to the Episcopal Council,
AT CALVARY CHURCH, EAST EN-
Interesting Talks by Those Directly from
the Fields of Labor.
BISHOPS WHO TELL WHAT THEY WANT

Wnen IL is known Wnat splend1d WORK tnese
noble women are doing in behalf Of theii
sisters in the heathen lands of the world.
Missionary work seems to be pre-eminently
women's work, and they have taken hold oi
it with determination that to no laxity Of
theirs can be ascribed the slow progress Of
the Christianizing OF the universe.
There were talks interesting and instruct
i've, and eloquent appeals were made for
the means to push forward the work of send
ing missionaries and teachers to the Dark
Continent and Oriental countries, where the
word of God is unknown and where so
much is needed to enlighten the people to a
knowledge of the Bible. All present were
greatly interested in the talks OF those from
the scene of their missionary labors both in
foreign and home fields.
Bishop Leonard, OF Utah, was the first
! speaker, and as usual made most interest
ing address. He said at the opening: "Not
long ago was driving with couple of my
friends, and the husband and wife began
discussing how best to sharpen knife.
They decided that emery was the best, and
I think that the best way to whet our
missionary zeal is to have our Emery"
The Bishop followed with a glowing tribute
to the efficient services of Miss Julia Emery,
the Secretary of the Ladies' Auxiliary, and
told what splendid work she had done in his
diocese. Continuing, he said:
DEMAND FOR A DEACoNEss
"This is diocesan meeting, and will
not talk about myself or my work. Now, at
these auriliarv D,aaYinoe ,ro ro;,,;oro,r
bishops are often asked what we want I'll
tell you what want. want good woman
"a deaconess. can't conceive of place in
the world where good woman can do as
much good work as in my diocese. 1 will
hunt Tor an intelligent, consecrated woman,
because we so much need her out there. 1
must have something like deaconess who
can preach the gospel such as only q woman
can. Now, if you know of such a woman
just send me word. Not too many, however.
L asked for teacher, and got so many re-
plies that thought all the women in the
country wanted to be teachers. 1t made me
try to think how many grand and noble
women there are in the world"
Bishop Talbot. of Wyoming and Idaho
was the next speaker, and he proceeded at
once to make his manifold wants known, be-
cause he knew that he had found a good
place to plead for the cause of missions.
I'VE are building hospital up there in
my diocase, at Wallace. We have the
building inclosed and already several
patients have been received. In Wallace
there are 1,700 miners, and scarcely day
passes that one of them is not injured. The
building needs to be completed and we need
about 81 900 to do that. After it is finished
the hospital will be self-supporting. The
,,,sp srrri1l rriv
be sick or not. This will take care Of the
hospital at all times.
"Iefore left home let q contract for
school for Indians. have 5000 in hand
and the contract calls for S6,625. Now
when the contractor reaches the 81. 900 he
will stop unless have the balance, and
would like to say to him, to 90 on and finish
the building. One more thing. Our work
is growing there, because the Territories
have become States. We now have 80
elergymen and only had eight at the start.
I must take six more back with ME, or send
them ahead Of me.
HOURLY NEED OF A HOSPITAL.
ST am allowed s., 900 per year for the SUD-
port of my clergymen, beside what they re-
ceive from their churches. l must have 50, 500
more, and would like to have anyone pledge
to pay me from S5 to any sum per annum in
the support OF my clergymen. Ny hospital
is needed every hour, my Indian school is
rapidly nearing completion and my clergy
fund always demands replenishing Now,
my friends, when you ask yourselves the
question where out in the Rocky Mountain
region dollar will do the most good, send
it on, for what may seem to you small sum
will, assure you, be great benefit
AS the missionaries had had their say and |
told what they most stand In need OF, the |
great replenishers of the different funds. the |
ladies were given chance to say a word !
and tell how all these little sums that will |
aggregate quite an amount are to be raised. |
Mrs. Tuttle. wife of the Bishop of Mime |
soto, told of the organization that
has been found to be great money
the Missionary Host, and is com
posed of children. But strange to say. this
is entirely in charge of the laymen Of the
church. They do all the work and make all
the arrangements. Year after year
the Missionary Host has held its
annual meetings in the great cathe-
dral at st. Paul, but it has grown so that
the church has proved to be too small.
First, all the parents were kindly invited to
absent themselves, and give away entirely
to the children. But even this failed to
suffice, for still the church was filled to over
flowing. This year the large auditorium of
the st. Paul Exposition was secured. This
will accommodate nearly 5000. There the
grand meeting was held. The bishops and
clergy stood on the platform while the bands
of missionary children marched in. each
singing its own professional, until the great
auditorium was filled. Seven choirs were
present, and one was composed entirely of
little negroboys.
A WORD FOB THE JUNIOR AUXILIARY.
Mrs. McCauley, of Detroit spoke in be-
half of the Junior Auxiliary. She said the
children should be taught about the mission.
ary work, and it is very difficult to find
teachers who are able to tell them what
they should know. Mrs McCauley said she
had thought that there was quite a band of
little missionaries in Detroit when there
were 700 in attendance at their annual meet
ing, but after attending the meeting of the
Junior Auxiliary at Carnegie Hall and hear
ing OF Mrs. Tuttle's band, she decided that
she would have to return home and do
better.
Miss Smiley, Of Albany, is at the head of
the Society for the Home Study of the
Scriptures. She said that while money is
needed, good women are needed more.
Speaking about the study Of the Bible, she
said she found a good many who would
write Acts of the Apostles with q "little a."
Bible with little b" and Church with
little c." After awhile she taught them to
write capital letters, and then she thought
she was doing capital work. She said that
when she found ladies who do not read their
Bible often enough she had to teach them to
write it with capital to hold it more high
ly, and then she was working in the A B 9
of the religious life.
