TRIBUTES TO NARY GREEN.

no need to have it otherwise. Her
watch was always set, every days
work was done before she slept, and it
was all well.
In what border-land her white spirit
fingered in the two days of unconscious
living in which she lay with closed
eyes, only waiting for the ferryman
who should carry her safely over the
river, we may never know. We only
know that when her eyes opened there,
it was upon even fairer scenes and
dearer friends than those she had left
here. And we cannot doubt that the
King Himself met her at the gate, and
taking her lovingly by the hand, said:
Come, Mary Green, blessed of my
Father, inherit the kingdom prepared
for you from the foundation of the
world; for 1 was an hungered and We
gave me meat, L was thirsty and We
gave me drink; 1 was a stranger and
We took me in, naked and We clothed
me: I was sick and We visited me, I
was in prison and We came unto me.
For verify I say unto you, Mary, that
inasmuch as We did it unto one of these
my brethren, even these least, We did it
Unto me-"
Following the memorial service for
Miss Green, the regular business was
taken up. Mrs. Gulick reported encour-
agingly on the missionary work among
the Japanese all over the territory, re-
ferring particularly to the good de-
rived from the presence of Rev. and
Mrs. Kosaki of Toxic who were here
during the summer to assist in the
evangelical work.
A letter from Hattie E. Larrabea, ad-
jutant of the Salvation Army in charge
of the Rescue Home here, thanked the
Board for it's financial assistance during
the past year and the hope was express
ed that the appropriation of $500 would
be renewed for the coming year to go
to her successor, as she was about to
return to the Coast. Mrs Hyde an
nounced that for the present the Board
would let the matter go over until the
end of the year when a review of it's
financial obligations could be made and
a definite answer made.
Miss Talcott, missionary amongst
years in similar work in Japan, read
an interesting paper on The Forward
Movement in Japan" She told of the
great meeting of evangelical churches
and societies in Toxic in 1900 when
$4,000 where appropriated for commenc-
ing the forward Christian movement
in the Empire. The results have been
amazing, and today she says in effect
that Christianity has won the respect
and attention of the thinking people of
the land. Y. NJ. c. AS are being or
ganized in the government schools and
other educational institutions, indicat-
ing that public sentiment with regard
to Christianity has undergone Won
derful change there. There was a call
for more Christian teachers. Many of
the better class of Japanese were be-
ing educated to go amongst their own
people to teach the Word, and the six
teen districts of the Empire Were rapid
ly Being invaded by evangelists The
speaker told of remarkable conversions, /
and people of all classes were inter-
esting themselves in behalf of Chris |
tian teachings.
Mrs. Hyde read an interesting letter
report from Mrs. Arthur H. Smith. a
missionary in China, who made a visit |
in Honolulu. Mrs. Smith referred large !
ly to the work of taking up the work
Which had been broken by the Boxer
uprising.
The collection for the Armenian or
phans in which the Board is interest
ed amounted to $780,
