The Missionary rally held here last week
was an occasion long TO be remembers by
all who attended Those taking part in the

and were exceedingly interesting. The day
sessions were occupied with addresses by
Secretaries Merrill, Hood, Shelton and Pud-
defoot and by Miss Hartig, who has been
successfully laborng the past year in the
by-ways OF our own state. The subject of
all was Home Missionary Work." but
each presented his particular view of it as
gathered in the special work in which they
have been engaged. In the evening a large
audience was present to enjoy the stereop-
ticon views, illustrating varied scenes, but
all connected with the general subject of
missionary work. Secretaries Merrill and
Hood gave most interesting descriptions of
the views concerning their special work.

homes where he has spent much time, aud
