The.eport on "Wcman's Work
was presented by Elder Thomas
Pritchard, of North Carolina.
This report was full of startling
facts, discussed by Prltchard, of
n, c., Ellis, of Baltimore, Md,
and Il. T. Eaton, Of Louisville,
Ky. In America last year 4,00O,-
600 were paid for Foreign Mis-
sions, and women gave $3,000,-
900, or three-lourths of the whole.
The women OF the South gave one
fifth Of the whole. The women
control only one-hundreth part Of
property, and arc giving twenty
times rs much as the men il pro-
portion. II men gave as women
do, they would give $50, 900, 900,
thus sending $4,000 foreign ms
sionares. Should not the men
hang their heads IN shame? Yes,
OF seek to obtain more grace, or
at least some religion. So few
men, however, pay any thing for
Christ or his work.
The report of the Centennial
| Commission was read and adopted,
looking to and providing for, in
1892, a celebration OF the Centen-
NAL of Baptist Missions at kitter-
ing, England. Won't this be 4
jubilee for Bapiists?

is true that wine has been furnished at
