THE MISSION FIELD.

The BIBLE IN MADAGAsCAR.-
Some time since a society was formed in
AntananarivO, the capital of Madagascar,
for the distribution of the Scriptures at a
cheap rate 20 the people in the distant pro-
vinces, and in January a public meetiLg
was held to make its claims and character
better known. A notice of the meeting
was sent, as matter of course to the Pal
ace Church, and thus came under the notice
OF the Queen and the Prime Minister, who
showed much interest in the matter, and
attended the meeting, which was very en-
thusiastic. The chair was occupied by Mr..
ii. F.. Clark, of the Friends Mission, who
is president of the Association Rev w.
h. Cousins gave details of the work of the
British and Foreign Bible society. and was
followed by Radaniela (Mr Daniela), the
senior native tutor at the l.. M. S. College,
and chairman this year of the Imerina
congregational Union and Native Mission
airy Society. He spoke most earnestly and
eloquently of the good the Bible had done
In lmerina, the central PROVENCE of NADIA
gascar. Rev. r. Baron l.. NJ. S.. the last
speaker, enlarged upon the responsibility
OF lmerina that is, the Hovas) to send the
Bible to the distant tribes-Tbe Chyisttu5,.
The returns of the late census
of India show that, while among the non
Christian population only thirty eight per
cent. of the boys of school going age are
actually receiving education, the proper
tioD among the native Christian bows is
siXty-one per cent; also that a much larger
number of the native Christian youth now
go forward to the university standard than
formerly At the first arts examination of
the Madras University they are said to have
beaten even the Brahmans i'm the propor-
uonate number of passes. The director of
public instruction in Madras in his last re.
port says, concerning the native Christian
community: There can be no question if
TINS community pursues with steadiness
the present policy of its teachers that 10
VIII secure prepOnderating position in
all the great professions and, possibly, too,
in the industrial enterprise Of the coun-
try" The London Times, referring to
these facts, says: "This is q state of things
simple incOuceivable i'm an Indian presi.
dency half century ago. When English
men OF EnglishwOmen feel inclined to
doubt whether their aid to Indian missions
is productive of results, they can comfort
themselves by the reflection that although
the results may not be exactly what they
had in their minds, they are more solid and
have wider reach than the great Indian
missionaries of the last generation would
have yentured to anticipate"
The Church Of Scotland Mission
Reeord says In Sumatra the Rhenish
Mission is having good success. Four new
stations were recently founded, and at two
OF them the first fruits have been gathered
l46 having been baptized and 500 being
under instruction as inquirers. Ats1me of
the older stations there have also been
many baptisms, and last October six native
teachers were ordained as pastors

Major Robert D. Martin

Died at his home in the town of Salem,
Va, on the 9Th day of April, 1892, lacking
but few hours of reaching his Goth year.
Major Martin was born and raised in
Pulaski county, Va. He lived in Pulaski
the greater portion of his life having
moved to Roanoke about eight years ago.
In 1880 he became president of the Salem
Loan and Trust Co." position which he
occupied to the time of his death.
Major Martin was man of courage,
honesty integrity and fxedness of pur-
pose. He was straightforward in ali his
dealings, nor could he bear assembling, or
anything that savOred of deceit
He was a gallant soldier and fought
bravely for the land he loved so well, but
when peace was pronounced he quietly
left the field and again entered the quiet
and peaceful pursuits of civic life.
lie was twice married; his first wife
died in 1868, his second wife he leaves a
widow to mourn the loss of kind, atten-
Ative, atfectionate husband
II He was a true, sincere, upright, consci-
encious man; man who, being true to
himself, knew he could not then do wrong
| to any man. He was a follower of the
meek and lowly Jesus; he not only followed
him, but in his life he tried to initiate the
example of his Saviour.
lie was many years an elder in the Lau-
rel Hill Presbyterian church of Pulaski
His religion was life, fact; he lived as
he thought; he transacted business as he
prayed he realized that he was a steward
OF the Most High, and endeavored in all
his acts to be faithful steward His
death has been great loss to our com.

ones he leaves behind Major r. D. Mar.

