount of 25,O84.25
Total, -$3O,98l.5O
From hundreds of letters received,
it is manifest that two causes have
operated most seriously against a more
prompt and liberal response on the
part of the members:
First. The want of a clearer under
standing as to how the fund is to be
applied, how it is to be secured against
loss, and the advantages which may
accrue to the contributor.
Second. The continued drought
which prevailed in many sections of
the State, and which threatened serious
disaster to the crops.
Happily the recent general rains
have revived the dropping spirit, as
well al the dropping plant, and it only
remains for this body to devise such
a system as shall fully meet the first
enquiry to secure a general and most
liberal response from the members
throughout the State. The address
of the Executive Committee has
been received with hope, courage
and enthusiasm, and if this body shall
digest and present to our brethren a
practical and safe plan for applying
the fund for the benefit of the order,
no reasonable demand will fail to be
met promptly and literally.
Respectfully and fraternally,

LITTLE RAY.
BY W. P.

Written on request of friends of the
family, and dedicated to Mr.. Thos. f.
and Mrs. Hattie Durbin on the death of
their little son, Raymond Z. Durbin,
aged 6 years and 20 days, whose death
and funeral we're mentioned in THE LEA
DER very recently.
Where the winds blow soft on the distant
slope,
And whisper of time and the fleeing years,
We laid him at rest as a faded hope,
And jeweled his grave Wit our falling tears.
Our bright-eyed d~arling-our Little Ray;
Oh, why was he called from our arms so
soon?
We asked when the sun went down that day,
And the twilight shadows were creeping on.
But in dreams that night Lo, an angel came,
And pausing, he stood on the doorway sill;
With a gesture he spoke our loved ones
name,
And said as he glanced toward the distant
hill:
"Weep not, weep not, for took him home,
As the Master wanted him by His side,
And he's waiting up there until you shall
Your own Little Ray, that you thought had
died"
And we think now we see him-our Little
Ray;
And of, so oft while our darling waits,
He comes to the entrance each night and day,
And beckons TO us through the Jasper gates.

sight into the foreign mission work of the
Presbyterian church.
Miss Pierce, a talented lady of quiet de-
meanor, who labors for the Lord in an
isolated locality in Utah, delivered a very
interesting address on her work. From
her remarks the audience learned much
of the trials Of a home missionary. Few
know Of the field for Christian endeavor
in Utah.
Rev. 7. G. Kirkwood, D. D.. spoke of
the missionary work under way in the
synod of Colorado. Very entertainingly
he told of the schools for the education of
Indians and Mexicans, and of the eager
ness with which these people accepted the
word. and of the trials undergone by the
emissaries of the church.
Rev. VIM. Irwin, D. D., of New York
was the last speaker of the evening. He
is en- route home from a business tour to
the Northwest, Alaska and California.
DR.. Irwin talked to the synod in a concise,
easy style of the missionary work of the
church. He is one of the noted pulpit
orators of the country and although
speaking only a few minutes last evening
made a very favorable impression. His
Utah experiences were quite interesting.
