Editor HERALD Thinking that per-
haps the people OF Phillips county
might like to know something about
the nature Of the lectures their young
people at the Agricultural College
listen to, / will give as near as / can
10 a few words the substance of a
lecture az hour long which was de-
livered IN a most attractive manner in
the college chapel by Prof. Parsons
last Saturday afternoon. His subject
was: popular Government"
"Throughout history there runs
two great principles, First, the ten
dency toward concentration Of gov
ernment in the hands of the few, and
second, the opposite tendency toward
the diffusion OF government among
the people themselves. The first OF
these tendencies, carried to the ex-
treme, gives an absolute monarchy
the second carried to it's limit gives
the ideal democracy.
In very early times governments
were in general quite democratic, but

in the city, training and developing
the Blble.women and editing the
Tamil Friend. The working force is
one deaconess, five assistants, three
B,ble-women, one evangelist, one
matron. fifteen teachers The work
reaches all classes, from the highest
to the lowest, and directly influences
both sexes. The conference roll holds
the names Of native preachers who
trace the uprooting Of the old faith
to the songs and words and prayer OF
the godIy women in the Madras home.
The lowly village women have had
burdens lifted from their hearts which,
for weight, were far heavier than the
burdens on head or back and they go
to their daily drudgery singing; Pm
the child OF King" The monotony
Of the life Of the purda woman has
been relieved as her fingers have been
taught to weave beautiful patterns
upon lace and canvas and her intel
lect awakened to the mystery OF let
tors.
Mrs Harriet Britain, recently de.
ceased at the age of seventy-fve,
spent fifty years Of her busy life in
the mission fields Of Africa, India and
japan. She inherited a modest for
tune, and could have lived in luxury
in America, but preferred the Masters
service in heather lands. The climate
of Africa proved too much for her
constitution. She was engaged to be
married to a missionary there, who,
unlike herself, found no obsticle in
the climate, and heroically refused to
have him leave his work for her sake.
She was transferred TO India, where,
as pioneer, she devoted twenty years
to zsnana work, Then, for many
years, she was principal OF a girls
school at Yokohama, Japan, and
during the last fifteen years main
tanned a home for missions in that
seaport city. Missionaries of all
churches, as they come and so, will
sadly miss this handmaiden Of the
Lord
