WARNING TO MEN.
Mrs. A. L. Prindle. matron of the
Florence Crittenden Mission of New
York, told briefly of her work there. She
is motherly looking woman, with an
unusually sympathetic voice. She wanted
to warn the young men in the audience
and the older men too, for that matter,
how they treated motherless girls. There
was no better tool of Satan in the world
than these poor victims when they once
became discouraged and despaired. The
work of reclaiming fallen women in New
York was going on gloriously. How could
man hope to go to heaven when he
helped to send these souls TO helll
SAVING GIRLS FROM RUIN.
Mrs. Luella Jenkins. who is in charge
of the deacOncss work of the Methodist
Episcopal church in New York, gave ten
minutes talk of interest. For the past
two years "a court missionary has been

courts and taking charge of girls charged
with petty offenses, who are not aban-
doned, but who are wild and in i'm
mediate danger of falling rapidly.
A CoLoRED MIssIoNARY's WORK.
G.. w, Moore, a colored missionary
among his own race, gave a brief account
of his work. He is from Washington, and
has done most of his work in and about
that city. 1--WE ask our friends of the
southland he said, "to help re-
move the ignorance and degrada-
tion from the masses. We want gospel
missions. We look forward to the time
when we will settle our problems under
Calvary's cross. This is not political
problem, not an airing of our grievance.
II you go to thej jails and the penitentiar-
les, you will see how many colored people
are there who have erred, but whose
hearts are touched with love. How can
we lift them up9 We certainly want
schools and churches"
RESCUE MISSION WORK.
''The Rescue Mission Work'i was the
subject of Col. Fl. H. Hadley, of New
York. He had hardly spoken when he
pointed to the rear Of the house and said:
Madam, don't take that baby out, l can
holler louder than it can holler.P The
speaker showed a book of thirty-one SER
monettes, which were given those who
were converted a. his mission. They
were to be read page day. Tracts
were never given these converts. One of
the serrnonettes was entitled "The True
Snake Story, or the Real Cure for Drunk
ennesS"
THE KELLY CURE.
Col. Hadley, at this point, wanted to
say something about the Kecly cure 1t
might have brought many souls to
Christ, but it was like bromide of potas-
sium for steadying the nerves, the bene-
ficiary gave the potassium the credit and
overlooked God. The Keely cure was not
so effective, anyhow. He knew of many
men it had driven crazy. At
his mission the tune "Going
back TO Dixie" was often used
There was just one air better than that,
and it was Dixie itself. Applause
In Atlanta, as elsewhere, there were
plenty of places to reform them He
would advise mission to be started here.
and 80 Decatur street was the location
He would rent the whole building for
that purpose. Applause. In a rescue
mission, politics and denomination were
never mentioned Hope on tap was al
ways served there.
ROUGH ON THE CITY COUNCIL.
Ex-Capt. Withers, of the Atlanta Sal
vation Army. arose and said: IF you
want to do mission work here you should
start with the iniquity among the mem
bers of the city council" Loud APP
plause.
Tracey McGregor, young man, but a
fluent and interesting speaker, told Of the
Helping Hand Mission of Detroit LOdg-
ing was furnished homeless people. No
one could sleep there until he had been
subjected 10 a good bath. After the
nights rest breakfast was furnished.
The building is purposely located in
community where there are saloons and
where people lead sinful lives
LED BY A WOMAN.
In the absence Of Elijah p Brown, Of
indianapolis, Ind. the. afternoon deVo-
tional exercises were conducted by Miss
Bertha Wright, Of Ottawa, Canada. A
large gathering was on hand and the
crowd even filed the upper balconies Of
the bulldlng.
Col Hadley prayed that sectionalism
might be destroyed, and that
Christianity might rule in the
hearts Of all men; that the feel
ings of the south and the feelings Of the
north might become through Jesus Christ
the feelings of a common country. Col.
Hadley sang "I'm Going Back to Jesus"
TO the tune Of Dixie.
Rev. Charles Herald, Of Brooklyn, dis
coursed on the Bethesda mission people
Mr. Herald said that he had given up
evangelistic work TO start a peoples
church in Brooklyn. Brooklyn was a
beautiful city, but unhappily wicked
one. 1t was under the-control OF a boss and
a ring and was not as a city given to wor-
ship Of God. In New York and Brooklyn,
continued the speaker, the power of satan
is daily becoming stronger and stronger,
and the influence of the church weaker
and weaker.
THE NEEDS OF FRANCE.
In a manner which indicated the state
Of her feelings, Mrs. De Broen began her
talk France, she stated, had a popula-
tion of 81, 900, 900 Of people. Out of that
number there were scarcely / ,000, 900 Prot
estants. France had once been grand
and powerful country She was that no
longer because the gospel Of Jesus Christ
had been repudiated. Mrs. De Broen
had labored among the French commun-
lists for nearly twenty-three years. Medi-
cal missions had been established among
the poor Of France, as that was the most
