of the work done in the mission schools,
and many interesting groups of the pu-
pills. showing the Chinese children in their
American klndergartens, older children at
work in the sewing schools and photo
graphs giving a general idea of the in
dustrial work that forms large part
of the mission schools. The work done
by the children In the Brazil mission
Is particularly interesting.
Mrs. Cobbs, in speaking of the work,
recalled her surprise at seeting small
children, particularly girls at work at
the bench. The girls were as expert at
planning as the boys, and small tables
fashioned entirely by girls, and after
ward decorated in pyrogaphy designs is
shown in the exhibit. Much of the work
is similar to that seen in the exhibits
of manual training in the public schools
of this country.
A large part of the exhibit Is devoted to
curios which have been collected by the
foreign board. The Korean exhibit Is
particularly interesting. The old idols,
the great massive looking things that
the Korean woman keeps near her to
ward off evil spirits, all kinds of queer
and interesting looking things are on
exhibit
In one case is a collection of hats worn
in Korea. A hat some three feet in cir
conference and made of straw Is worn
by the farmer class. A small and rather
picturesque hat Is worn by a Korean
bridegroom, while the hat prescribed for
mourning, for the head of the family,
and worn for three years by the children,
is also a wide brimmed one with a Curl
GUS crown. The headdress of the Ko-
reans Is most distinctive.
A robe that wac worn by a devout
Buddhist woman. and which was present.
ed to her by group of Buddhist priests
as mark of veneration for her re-
markable temple worship, is one Of the
interesting things in the foreign exhibit.
The robe Is embroidered with prayers to
Budha, and when the Buddhist woman
gave 1t to missionary after her CONVEX
sion. she said that she had no further
use for 1t. Jesus has given me a white
robe" is what she said to the missionary,
and her words are pinned to the robe.
which she wore in her long years of
temple worship.
Embroideries, headdress, slippers, many
rich looking things from China. from
Brazil, from Cuba, from Mexico. all form
ing a most interesting and varied collec-
ton, are seen in the foreign exhibit. Mrs.
Cobbs has arranged a miniature house,
typical of the houses in Mexico. 1t rep
resents the type of residence occupied
by the wealthy Mexican. The patio, or
, the court, is shown, and the one wide
door through which all the family, the
servants. the horses, the cows enter. A
Mexican house has but one door. The
windows are barred. and even with this
precaution no furniture is ever placed
opposite a window, as the Mexican has
a habit of reaching through the bars and
taking anything available. This national
characteristic is recognized throughout
Mexico, and the fact that all houses are
heavily barred is an admittance of THEW
| cry by even the Mexicans themselves.
The pottery shown from the kilns at

GERMANY COMEDY.

The little German comedy which was
presented with such success by a number
of pupils in the German classes at the
high school recently will be repeated on
Thursday night. May 10, at the audito-
rum of the school. Several new features
will be added to the entertainment, and
an attractive musical programme con-
sisting of several solos and a quartette
will be given Before the play begins,
the pupils society, die Germania." which
is giving the entertainment, will be seen
In a typical afternoon session.
The play proper, AIS verlobte empfehlen
sich," purports to be an engagement an
nounced, and the plot hinges around the
love affairs of two interesting couples
The play is rich in comical situations
and amusing pranks played, and its sim
plicfty of construction enables persons
who are unfamiliar with the German
language to follow the plot.
The funds realized will go for the bene-
fit of the free kindergarten and the high
school improvement fund.

ing missionary fields, the countries to
where missionaries are sent out by the
board, together with much valuable and
interesting data that has been collected
since 1878, showing the progress of the
work. the number of workers in the field
year after year, the foreign conditions,
the number of mission schools, and par
ticularly the educational work of the two
boards.
In another article the exhibit of the
general board will be fully discussed. This
article will touch in a general way upon
the exhibits made by the Woman's Home
and Foreign Missionary societies.
Mrs j. J. Dickey of Louisville, Ky, Is
in charge of the exhibit made by the
Home Mission society Mrs. Dickey was
consecrated a deaconess eight years ago
by Bishop Thoburn of India at the gen.
eral conference of the NJ. &c. church,
North. After her marriage a few years
ago a deaconess being under no VOW like
other sisterhoods. Mrs. Dickey's work in
the home mission board was even more
earnest and today few women are better
posted on the subject of home missions.

girls of North Carolina has been one
of the most successful of the mission
schools. The Brevard Industrial school Is
in the Sapphire country, and the native
mountain girls who have been deprived
of all industrial training, or at least
the proper kind, have taken advantage
of the opportunities afforded by the mis-
sion school In the Sue Bennett Memorial
school at London, Ky, Is also seen the
work of the Home Mission board, while
among other mission schools Is the Ruth
Hargrove seminary at Key West The
Vashti Blasingame home at Thomasville,
Ga. controlled by deaconesseS, Is also
a fine institution, where young orphaned
girls from IL to 16 are admitted and
taught various branches of industrial
work.
The Ann Browder Cunningham Training
school at Dallas Texas, Is another In
dustrial school under the control of the
Womans Home Mission society. The
society in presenting the work that is
being done from the far Pacific coast to
that along the Florida coast. from Ybor
CITY to the mountains of North Carolina,
also shows in statistics its reasons for
constant work among the millions of idol
worshiping, ignorant foreigners who are
floclSing to this country. The figures are
there for study by those interested in
social conditions.
Miss Lucinda B. Helm was the founder
of the Home Mission society, which be-
gan it's first work in building parsonages.
Gradually its work extended into educa-
tional fields until now the several mission
schools in all parts of the country, the

I SHOULD like to see the American
woman who would scourge herself
with prongs and wear bracelets that
lacerated her flesh for a day and imagine
that she was doing penance. One of these
curious "penanee'' bracelets, suggesting
the days of the Inquisition, may be seen
in a collection of curios now being ex-
hibited In Birmingham
Attracting much attention because of
its historical interest as well as showing
TO some extent the educational work that
has been accomplished in foreign mission
fields and also in America, is the mis-
eionary exhibit which was opened yes-
terday in Gelder's hall The exhibit is
divided into three sections. There is what
IS called the parent exhibit, arranged
by the general board Of the Methodist
church, south, and the two exhibits ar
ranged by the Woman's Home Missionary
society and by the womans Foreign Mis-
sionary society, both of which are aux
iliaries to the conference.
The work of classifying the exhibits
was begun the first of the week. the
arranging of the maps and charts was
in itself no small undertaking, while
the large number of photographs, records
and similar things which required much
care made the grouping of the exhibits
almost as tedious a task. Besides this,
there were the exhibits representing the
work done in the mission schools, both
in foreign countries and this country. The
curios brought back to this country by
returning missionaries also required much
time in arranging. Altogether when the
exhibit was opened yesterday it was not
unlike a museum filled with pictures,
curios, relics, from the most interest
ing countries of the world.
Flags of all nations, banners, panels
representing the art as well as the pa
triotic principles of other countries are
hung on the walls. Row after row of
charts, maps, perfect guide books show

where, at the meeting of the board the
past week over seven thousand dollars
was appropriated to the Industrial schools
in the mountain districts and other gem
erous appropriations were made for car
rying on home mission work.
In Foreign Lands.
The exhibit made by the Womans For
eign Missionary society is in the nature
of a liberal education. 1t comprises a
large part of the general exhibit and
represents the work done in the mission
schools that have been established in
China, where the boards support eighteen
missionaries, in Korea, where there are
eight missionaries in Mexico, where twen-
ty workers are supported by the foreign
board; In Brazil, where eighteen mission
aries have been sent and in Cuba, an
other field for labor There are five mis-
sionares there under the direction of
the foreign board.
The exhibit has been placed by Mrs.
j. b. Cobb of Macon, Ca, associate sec
rotary of the Womans Foreign Mis-
sionary board. Miss Hattie Weakley of
Nashville is also in charge of the ex-
hibit, much of which was included in
the recent student volunteer exhibit at
Nashville,
Maps showing the beginning of the mis-
sionary work in far China and indicating
also its progress, are most interesting.
In 1878 the first missionary to represent
the, foreign board of the NJ, f. church,
South, was Miss Rankin of Tennessee,
who went direct to Shanghai. Her jour
ney is shown by gold traced line on
the map of China, and the subsequent
journeys of all missionaries sent out by
the board traced In gold on the maps
and charts give an idea of their progress
In the Orient. At a glance one can
see almost every step through the dark
heather countries, and in Imagination
picture the privations, the disappoint-
mems, the hopes of the missionary travers-
ing those distant lands.
The schools of the foreign board are
shown in handsome photographs. There
are pictures of the various boards in the
foreign countries, photographs illustrative

Some idea of the work of the Home
Mission society may be gained from tn,
following extract from the bishops mes
sage:
The Home Mission society now cares
for fifteen educational centers. ranging
from industrial to normal schools, with
a pupilage of more than five thousand.
A night school and day school for
Italians at Tampa are among the new
institutions of the quadrennium.
On the Pacific coast the struggling
night schools for Japanese have been
housed, and at present there are three
homes for these foreigners, conduct
ed on the cooperative basis. They
touch more than two hundred of the
japanese annually who come from the
provinces of Japan, where the gen
eral board has established missions
AS a direct result of these homes and
schools two regular Japanese church.
es have been established, with mem
bership something like forty, who have
learned to know of our Christ either
through Methodist mission schools In
Japan or in the night schools here.
Work done by the society for negro
women at Paine institute, Augusta,
Ga, has certainly been for their In
dustral and religious betterment
The society has twenty-three city
mission boards in active operation, em-
ploying twenty-sx trained workers,
forty salaried workers, and a volun-
tary force OF more than two hundred.
These voluntary workers come from
the rank and file of the church. who

or some other phase of work that

ment has exceeded that of any other.
due, no doubt, to the fact that our
church women are more and more
aroused by the knowledge of social and
industrial conditions about us, and
also to a growing sense of respon-
siblity.
The work among the illiterate mountain
