The Baptist church was packed Sunday
evening to hear Miss Isabella Thoburn,
who has been a missionary in India for the
past 80 years, speak Miss Thoburn is
sister of Bishop j. NJ Thoburn. missionary
bishop of the Methodist church, who has
labored in India for many years. Both he
and his sister are attending the confer
ence at Mortified. Miss Thoburn is a fine
speaker, and held the closest attention of
her audience from first to last. She told
of the opposition they had to overcome in
the beginning of their work, all doors being
closed against them, related many incl
dents of interest, and described the steady
| gain of Christianity among both Mohome-
dams and Hindoos. She made strong APP
peal for aid in carrying on the work. Miss
Thoburn came here under the auspices of
the Methodist church, but as their church
is undergoing extensive repairs, the Bap-
fist church was rendered them for the SER
vice, and gratefully accepted.
