MEDICAL MISSIONARIES.
1rlo doo+o, continuing said.


1.-THE missionary world is waking up to
the necessity of providing a medical mis-
sionary for every new station. In ntty
years ending January, 1894, medical mission
enty-four of whom are women. This IS as
it should be. Why submit our missionary
friends to the barbaritles OF heatnen pFEa a;~
tice of healing or killing, or intrust their
lives to other missionaries who are without
medical knowledge? l believe it to be little
less than criminal on the part of the socte-
ties thus to expose the lives of those who
have committed themselves to their care
in foreign fields. l believe all of our India
stations are provided for excepting Blna,
Deaghur and possibly Damoh
Now" said the speaker, I'VE want to
raise fifty life memberships here this after
noon If you will raise thirtyfour will
give the other sixteen. If you can raise
twenty-six, l will subscribe the remaining
twenty-four. Meanwhile, / will start the
work by agreeing to take sixteen life men,
berships. which is $400."
Mrs Burgess, after the applause died
away, called Mrs. Kelly to the platform MT, TO

ticism or exultant remark, and the tab he
