sion of the annual meeting of he
women's Foreign Missionary society,
The exercises of the evening were all
IN the hands of the women. and the
singing was appropriate TO mission
work. Mrs. Kellogg, president OF the
local society, presided. and in a few
well chosen words explained the OBJ
feet Of the meeting and the purpose Of
the object, why IL was organized and
what II il accomplishing. The prin-
cipai paper of the evening was read
by Mrs. Hastings. 1t was entitled "A
Cali to the Mission Field" and was
beautifully composed and
read.
In her paper Mrs. Hastings drew a
picture Of a young girl h called
Johanna in a New Hampshire home.
She had been well brought up, had re-
ceived a good education and was decid-
ing what her profession in life should
be. While debating the matter she fell
asleep and had a vision. In her vision
she journeyed across the waters to far
India. She saw the restitution and
distress of the poor, the worshiping
of the idols, the boys marching TO
school while the girls were rough up
in ignorance and considered as burdens
and curses and only fit to be slaves.
She described a funeral procession TO
the river and h widow, who was
beaten and cursed because she had not
died before her husband. She told of
the mother who consigned her only
daughter to the waters in order TO ap-
pease the God who. in fancied anger.
had caused her son to die. AS Johanna
saw this vision, she seemed to see writ

care for the dying: tell them of Jesus

and decided that her mission in life
was to the fields ripe for the har-
vest.
~'There are many Johannas in this
country" concluded Mrs. Hastings,
"who have offered themselves and are

thing. We do not say to you to give

Making Horses Step High

Spectacles for horses have been patent
ed by an inventor, and are being used with
considerable success. Their object is not
so much to magnify objects as to make
the ground In front of the horse appear
nearer to his head than it really is. The
result is continual high stepping. which,
after while becomes natural. and gives to
horse an aristocratc gait, which he will
retain for many years.
