 Arch Deacon Hughson addressing the children began by complimenting them in turning out in such large numbers on such day. "He was glad to see such gathering of stormy day Chrit tians. There were many fair weather Christians, the speaker said, but the stormy weather ones were the right kind He spoke very highly of the mis- sionary work being carried on by Bish- op Rowe of Alaska, and told the chil- dren many interesting tales connected with the good bishops work, of the .Ar..A Nxa 30,1Y fty1rr 2,5G0 miles over snow with the ther- ll1ometer away far down below zero. Bishop Rowe, he told them, was one of the greatest heroes the church h. q, and he coungelled them to think they could do to help him in his great work. Arch Deacon Hughson also in- ferested the scholars very much by tell ing them of the missionary work being carried on in the Philippines, Japan, South Africa ana other parts of the world. In his own mission In Ashville, N. O., one class, he said had l76 in It. and their ages ranged from five to fif- ty-five years, and they were all called children. All of his boys he said were named John and the girls Mary. They were very anxious to learn and did so under very great difficulties. They were not like the children he was ad- dressing; they could not turn to their father or their mother and ask their aid in studies as they never received av education. Tn concluding Arch Dea- con Hughson intimated that the cost of \ educating a child through the missions was about $1O year, and he made an earnest appeal for them to make sac riflec toward the coming Lenten season so that they would be able to get to- gether a greater amount of money for mission work then they had ever done hafnra
