cultured ladies. Sisters of the People. The
more refined and cultured the better they are
adapted for the work. 1t is q mistake to sup
pose the persons of low social position and ed

the poor and struggling. These sisters como
from different sections Of the church-Pres-

verified and regularly meet in a Metho-

me to describe the ceaseless stream of activity
which Is flowing IN connection with that mis-
sion. These ladies are in every deed sisters of

As a direct result hundreds have been gathered

METHODIST BROTHERHOOD.
''As regards the Methods: brotherhood, this
department has not yet been fully developed.
A number of young men engaged in business
have been formed into brotherhood with o
view to Christian work in their leisure, and
this has been accompanied with much bless
ing. Ii Is thought that young men of wealth
and education, who are not definitely engaged
in business undertakings, may be formed into
a brotherhood for the direct purpose Of spiritual
work. In connection with the Bermondsey set

civilization ought to be employed for lifting
up those who have fallen. The chasm separat-
ing the wealthy from the poor is fearful In
some way this must be bri1ged over. We be-

They, Are Expected This Afternoon-sevsrity
Of the Storm on the River.
The storm OF Sunday night was the severest
known att the mouth Of the Potomac and in the
vicinity ofNorfolk for years. The high tide Of
yesterday morning, the highest for a long
time, did much damage at Ocean View. The
beach was cut away considerably and the porch
and boats Of the Bay View Club damaged. The
business yards and streets along the water
front of Norfolk and Portsmouth were badly
flooded.
Owing to the severity of the storm the
steamers Norfolk and Moseley have not reached
here vet. The steamer Norfolk of the Norfolk
and Washington line has been heard from in
the Rappahannock river, where she probably
went TO avoid the storm. A dispatch was re-
ceived here yesterday asking forassistance, but
the companys agent here said this morning
that he did not know the cause of the trouble but
that coal and provisions were sent to the over
due steamer on the steamer Washington, which
left here last evening for Norfolk. 1t was cur
rently reported along the line of the wharves
this morning that through Encouragement Of
some sort coal had given out on the steamer
Norfolk but the agent at tho wharf said he
could not tell whether such was the case or
not. The steamer is expected here this after
noon early enough to leave for Norfolk on
schedule time.
The steamer Jane Moseley, which was due
time on account Of the storm, but she is ex-
pected here late this afternoon or tomorrow
morning.
The steamers Washington and Lady of the
Lake passed through the storm all right and
reached here on time. Capt. Barker Of the
Lady OF the Lake said the storm was one of the
severest he had experienced in many years.

WOMEN AS MISSION WORKERS
an connection with the east branch Of the
London mission we have an organization of
lady workers or sisters" said the speaker.
The need for this is apparent. Only by much
visitation in the homes OF the people Is 1t pos
sible to secure an attendance upon the wor-
ships of the sanctuary. These ladies enter the
cellars and garrets; they confront the drunk
ards and sensualists in their homes of dissipa-
ton: they find out what is called the lower
stratum of society, the bats or owls of our
species. whose condition is unknown and in
many cases their very existence concealed. and
vet these people were created in the image OF
God and bear the stamp of immortality. These
ladies administer timely help to the poor and
suffering.
.'One of the particular features Of the mis-
sion which have the honor to represent is its
care for the bodily and social needs of the
people, well as their spiritual necessities
Childrens meetings are held, open air SER
vices are conducted. mothers meetings ar

girls and others receive careful training and
oversight All kinds of agencies are employed
for lifting the burden of suffering from our
poor humanity. The effect of all this is ap-
parent in the changed neishborhood. in homes
made better. in thousands of children having
their lives frightened and the effect upon the
sisters themselves is to promote spirit of
cheerfulness and joy iE their work. They re-
fuse to have their work referred to as u sacri-
fee for they consider il the greatest Joy of
their lives TO be privileged to minister to the
needy.
