upon the relatives and friends at home
who are so anxious TO show them they

very near future when all who con-
template sending something shall meet
at Armory hall and arrange to have all
boxes or packages conveyed from there
to the depot. so that they woul all
reach their destination at the same
time? Any suggestion that would be

Square church, Mrs. Frye in the chair.
The devotional services were conducted
by DR.. Blanchard and consisted of the

Corinthians and prayer. DR.. Blanchard
remained at the meeting and added to its
interest by timely questions and sug'
eestions After the usual reports were
given two letters from Mrs. Blackledge
our missionary at Oklahoma were read.
She writes that the Shawnses are greatly
interested in the ploughing of the lano'
the sowing of seed, etc. They are pleased
with the young orchard, in fact with
everything that the missionaries have
done there. But pioneer work at best is
hard and especially SO among an uncivil.
lied tribe of Indians who can neither
speak nor understand the language. This
tribe numbers about three hundred and
fifty, and one hundred of them are chill
dren. To educate these childrens, to teach
the other ones the arts of peace, and to
convert all from the heather to the
Christian religion is the aim of the mis-
sion, which the State of Maine has
planted in Oklahoma.
