Wei, much after the manner of the part
ing with Miss Brouse, who. she said, was
the center OF a throng OF friends VINO.
Wnlle glad TO send her, were grieved &c
part with her. She referred to the farewell
OF MISS Isabella Thoburn. the present head
or the Women's College at Lucknow, in
which Miss Brouse will serve as kinder

every piece of stone that goes into that
building, because / realize that every brick
means one more step toward the freedom
or the women of my country"
Miss Dickson then asked for contribu-
tons to defray the expense of sending Miss
Brouse to India and received $3.50 in cash.
DIR. QUAYLE'S ADDRESS.
Miss Ida Sweenie then sang solo, Love
ly Appear" from Redemption" by Gou-
nod, after which Rev. William A Quayle
delivered a short address.
Il think said he, that the best ad-
dress I can make will be to tell you all to
go home, for, be assured, I shall not at
tempt to deliver any address. But I will
mention few truths. 1t is four centuries
since feet set out from port in Spain.
1t was Il gala occasion. and on one OF those
caravels was a man on whom the world has
peen looking ever since, and will continue
to look as long as the world exists. You
VIII not argue that the quest was a great
che, and that the perils equaled 1t, but he
succeeded. What Columbus gave to the
world was new hemisphere but our mis-
slonary Will take a new world to another
PEOPLE. She will go out in steamer of
Whlch she Is not the captain, and We are to
see her on her way as the boat slips her
moorings, passes down the bay, down past
the rocks and out into the great ocean as
tar as the film of smoke fl ON her stacks can
ten US she is going away to another land.
FINALLY the smoke will die out and she will
have gone. She is going to take with her
to that land the knowledge of heaven and
the leadership of Christ, with twenty cent
rries of Christ in her blood. No fleet. no
commodore and no adventurous ship ever
set out with such a cargo. She is going to
bring heaven TO folks, and our prayers 60
after her, clean across the boundaries of
the world. She is going to take book of
life to the heather. 1t we have Gods book
with us we shall not get lost. II we are On
a desert it will lead us out, and we cannot
stray away when we have this book with
US. She is going where the only familiar
things she will see will be the sun, moon
and stars. There are people here tonight
who have been in foreign lands and / ap-
peal TO them TO tell how these things ap-
pealed to them as old friends and how they
gazed at the stars as though they brough,
them colser to- that land they had left far
away. She will hear strange speech, see
| strange clothes, vegetation, people and Gus
toms, and she Is going to help change these
people from provincials to world people
Often you see in Bibles the passages, Many
tongues on earth; one tongue in heaven
She Is going to teach them the great uni
versal tongue; to tell women of India thai
they have souls and are not simply things
| that they have place in the economy o.
God. and that. when Christ rose from the
grave he spoke not first to- man, but t
woman; May she walk as she who saw
| Him who is now invisible
AT the conclusion of DR.. Quayles address:
| the choir and congregation united in sing
| ing God be with you till we meet again
| IL was announced from the pulpit las
| night that Miss Brouse will leave for New
York this week
