to assist us in the near future. Nav
we not also train up Hawaiian, Chinese
and Portuguese helpers from our own
ranksl
The Angel of Death called home in
early November Miss Annie I. Forbes
in February Mrs. Rebecca II. Lyman of
Hilo, in March our dear Mrs. Hebron
and Mrs. Josephine Rugg, in April Mrs
Persis G. Taylor. OF all these it may
be lovingly said:
Life s race well run,
Lies work well done,
Life s crown well won,
Now comes rest
Who will fill up the ranks left vacant
by these lossesl
In planning the program for the com.
ing year it is proposed to secure more
faithful individual study of the mission
field under consideration than hereto
fore. Instead of mere passive listeners
we desire all our members to take such
an active part in the study of Africa
that even where their general reading
touches any phase of the development
of this great continent it may be made
to conduce to the interest and attrac.
tiveness of our meetings.
But while we are learning of the
brave lives and heroic efforts of those
who have helped to bring the dark con.
tinent into the light and life of God S
love let us not forget the source from
which their strength came. How many
would like to join a prayer band and
in their quiet hour remember the faith
full missionaries there and the millions
yet unreached! Let our local work and
workers by name also be included in
these daily petitions. If we do so faith
fully not only will they feel the added
strength and sympathy but, what is al
ways true in the spiritual realm, we
ourselves shall grow in grace and in
capacity to love and serve. If we would
have this Woman's Board the power it
might be in this community we need a
deeper spiritual life. More prayer,
silent and audible, will keep us closer
to tn. heart of the Master and His
cause.
go Lord of heaven and earth and sea,
To Thee all praise and glory be,
How shall we show our love to Thee,
Who givest allP
For peaceful homes and healthful days,
For all the blessings earth displays,
We owe Thee thankfulness and praise,
Who givest all.
We lose what on ourselves we spend:
We have as treasure without end,
Whatever, Lord, to Thee we lend,
Who givest all. -
