spoken in Chattanooga One of the

Mrs Taylor's address there, said:
..Those who had the privilege OF near
ing Mrs. Taylor at Centenary ChuIch
yesterday afternoon were deeply Impress
ed with the spiritual power and absolute
conservation which characterize this re-
markable woman. Her reference to the
consecrated home in which she was ra's-
ed, and TO the impressions which led 10
her becoming a missionary; her account
of her early labors among the destitute
factory girls in the Whitechapel district
of London. thrilled and melted all hearts
Most wonderful in her talk was the &C
count she gave of the inleand China mis-
sion. The posts of this mission are a
six months journey from the coast OF
China, and the latoorers in this district
only pray for a supply Of their needs.
1t requires $4,000 per annum to meet the
demands OF the mission, but its mana
gers have never solicited a dollar, have
never been in debt and have never lacked
a thing needed for the comfort or living
of the workers..
