In Memoriam.

At the regular meeting of the Wo-
mans Foreign Missionary Society of
the NJ. E. Church, South, johnson
City, Tennessee, July 9th, 1900, the
following tribute, presented by COM
mittee appointed the previous month,
was unanimously adopted:
By the death Of Mrs. r. G, Crumley,
our society has lost its oldest and one
OF its most faithful and beloved MEN,
bers.
She united with our auxiliary in the
earlier days Of its existence, when tie
Woman's Missionary movement was
considered by the majority of even the
leaders of thought and work in our
church as doubtful experiment.
A meeting Of the society was held at
her home, and as she listened to an ex-
PLANTATION of the work, the reasons for
its organization and n statement Of
what had been achieved in the first
few years Of its existence, her face
glowed with intelligent interest, and
before the meeting adjourned she said
to the president. 81 think every
Methodist woman ought to belong to
this society. If you have any use for
an old woman like me, put down my
name
Her name went down upon our roll
and there remained through all the
sorrows that came to shadow her life,
through changes Of fortune, through
personal suffering and affection. 1t
was always an inspiration to have her
present at our meetings, for we knew
that no mere within or passing fancy in
fiuenced her to come, but that this
hour was planned for and consecrated,
in the midst of life full of cares, anx-
ieties and duties because the love Of
the Divine Christ was in her heart and
flowing out toward those who sat in
darkness
Her face, expressive of calm purpose,
and quiet, steady courage was ever an
indication to us that she had learned
the "secret Of the lord which He
vouchsafes to impart to them who rev
erence and trust Him.
We will keep ever in orr hearts a
tender remembrance of her, and pray
that her mantle of loving, willing SER
vice may fall upon us and upon the
children Of her love- those for whose
sakes her hands were full of earnest
toll her heart of tenderest solicitude
and wrestling prayer.

bright future opening mp before her.
She was the daughter of Judge and
Mrs. s. j. kirkpatrick, of Jonesboro,
aud a sister to Mrs. J. H. Bowman, Of

all our hearts.
Although Mrs. Taylor had not dwelt
among us for the past few months, we
know that the work she has done will
live after her, and as daughter of the
King she has gone to her inheritance,

vision we can not see the reason for re-
moving Mrs. Taylor from her family,
who so much needed her, to her reward
eternal; but by faith we know that all
things work together for good to them
that love God, - and we bow in humble
submission to his will Therefore be it

and to cause this dispensation of His
Providence to work for their eternal
good.
Resolved end, That especially do we
pray for Gods sustaining grace for the
children, so dear to her, and trust that
through their tears they may see the
smile Of the loving divine comforter,
who says to them, Come unto Me,
and that they may at last dwell with
her in that beautiful home where sor-
row and death has no entrance.
Resolved Bird, That this preamble

BACK TO CANNED BEEF.
War Department VIII Use 1t in
Philippines.

Washington, April 2O.-War depart
ment officials have been compelled to
resort to the use of canned roast beef
for the subsistence of the army in the
Philippines. This is due to the fact that
it is absolutely essential that the sol
dleTs shall be served with fresh meat
and because Of the impossibility Of pro-
Niding refrigerated beef or cattle on the
noOI under existing conditions. When
the bulk Of the army was located near
the seashOre and at easily accessi BILE
points there was no difficulty in provid-
ing them with fresh meats. but condf-
tons have now changed, and the army
is scattered among 16O posts in various
parts of the archipelago, a great many
of them a cOnsidera bic distance from
the nearest shipping point There are no
cattle available and the refrigerated
beef which has heretofore formed the
principal basis of subsistence for the
troops can not be preserved in good con-
dition long enough to reach many of the
inland posts.
look for some suitable substitute and the
American canned roast beef was the
only thing found to meet the require
ments- The suggestions for its use
came originally from the subsistence
officers in the Philippines and the chief
commISsary officer at Manila recently
