seemed TO be able to furnish it. Finally
he asked an old Irish man If he could not
get a drink anywhere First he told him

down the street to that livery stable, go
way IN back there and you will find an old
man IN there with a wooden leg, he will
give you a drink" "Well," said Mr.. Lip

thought that was too much trouble and he
did not see the man. Rev. II. NJ. Brown.
well-known in Woodstown, also made some
very fitting remarks. This morning. now
at 1870, we are gathered in the pavilion
and Mrs. Fisk is presiding. Three cheers
for Fisk, he's on the platform. 80 our
minds are at rest, we will hear him to-
night. This morning our meeting is in the
interest of WOman's Home Missionary So
ciety. Rev. A. i. Ballard was the first
speaker announced. His remarks were
very cheering to the women in their work.
The Scripture was read and prayer offered
by Mrs. DIR. Jones, Of the st. Louis Con
ference. Mrs. Caminade, of Trenton. gave
a most beautiful yet pitiable description of
the need of help for foreign missions. Mrs.
Il. NJ. Il. Wells, Secretary of supply de-
partment, was introduced and opened her
remarks by showing the need of work this
sid OF the Delaware, urging us all to feel
the responsibility of work depending upon
as individuals. | wish your readers were
all here to hear these speeches. There is
so much | cannot write you all the good
things, but | am sure you could all digest
them, and in the language of the good
Methodist brethren say "Amen," If all
the men in Woodstown could only hear
Mrs. Wells | am sure they wonld think the
women Of this land were of some IMPORT
ance after all. After her speech the choir
sang a hymn which was very worthy of
note, do Something for Jesus Today
II we should all try to do something each
day, the good accomplished would be mex
pressible. Mrs. Matthews, of New York,
gave us a description of her work in Castle
Garden. which was most deplorable, peo-
pie landing there of all nationalities, poor
and some sick. Nobody there, she says,
that are happy. Souls to be sayed-some-
thing for each Christian there to do. Gen
eral Fisk came to the front lust before the
hour of closing amid a burst of applause,
bidding the work of home mission God
speed.
The morning service is at an end. all
praise to Mrs. Fisk for the beautiful man
ner in which she presided. The afternoon
exercises We're presided over by our State
President, Mrs. Downs. The Rev. A.
h. Ballard welcomed the women of the
churches of New Jersey and all the other
states to Pitman Grove, and welcomed the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union 10
a very cordial manner. which address was
responded to by Mrs. Downs. Mrs. Boole.
of Staten Island, spoke first, taking as her
subject "Woman's Mission and Gods
Commission" | cannot tell you of the
worth of her talk. 1t always expresses a
great deal to me, when | want to be en-
phatic, to say Its grand so, dear MoEI-
FOR, SO long as you are not all here, I'll
just say Mrs. BODIES talk was grand. |
wish Icould tell you all she says, but I'll
leave you here and tell you if ever she is
near You don't fail to hear her, she will
make Prohibitionists of you all. When
she finished her beautiful speech, our loyal
standard bearer, General Fisk, gave a few
remarks endorsing all she SAID. We are
all saving up for tonight when he will
have the platform and give MS the best he
has God and Home and Native Land, /"
the suppression of the liquor traffic, and
the doing away OF the saloon. How many
will help General Fisk? Maybe I've tired
yon already, but | am so anxious for you
all to be strong for temperance. Good bye.
