EVENING SESSION,

There was a large attendance at the
evening closing session. After the sing
ing of the hymn the scripture lesson was
read from Psalms TX, by Rev. Mr.. Her
ring of Brandon, followed by prayer by
Rev. Mr.. Scott of Pownal.
Rev. Alexander McGeorge, the State
missionary, then delivered an interesting
address. He spoke of the work of the
past G3 years ard the possibilities of the
next 63 years among the Baptist churches
of Vermont The elements of success
were referred to in detail. The first
of these was Christian helpfulness which
was above money. a church is not 10
keep by itself for we are as individuals de-
pendent upon one another. There Is a
great deal of latent power in our churches
to-day. The speaker then related in
stances of young men becoming workers
in the vineyard, who were led by word
into their work.
Another element of success may be
termed studlousness. The use of tracts
are TO be commended and studiousness in
the church membership is to be encour
aged.
Earnestness is an essential element OF
successful Christian work. We need 10
preach the word so that the members
of the churches will be quickened and &c
out and take sinners by the hand, saying,
come, stand with us and be servants of the
Lord Jesus Christ. When | stood out
here on your green and listened to the
speakers at the great republican rally
thought why cannot we minlste get re-
iigous truths into our hearts so that
We can exhibit equal earnestness. We
need the continued help of the Divine
spirit in our work.
Rev f.. o. Stevens, returned mission
AIRY, spoke in an interesting manner on
the work in Burmah, and other parts of
the world, and the lights aud shades of a
missionary's life. He dealt first with the
dark side and the Inconvenience. The
speaker related Instances of the difficulty
of travelling in the East. During midday
the sun was so hot that 1t was impossible
to travel, and then after rest is obtain ed,
when heather is spoken to it is most dis
couraging after you have talked a long
time to have him say, Yes, but cannot
believe. If we could only leave the relig-
ion OF our fathers, but If they went down

Self Help For Women.

Women are outgrowing the old habit of complete
and dlsgracefu dependence; they are learning the
lesson of self help.
The number of employments open to women is
steadily increasing, and it is impossible to say that
the future may not see as great change as the i'm
mediate past has seen, The tendency of modern
society is, in Napoleon Bonaparte's phrase, 'to
convert all trades into arts" and just so fast as
this process goes on, rude strength becomes less
essential, and fneness of touch is more needed.
Among the higher occupations there are some gaps
which will soon be filed The tenth census of the
United States gives 2, 432 women as physicians and
surgeons, and only forty-eight as chemists,
assayers, and metallurgists" whereas the latter
vocation would seem to follow easily on the former.
1t gives only seventeen women as architects, where
as domestic architecture would seem employment
peculiarly fitted, at least in its indoor aspects,
to that sex. 1t certainly seems absurd that they
should forever 60 on calling in male advisers to
tell them how many shelves to have in pantry,
or where to set the wash tubs in laundry. But
it is needless to give details of employment; Just
as far as the demand for an intelligent self support
exists, so far the opportunities will be equalized
between the sexes, and more and more places will
be found 'higher up for women. The great

THE WOMEN OF THE NATION.

During that great brthright Of the republic, the
revolution the women played no mean or unim-
portant part. For example: "Ihe women cast
bullets for their husbands, sons or brothers to
carry to Bunker Hill; and throughout the reyolu-
ton the women carried on the farms, cut and
hauled wood and kept the wolf from the door
Their whole lives were passed in strengthening the
hands of the men, And the writer here forgot
still more essential part performed by the women,
which was the rearing of new recruits to FILL the
bleeding and broken ranks of the colonial army.
They patched the well-worn garments of their
loved ones their husbands, sons and brothers, and
sent them forth, with tears and prayers, to fight
for their countrys freedom, while they stayed at
home and with more prayers and tears and bitter
hardships kept up the fires upon the home affairs.
Afterwards, when the blessed light of freedom
dawned upon our country, it is notcably true that
no man babe her come to higher seat no voice
was raised above the changing of liberty bells, the
beating of drums or the shouts of victorious pa
trots, to say, "Come you too have wrought in
this glorious Puar''le for life and liberty come
and share with us the freedom we have won; if
ours is the glory, yours is the praise, and we will
build together, upon the foundation so dearly laid
nation the like of which the world has never be.
fore heard Alas, the opportunity was lost and
soon the hum of the spinning wheel was the only
voice from the woman's side to attest that her half
of the nation was still there. But the hum grows
stronger day by day, and ere long the voice of
this multitude will be knocking at the nations
door with the request, I too, wish to be heard. )"
And when it is seen how great is the multitude,
the lords of the nation will bid them enter

INDEPENDENT WOMEN.

There is a certain class of people who entertain
view that independence in young women is not
desirable The reason is because it is apt to pre-
clude their marrying. Now this ought to be the
reason for encouraging independence.
A great deal of time is at present consumed by
man in putting asunder whom God hath joined to-
gether, and to thinking woman it must occur
that the best way to get out of trouble is to keep
out A young woman who is capable of earning
her own living is apt to think several times before
she gives up her liberty. The estimate she puts
on man is reckoned from higher standard than
if she married because she must be taken care of.
The young woman who has ideas of her own,
backed up by her knowledge of the value of dol
lar has practical view of life, and is saved from
unlearning great deal that comes before her
vision when her standpoint overlooks the ideal.
Men will be better as soon as woman demands
it, and when the time comes in which woman
fully recognizes her own power, the divorce court
will have fewer applicants. Let the young women
be Independent; it will make their characters
stronger, the men will aspire TO be better, the
marriage vow will be something more than cere-
mony, and the world will advance to higher
plane, socially morally and Intellectually.

