should not every christian be inter-

are ready and anxious to be taught,
they believe and accept the Lord
Jesus more readily in proportion
than 90 our own people. 1t is true
they are ignorant and superstitious,
but what has elevated us above that
same sphere? Was it not the conn

miserable and depraved would be our
lives today but for this blessed fact
Should we not interest ourselves in
sending this same glorious message

Another paper, "Our duty az

was listened to. Among other things
she said: "In a. much as our soci..

Miss Ida Bobo writing of the
privilege of being "Co- -laborer with
God" said: "No true work since
the world began was ever wasted.
No true life has ever failed. In view
of these facts we rejoice to see the
good our society mas already accom-
plished. We are unable to say to
what extent its influence reaches or
the lasting good it may do through
the coming years. Christian life is
action, not speculation, not de-
batting, but doing. 1t follows then
that VIC must take our stand for God
and let the would know we are on
on the Lords side. The work that
is to tell in heaven is that which is
done in earnestness of spirit here.
Hence in this, our annual meeting,
let US resolve TO make this our best
year. No investment of money is
better than that invested in Gods
treasury, and no better expenditure
of time than in His service"
Our pastor, Rev. E. G. Watson,
was present and expressed a desire
to become an honorary member of
our society. Our Treasurer made a
report which was gratifying; near
$50 being raised for benevolent and
Missionary purposes during year
ending February 1908.
