that it was permitted to send out Mir. and Mrs Hume and for their influence in India.
 He closed with the presentation of the resolution adopted by the Marathi mis- sion:
 Whereas. through the Providence Of God. Mrs. Hannah D. Hume. widow of
 the late Robert W. Hume 0ormerly missionary in Bombay has been pro- noted from the earthly to the heavenly service, and
 Whereas. Miss Sarah J. Hume. daughter of Rev. Robert W. Hume, has also entered into rest after many years of home and foreign missionary work. Resolved, that We are indebted to our
 Heavenly Father for the example of their rare devotion to the Kingdom of
 our Lord and Saviour. We therefore record our gratitude for the helpful in- huences which have gone out from their lives in India and the home land: and | we pray that the church of God may be | richer for the strong faith and virtues of these who have passed from us,
 whose works do follow them. We also express our sympathy with
 the remaining members of the family in | these bereavements, commenting them l to the God of all comfort. Who com 1 forteth us that we may be able to com- 1 fort them which are in any trouble by 1 the comfort wherewith we ourselves are i comforted of God.''
 1 Miss Julia Twining represented the
 organization with which Mrs. Hume | was most closely identified. More than | any other person was Mrs. Hume the 1 founder Of the New Haven Branch of | the Woman's Board of Missions. and l she was the last of the noble band of
 women who stood side by side when it's
 work was inaugurated. As correspond l ing secretary she has been in continu ous service throughout its history of l thirty-three years. Miss Twining paid ] tribute 10 her clear sightedness. which made her a trusted guide, her far
 sightedness which made her wise
 counsellor, her abiding faith, which made her tower of strength. Her 1 wide reading, her acute memory. her l broad information, her exact standards, 1 her tender love, her devoted correspon- dence with the missionaries, her pray
 CTS offered continually in their behalf, her readiness for every service, her 1 spiritualizing influence. her deep sense
 of the dignity of the position of the ] Christian, her attitude of though. to- ward the consecrated missionary are
 few of the many points presented in Miss Twining's paper. The testimony
 of missionaries, of the native Christians
 of India, of branch officers, of ministe-
 rial friends and of many others to the 1 help and inspiration each had received
 from her influence and her prayers was
 briefly and partially given. Mrs.
 Hume contributed her sympathy, her
 interest and help in many lines. Of
 these the City Missions and Y. W. c. A.,
 were mentioned. Her wealth of service l for the branch cannot be reached by any testimony.
 l This saint, this mother of missiona-
 ries this mother of many Christian
 souls, this faithful, trusted, loving
 friend will be sorely missed. The men-
 ory of her life will be cherished with re- l joicing that in the heavenly world she,
 with all those that turn many to righ- l teousness, shall shine as the stars for ever and ever."
 i Rev. George S. Dickerman led in prayer of thanksgiving. The hymn For Fall Thy saints who from their labors l rest" was sung. and the benediction
 was pronounced by Dr. Barton. The selections rendered upon the or gan. both at the opening and close of
 the service. were choice and appropri | ate.
