CHRISTIAN MISSIONS.
Fine Rally Is Held In the oskaloosa
church on Friday.

The friends of missionary work IN
the city and especially the member
ship of the Christian church nave
greatly enjoyed the missionary raliy
conducted at the church FRIDAY.
There was an all day session oegln-
ming at 10 O'Clock, closing at II O'Clock
for a generous dinner prepared by
the Philadora Society, and beginning
again at 2 O'Clock and closing at four
with a good audience at the evening
session.
The meeting was in charge OF 5. j.
Corey, secretary of the Foreign Chris
tan Missionary Society, whose head
Offices are at Cincinnati, Ohio. H9
is accompanied by DR.. Elliott l. Qs-
good, of Chucheo, China. DIR. Osgood
is an Iowa man who has been num-
Der of years on the foreign field. He
says there is a distinct fascination IN
fighting the battles Of down-trodden
| humanity in these benighted lands.
When it once gets hold of a man he
cheerfully stays with it for life. The
DIR. is man of deep devotion and
his recitals bear the stamp of an IN
| selfish life. Rev. Corey is just IN
the maturity of his best years and
speaks with great freedom and broad
| information on missionary subjects.
The foreign society supports 4S7
workers in heather lands, 40 schools
and colleges with $500 pupils, and Is
hospitals with $4,000 patients. The
walls of the auditorium were covered
with instructive maps AID charts con-
tanning missionary information. There
never was a greater interest in mis-
| sionary work in this church than
now, and these rallies are held to
give Intelligent direction and enthu-
sias. m
Besides the two speakers above
named, DR.. Osgood, the father OF the
missionary, was present; J. w. Som
erville, pastor of the M. E. church;
T. J. Conner, pastor of the Christian
church in Sigourney; and c. A. Park,
of Iowa Christian college. These
gave short addresses full of enthusi-
asm and interest.
This county has two missionaries
in China, viz: Mrs. Ethel Brown Gar
rett and Justin Brown, her brother.
They are located at Marking, China.
Miss Kate Ogborn is also spending
her life in a China mission field.
There is a growing sentiment among
all the churches that the church can
not live without the missionary spirit
and that the gospel ceases to be food
for the church which has ceased TO
live for those outside of itself.
The Oskaloosa church has been
earnestly solicited to consider the
duty of supporting a missionary in
some foreign field, and thus become
living link church.
