In Memorlam.

DR.. Gentry Thomas died at the residence
of his friend, Isaac johnson, ESQ.,, near Mid
dlebrook, in Iron county, NO., on Tuesday.
2sth of February, 1883, aged about forty five
years. He was the son of DIR. Moses Thomas,
whose death occurred about two months
prior to that of the son. The father had
been we'll known in Belleview and adjacent
country for fifty years as successful prac-
titioner in his profession, and the son inher-
lting all the native talent Of his father in the
healing art, with a more liberal education,
stood the equal Of the best in medicine and
surgery In Southeast Missouri. 1t is not
passing too high an eulogy upon the sub
ject Of this memoir to say that If his life In
later years had been regulated by the prac.
tice Of temperance, his career would have
been brilliant success in domestic, social
and professional relations. In his school
days he was an exemplary student, highly
esteemed by his teachers and fellow students.
Or. Thomas, Jr., had pious mother, who
taught him in his early youth .the principles
of pure religion; but she preceded him to
the grave by near thirty years. His father
did not take a second wife and the children
OF Dr.Thomas, Sr., in consequence knew the.
disadvantage of growing up without mother
while the fathers avocation necessarily took
him from home much of the time. Fortu-
nately DR.. Gentry married a lady OF most
excellent Christian character, who not only
blessed his married life by her prayers and
pious example, but stood by his side
in his final deatl.-struggle, doing all she
could to soften his dying bed by those sngei
ministries which only the heart and hands OF
pure woman can bestow at such time.
These circumstances are mentioned here ss
explaining the fact that DR.. Thomas gsvo
evidence during the last few days OF bis life
that his peace was made with God through
faith in the all-saving "blood Of the lamb.~
He often called for the bible to read, and
! would request his wife to unite with him in
prayer.
About ten days before he died the writer
OF this visited him and found him very low.
but clinging to fond hope that he would
recover. He expressed an unquestionines
belief in the bible, but could not conceal the,
fact that reluctance to appearing to ho
frightened nerved him to apparent indiffer-
ence Oh the subject Of n preparation for.
death. Still there were grounds for hope that
he felt then more than he was willing for me-
TO know. But, while we have good hope for
the penitent, let no living man presume rpor4
the chances Of dying hour.

st. Louis Correspondence.

] Ed. Register The members and
friends of the Womans Foreign Mis-
sionary Society Of the M. E. Church
had rare treat in the visit and adj
dresses of Miss Clara Cushman, who
has six years been q missionary to
| China. A district convention was held
and she addressed the won en- and pub
lie on Friday afternoon and at night.
She was teacher in one of the schools
OF the society in China, and is lady Of
great culture and educated in the liter
ature of her own land and has made
great proficiency in that of China. She
talks and sings in the Chinese language
fuently. Her hearers were greatly
pleased and interested in her recitations
in that strange and difficult language
to acquire. She had many specimens
of Chinese curiosities, which she exhib-
tied and explained. She amused the
ladies greatly at the lunch table by
eating with the Chinese chop sticks,
yet did not attempt to induce the ladies'
to adopt them at their tables.
She described fully the custom and
method of oot-binding and how hard
it was to get the Chinese mothers to
give up the practice and let their girls
have "boys feet" as they call an un-
bound girls foot. Yet she TOLD the
ladies that they had unbound all the
girls feet in their school, and that some
of those girls had now come to be
mothers and keepers of Christian
homes. She told of the glad hearts of
those women who were thus unbound,
not only in feet but in heart, from that
most barbarous and foolish custom.
She assured the ladies that these exam-
Piles of unbound feet were working a
great change in China, and the hope
was INDUCED that this custom, like the
burning of widows, would in the future
be done away.
Miss Cushman spoke while here in four
of our churches, greatly to the instruc-
ton and delight of the congregations.
The society enrolled during these meet
ings S6 new members, making q total
memberst ip in the district of 296 menu
bers. They raised over $3.50 for society
purposes. She addressed the large au-
dience of Union Church on Sabbath
night. Bishop Bowman was present
and said that he bad seen Miss Cush-
man and her school in China and fully
endorsed her school and work.
Miss Cushman left for Rolla on Nom
day morning, thence to Sprir rgfield,
thence TO Fort Scott, Kansas, where
she meets the Kansas Conference. She
then attends the st. Louis Conference.
which meets In Sedalia. She addresses
each of these conferences on the inter-
ests of her mission. The last Of the
month she returns to her home in
Massachusetts, and at once prepares for
her return to her fond work In the far
off land of China. Her heart is fully
in the work. and the society Is fortu-
nate in having such an able and earn>
est representative to send out. Others
are going With her and they together
will engage in the great work Of bring
ing the millions of China to better
and to the gospel of Christ.
Many of the women of Missouri win
feel more heart in this work because
they have seen and heard this able and
interesting missionary from foreign
ia nd.

scream Of delight, and, with a bound, was
across the room, standing beside a superb
piano.
ooh, Henry. where did this come from?
What a perfect beauty Is it really for
me? How can l ever thank you Pr
Conc question at a time, my dear; but
I will answer your last one first. You
have no right to thank me for this beautf-
full present. Here is the giyer," replied
Henry, going up to his mother, who had
stood a quiet spectator of my pleasure,
and putting his arm around her.
"3Iother! is it possible! Oh, you dar-
ling! how can lever thank you ?" cried
l, throwing my arms, too, around Mrs.
Giey and giving her a rapturous hug.
81 am well surrounded. I see" she said,
smiling on Us, proudly, and then added:
Il am glad you are pleased with your
piano, Mary, ana you shall repay me by
getting all the enjoyment from it that you
can"
1T is something I have wanted ever
since VIC were married. - said 1, .but
Henry could not quite afford it."
And now you have your hearts desire, .
said Henry, 'but at the expense of a little
SHINING, I am afraid. Do you remember
one evening, about two week ago, when
you found the parlor door locked? Mother
and I were holding a consultation when
you came, and l sent you after the watch
key to give her time to run away. came
very near telling a fb that night"
"Yes, > said his mother, "such planning
and plotting as we have had. The other
day when the man came to make the final
arrangements about bringing the piano.
you were down town, and | was SO afraid
that you would return unexpectedly; and
this afternoon they anne and put it up
while you were u driving. but I knew
Henry would not bring you home too
soon"
l felt myself turning sick and faint.
This, then, was the secret which had tor
mented me SO; these innocent plots and
plans prompted by loving hearts! What a
monster / was to have suspected this noble
woman Of any wrong?' l felt like humb-
ling myself in the dust before her.
Glow white You are, child. The excite
ment has been too much for you, " said
Mrs. Grey.
But I knew better. Still I kept my Sc
cret locked in my own heart; not by a
word would l let this gentle woman know
how I had been tempted to doubt her.
And now, this is the reason why l have
gradually dropped Miss Susan SINNERS
acquaintance. and why that worthy spin
ster often complains how ''dreadfully up
pish some folks have grown" but | am
only too glad to be able TO keep out of the
reach Of her tongue; and, in the absence OF
my husband. 1 find my greatesJ comfort
and delight in the society of my mother