of a laxative to try Ayers Pills"
Boothbay (NIe.), Register.
Between the ages of five and fifteen,
1 was troubled with a kind of salt
rheum, or eruption, chiefly confined to
the legs, and especially to the bend of
the knee above the calf. Here, running
sores formed which would Scab over,

rows OF bereayed home she never doubt
ed the ; isdOm or goodness of God that
sent the Gttliction.
AS member of the church she was al
ways in her place in the sanctuary, unless
providentially prevented. She sought
most of all to be a growing Christian.
On the frs days of her sickness, in her
own empha ic way, she said to her hus-
band, If j get well do so much want to
be better Christian. and | hope we can
do more for the cause of Christ"
Her last sickness was borne with great
patience and Christian fortitude, and
though she had much to live for that is
dear to the heart of Christian wife, moth
er, daughter and sister, yet when informed
that there was no hope of her recovery,
she accepted the circumstances with the
simplicity of child, meekly suffering and
listening with an effort of suppressed at
tentiOn TO some of the promises of the Sa-
viour quoted b, her pastor who was with
her during her last hours. The dying hour
and the struggling breath made no change
in her. Death never finds such Christians
unprepared. She was ready, though she
seemed to have promise of a longer life.
AS in her life, so in her death. she never
forgot those she loved and her last words
were an expression of her interest in those
she left behind and hope that they might
meet her in heaven, where she has gone to
meet and join the loved ones gone before,
and where at the beautiful gate" she is
watching and waiting" for the loved ones
left behind. 1t is the common expression
OF every one that a beautiful earthly life
has ended and another one of His children,
taken away from the troubles and sorrows
of this world, has entered into rest.
Surely for such Christian ito die is gain.

directions, and in about a week the appear

A HANDSOME STORE.
A CREDIT TO AUSTIN AND ITS PRO-
PRIETORs.
Graham Andrews, The Druggi SITS, in
Their New Quarters at No. 9l2
Congress Avenue-A Com
plete Store.

Graham d Andrews, one of the old
est and most popular firms in the city,
have moved from their old stand, No.
OF Congress avenue, to the opposite
sile of the street at No. 912. They
have elegantly fitted up their quar-
ters in the large and spacious build
ing of which they occupy the first and
second floors. This firm has been in
the drug business for the past eighteen
wears, and their enterprise and
straig ightforward way of doing busi-
ness has made the name of Graham
d Andrews one we'll and favorably
known.
Their new store is model of neat
ness, their furniture and fixtures
being of the most attractive design,
and made from black walnut, and
with the walls and ceilings covered
with rich paper of the latest pattern,
it makes one of the most at
tractive stores in the city. TO
the right of the entrance
space has been fixed up for the ac-
commodation of ladies, who can rest
themselves in an easy chair while
they wait for prescriptions to be
filled. This corner has been nicely
carpeted and furnished and will no
doubt be appreciated by the women
folks. A number of incandescent
lights are arranged on either side of
the room almost concealed in the rich
moulding of the heavy walnut side
cases, and when lit cast forth light
Hu;o nnNy,, fhn m
of the room, suspended from the CELL
ing are also two large drop gas lights.
On the counters, which extend back
to the prescription department on
both sides, are numerous large show
cases filled with fancy toilet goods and
articles usually to be found in first
class drug stores. The laboratory oc-
cupies large space in the rear part
of the room and is arranged in con-
venient manner.
Mr.. j. r. Workman, who is well
known to the citizens of Austin as a
chemist of fine ability, has charge of
this department. 1t might be well to
state in this connection that the
greatest caution is used in filling pre-
scriptions. They make a speciality of
this branch of the business. On the
second floor the heavy goods are kept,
such as paints, oils, varnish, window
glass, ETC., of which they have a very
large and complete stock. DR.. Math-
ews has neatly fitted up office in the
front room. 1t has cost large amount
of money to fix up this store in the
manner they have, but as the firm OF
Graham & Andrews are progressive
and believe in keeping pace with the
city they have made it one of the
handsomest as we'll as best equipped
drug houses in the state, and will be
credit to the capital city when she
has 100000 souls within her limits
Their stock of goods is also complete
and in keeping with the refreshing
appearance of the surroundings.
THE STATESMAN takes pleasure in
noting the advancement of firms in
this city, as it shows healthy condi'
tion of affairs and bespeaks prosperity
