"Uncle Toms Cabin"

While no one should underestimate the
great services of men like Garrison and
Phillips and Parker and Sumner, who
cast their fortunes into the effort to free
the slave, it is the truth to say that all
their efforts were but a drop in the bucket
compared with the stir and power that
were in "Uncle Toms Cabin Never in
human history has work devoted to
great cause had such an instantaneous
effect. Byron came down to breakfast
one morning and found himself famous,
and Mrs. Stowe, hoping that the sale of
her story might relieve her poverty, found
herself in receipt of $4,000 within four
months from the time of its publication,
and the most famous woman living. 1t
was enough to turn the head OF any one
to meet with this success, but it had been
written in her hearts blood, and she felt
that she was an instrument in the hands
of God. In all, she received for "Uncle
Toms Cabin" about $40, 900, and had
she been able to avail herself of English
and foreign copyrights she might have
heen one of the richest women living.
The right of dramatization would alone
have brought her fortune, to say moth
ing of what the story itself would have
done, but this was not to be, and it is
painful fact that she leaves her family to-
day in comparative poverty Kew

Junior c. E. Rally.

Tent Wiliston at Washington, July
IL, was the Mecca Of all who were
especially interested in Junior work, but
large as it was, the crowd of child-lovers
was larger and wailings of regret went
up from those who had failed to secure
tickets or presented them only to find
the vast auditorium full to overlooking.
The front was reserved for Junior
societies from surrounding towns, and
very pretty they looked with their
bright faces and coolcostumes surmount-
ed by the brilliant banners Of their
local societies. The platform presented
still more beautiful picture, when 700
boys and girls of Washington, who were
to carry out the program, had taken
their places.
The praise service was entered into
most heartily by the Juniors, the most
impressive number being No. 70, from
Junior c. E. songs, the chorus being sung
responsively.
The invocation was led by Rev. Jos.
Brown Morgan Of Chester, Eng, fol-
lowed by the responsive reading ofthe 23d
psalm.
The address of welcome, given in clear
ringing tones that could be distinctly
heard to the limits of the great audience
by Master Raymond Miles native of St
Johnsbury, was as follows:
