Thank Offering s.

Mrs. ]. d. Jones of Cincinnati was
introduced and spoke on the subject
of thank offerings. She favored
changing the time OF collecting the Of
fering t the spring time. She made
powerful plea for generous thank Of
fering for mercies received. She said
when | realize that the Indian wo-
man has been driven TO the most OBJ
scure and distant cooner of her Cum
try and that | am living on the fat OF
her land | am humbled 10 the dust.
And the people of the south-lf we
were to work for centuries we could
not undo the great wrongs We have
done them. The color of the skin is
an unimportant matter. 1t is the color
Of the heart that tells. We sometimes
say that we are not sinners, but when
realize the blessings that have been
showeTed upon me feel that | am SIM
ming every moment that / am not
working for the Master. If / am any
better-lf we are any better than these
people 1t is simply because we have
been born and reared of christian par
ents." At the close of her remarks
she introduced motion provid-
ing that the last Friday In
April be named as a thank
offering day. After considerable DIS
cussion the motion was passed after
having been amended so rs TO provide
That that day shall be designated as
the time TO forward the fund to the
general secretary.
A resolution was introduced express
ing the desIrabllity of establishing Il
uniform thank offering day and the
fol owing committee was selected for
the purpose of recommending a day.
