Surer, teacher, and an untiring worker
In all. By her efforts, supplemented
by those of her noble husband, DR.. j. S.
Meyer, this wonderful work was organ
lied and carried on from a mustard-seed
beginning of four students six years
ago to its present proportions Of lis
pupils, two large buildings here and the
Wesley hospital on the South side,

in the vineyard, besides the remarka-

This was accomplished in large
measure, in its beginning at least, by
the same bright idea that Miss Willard
later turned 10 account in securing by
penny banks the great sum Of money
to build the Woman's temple.
Small collection books were scattered
broadcast through the land, each con-
tanning a clipping from one OF Mrs.
Meyers papers read before a preachers
meeting, when she was agitating the
deaconess movement. The clipping
read:

There was, as in Miss Wizards case,
a generous response, and since by solic-
itations, lectures and procuring other
subscriptions the present property be-

So says Miss Frances Willard in her

The captain is avery interesting char
acter. He is man of fixed purposes,
very hard to turn from the object which
he has in view. He has made the sub
jcct of small boat sailing such n study
that he is prepared to meet every arg,l-
ment against the risks which spring to
the minds of his critic. vet the New
York Herald put the case in nutshell
when it said: THE fact that Capt An
drews can cross the ocean in a cookie
shell merely proves that small boats are
safe when a Capt. Andrews sails them.
Amateurs should remember this when
the wind begins TO sing"
The captain himself says that "half
the people who are drowned lose their
lives because they do not realize that
boat cannot sink. An iron vessel might.
or ship loaded with heavy cargo,
but row boat, sail boat or ordinary
wooden vessel may capsize, but will,
nevertheless, float. The passengers on
the great ocean steamers run some risk
when they go to sea, but all around the
deck they see wooden boats hung up on
which they are Taught to depend for
their lives if the big steamer goes down.
These boats are often crushed against