Temperance in the Indian Territory.

EDITOR OF WoMAN's CHRONICLE: The W. Z. l.
T. of Indian Territory held their first territorial
convention at Muskogee, July 18th and 18TH, MIS-.
S. NJ Perkins, national organizer, presiding.
The convention elected the following officers;
President, Mrs Jane Stapler, Talequah; cores
ponding secretary Mrs. Tennie G. Fuller, Tale
quah; recording secretary, Mrs. Rev. Myatt, El-
faula and several vice presidents Mrs. H. e.
Murrow of Atoka, was appointed territorial Or
ganizer and superintendent of juvenile work.
On the last afternoon colored local union was
formed, and Mrs. Casey, of Muskogee, was ap-
pointed territorial organizer of colored work.
The convention though not large was very lively,
and much deep interest was manifested. MIS-.
Perkins has labored six weeks in the country,
holding in all forty meetings, organizing several
unions In the president it is believed we have
obtained woman specially fitted for the work and
calculated to do much in the development OF the
temperance cause in the territory.
We append the resolution adopted by the con-
vention:
sRecognizing the fact that we are Christian
organization, and that in this lies our strength.
Therefore, resolved Q) That we make our evan
gelistic department our first and greatest work,
striving to bring our people up to higher stand
ard of conservation and faith, and desiring to es-
tablsh the kingdom of Christ upon the earth
establishing under this head work among sinners
and soldiers and also among fallen women. (2)
That a committee of five be appointed, one from
each tribe, to confer with the superintendent of
public schools and boards of education in those
nations, and strive to induce them to introduce
temperance text books in the schools, that our
children may be taught the deeterious effect OF
alcohol on the human system. (3) That we petit
ton the Secretary of Interior to investigate the
continued sale of liquor to citizens of Indian Ter
ritory from Texas and adjoining states (4) Re-
cognizing the boundless influence for good or evil
in the power of young women, we deem it of the
highest Importance that special attention be given
to the work of enlisting them in our cause, and
that the superintendent of juvenile work be re-
quested to incorporate this with her work, as far
as practicable, where regular unions cannot be
formed. (5) We recommend that superintend-
ent of juvenile work be appointed by the commit
tee, and also coored superintendent of work
among that race. (6) That territorial organizer
be appointed, she in turn having power to appoint
an assistant in each tribe as the demands of the
work may require, CD That we will stand by the
national union in its promise to lend its influence
to home protectors, also for free ballot regardless

The latest social success in London is the new
Duchess of Marlborough, formerly Mrs. Ham
mersley, of New York She is the idol of the hour
in British society. The lawyers upon the other
side of the Atlantic being absolute in confirming
the legality of her marriage, she has been accepted
by the old families of the kingdom She has also
in her favor the friendship of the Dowager
Duchess, her mother-in-law. Yet there is one
point her grace cannot reach; the queen will never
receive her, because of her being married to man
who is divorced. The queens position in regard
to divorced persons admits of no compromise, and
the American duchess will be obliged to make the
best of this one small defeat.

IT is said that woman would lose by mingling in
public affairs that delicacy of demeanor, which is
her most peculiar charm. Do those who say this
believe that the woman of an eastern harem, who
rarely appears in the outer world, and never ua-
less closely yelled and guarded. is more delicatey
modest than the woman of America? A woman
may receive from her Creator the divine gift OF
song and sing in public; would any sensible per-
son think of raising the cry of immodesty because
of such singing?

pools and trusts, formed with the object
Of raising price-that is, of restricting
production. They have not been dealt
with yet by law because politicians
have estopped themselves from denying
that prices made a1tificially high are II
good thing. The higher the price the
higher the wages its production con AT
ford to pay. Hence when lords of in
dustry combine in America to raise
prices they. always put out a new wage
card along with the new price-card,
raising wages in the same ratio that
they raise their prices. These meet
ings of employers to raise wages are
unknown outside our favored country
They are the direct outcome of the tar
iff. the protective features of which
alone make these wage. trusts and wage
pools possible. 1t il this beautiful and
ingenious feature of our system, too,
that makes labor combinations nee dIess
here, and spares US the spectacle of
those strikes Of which we occasionally
hear among the pauper population OF
Europe. The profits, for example, of
the Iron and Steel Association the past
year have been considerably more than
double what they were the year before.
AS prices rose the association raised its
wnges mt the same rate, which it would
not have been able to do but for these
clauses in the iron and steel tariff which
were enacted for the protection of
American labor. Unless all this did
take Place as recited above, then the
claim that American labor was protected
by the import duty is nonsense, and
the pretense that it was mpapt to be
protected becomes a quite transparent
lie.
AS we recall the events of the past
year more carefully we seem to remem-
her that what did happen was this:
After steel had risen to the importing
point, and large imlorlations were actu-
ally III progress, the men did demand n
10 per cent advance in wages. The
companies resisted it--DaturulIy. The
men struck naturally. Then they got

prices will recede to the importing
point. Production will 90 on till IA
