10 tho Ladies' Mt the First Presbyterian
Church Ysstsrdny Afternoon.
There was number of ladies present
yesterday afternoon at the First Pres
byterian church, to meet Mrs. DR.. Lind
say, OF GLASGOW, Scotland, an active
christian worker Of that city, and hear
her address on the work OF christian
women IN GLASGOW. Mrs. DR.. Cunning
ham, who introduced Mrs. Lindsay in
few well chosen remarks, said that
Wheeling people were fortunate to have
present with them one OF the represent
atives OF that grand council in Toronto,
Can, which represented 100000
christian people, one who stood promi-
nent in her own country as an active
worker in the christian field, being
closely associated in the work with
Lady Aberdeen, and also daughter OF
Murray Dunlop, a member OF parlia-
ment OF whom Hon. William L. Glad
stone said, mo other man, who had
ever crossed the border, had done so
much good"
Mrs. Lindsay prefaced her remarks
by expressing her pleasure in this
meeting, then giving general describ-
ton OF the big convention in Canada,
and speaking OF some OF her observa-
tons in America, with its vast strides
OF improvements, great papers and
magazines. She confined her remarks
to the women's work in GLASGOW, with
its 10000 inhabitants. She stated that
although it was considered the best
governed city in the world, there was
still great deal OF sin and suffering,
and she showed how this was overcome
BY the noble work OF charitable chris
tian women who formed representa-
tive committee 10 hold consultations
with each other for the welfare of the
people, similar to a telephone ex.
change" as they were always in COM
munication. The committee is formed
by the leaders OF the various noble in
stitutions interested in charitable
work, the Young Woman's Christian
Association, the Christian Endeavor
Unions, the training school and the va
rious missionary societies. She des-
cribed the workings OF the training
schools and told how the girls were
taught to cook and sew, and taught the
various domestic necessities. The
unique custom OF the hiring OF the
girls by farmers and getting places for
them in families was related. These
the committee continued to look after,
seeing that they we're satisfied.
In the missionary efforts great good
was done. She described their efforts
in the police court to elevate the poor
unfortunates met there. The girls clubs
Mas another subject that the women OF
Glasgow looked after. Those were
necessity to the working girls in that
city, where they were paid such low
wages, while in this country she did
not hear OF any girls clubs outside of
one in New York city, because they
were paid much better and higher
wages. In these clubs they have music,
literature and singing classes, and varl-
GUS amusements and useful exercises
for the attendants.
She closed with an eloquent descrip-
ton OF the mothers meetings, and the
large meeting at the Great Hall of Glas-
COW, presided over by Lady Aberdeen,
where was assembled some of the great
divines and the mightiest intellects OF
the world, all held in the bonds OF I'M
ison that bind ali the people Of the Lord.
Mrs. Lindsay had the profound interest
OF all present throughout the entire ad-
dress by her charming personality and
the clear aud precise manner in which
she described everything. She possesses
a sweet and low, penetrating voice,
which charmed her hearers.
