the First National Congress of Mothers,
held in Washington, D. G, this week.
On the afternoon of the 10sh inst.
Camden county's Superintendent of
Work Among Colored People, Mrs l.
Shipley, No. ss7 Ferry avenue, Camden,
talked very entertainingly and with
much edification to the members and
friends of Woodstown Union in Library
Hall.
Il Need Thee Every Hour" was the
opening hymn. The President read the
first Psalm, and Mrs. Snelbaker asked in
prayer for every right blessing upon the
work for which We were drawn together,
asking especially that our President,
Elizabeth Bradway, might be wisely
guided in her conceptions and rulings,
and that the speaker of the hour might
be given just the right message to deliver
to these, who had assem- bled to listen to
her teachings.

in our very MIDST. For Mrs. Shipley
was enabled to give such a beautiful
illustration of loving faith in the power
of her Heavenly Father (and ours) to
make easy all difficulties, to make crooked
paths Straight, to supply all needs, TO go
forth without fear in his wonderful
promises, until, in beautiful reality we
are living in the joy of the Lord and the
fullness thereof.
Mrs. Shipley told somewhat of her
own experience in the temperance work,
how she had felt call from the Divine
Master, how it was necessary that she
should give up school teaching-her
avenue of support-and spend ber un.
divided time to this blessed work for the
Lord, in whom she had every faith. Her
face shone as she cited instance after
instance of the power of Him who had
led her forth into most intricate pathways,
but she had gone cheerfully, because of
her perfect faith-and He bad ever sus-
tanned her.
1t was a beautiful lesson, and most
deeply should these fruits of the spirit
peace, joy, love-take root within the
heart of every listener and bloom forth
in fuller abundance through the life and
work of each. The meeting and the
speaker then rested somewhat as all
joined in singing with mellowness of
tone and accent that would have well
suited Southern plantations:
cat the cross, at the cross,
Where L first saw the light" ETC.
Mrs. Shipley was then requested to tell
of her personal recollection of Abraham
Lincoln, which she did 10 her simple,
entertaining way, having used good
language, and nice expressions through
out her discourse.
"All Around the World" with its
refrain we so like to hear of
ats coming, its coming,
The time for which we pray,
Will take the world for od's own kingdom
Some glad day."
was then sung, after which our Treasurer

increasing our finances. After singing

A Very Unique Document Sent
To Congress by The
President.
Il Ignores the Great Bulk Of Matters
Usually Treated of In
Presidents Messages,
And Is Confined to Foreign Reia-
tons And The Currency
Question.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Both houses Of
congress met at noon today, and after
the usual opening ceremonies commit
tees were appointed to wait upon the
president and inform him that they
were ready to transact business. Upon
their return the presidents message
was read and then both houses adj
journed for the day. The main features
of the message is as follows:
The message is mainly devoted to the
subjects of our foreign relations and the
currency problems. 1t is unique in one
respect in that it ignores the great bulk
of matters usually constituting the de-
partmental portions of presideptiel an
nual messages. There is scartely ref
erence to the subject matter The an
nual reports of the cabinet. the presi-
dents purpose being to call attention
only to the more important affairs of
government. For this reason the postal
savings project of the postmaster gem
eral is not discussed in the message.
The currency plank is in the main an
incorporation of the views submitted
by Secretary Gage, though as to
details the president leaves himself
freedom of action by not taking any
position with reference to several feat
ures of the secretary's plans while in
dorsing its main object
A strong presentation of the Hawaii
an question is made and congress is
urged to take immediate action by rati-
fication of the treaty of annexation.
This part of the message strongly de-
picts the necessity for making the ISL
land part of the domains of the United
States, and reviews advantages that
would accure to the country by its pos
session.
AS to Cuba the messages call atten-
ton to the recent trend of affairs ON
the island, refers to the scheme of au-
tonomy Just offered by Spain and, after
reciting other developments in the stu
alton, reaches the virtual conclusion
that existing circumstances do not war
rant interference in the affairs of the
island.
Considerable attention is paid to the
question of reciprocity negotiations with
various countries in Europe. Special
Commissioner Kasson has been working
ON this subject for some time and the
message deals with some of the devel-
opments of negotiations already had
and expresses the hope of the admins
tration to secure satisfactory results in
the future The policy of the admins
tration on this subject is outlined and,
citing French champagnes as an illus
tration, the point is made that if special
concessions are given any foreign prod
ucts the United States must be given
equal treatment by reciprocal conces-
sions.
The Alaskan problem is discussed at
some length and plea is made for con-
gressional legislation, including the ex-
tension of the operation Of the public
land laws and the granting of rights Of
way for roads by which all parts OF
the country may be made more acces-
