our own. which, owing to its cosmopoli-
tan character, is the home of millions
of benighted individuals who have yet
to learn of the Christ who came into
the world that they might live.
Home mission work, Mrs. Perkins
said, is absorbingly interesting. and no
work appeals more strongly than that
of the society. Over 5000, 600 Africans
are in America. and one great line of
mission work lies in that direction. She
cited statistics to show that out or
every hundred church going women,
only six are vitally interested in mis-
sion work, and she contended that
church members have no right to draw
their robes about them and sit in
pharisaical seclusion while a world re-
mains to be saved. She said that the
question as to whether the colored race
shall advance or retrograde depends
much upon the work of home missions.
After the choir rendered an anthem
Mrs. P. D. Browne of San Francisco,
President of the Occidental Board, de-
livered an address on Foreign Mis-
sions." Mrs. Browne is a fluent speak
er and talked without notes. She
rapidly reviewed the work of the for
eign missions and told how the word
had been carried to the most inacces-
sible countries, and how the refining
influences of Christianity were taught
in Darkest Africa and in the heart of
the Chinese Empire.
Three missionaries, Mrs. Browne said,
were to be appointed to take the place
of three who have returned from the
far East, and she hoped to hear that
one of the number had been furnished
by the Sacramento society.
Mr. and Mrs Lester and Miss Rogers
rendered Hear My Prayer" The
session ended by a benediction.

Bunkoed the Highwayman Out Of
a Comfortable Wad.

"In trouble you for your little wad,
if you please!"
The footpad was polite, but insist
ent.
The luckless pedestrian looked up
and down the dimly lighted street, but
nobody else was in sight.
'It will not do you any good, my
dear friend" said the gentlemanly
highwayman, still holding a revolver
pointed in a most threatening manner
