WORLDS RELIGIOUS
CONFERENCE IN 1871
Hoped to Make 1t the Largest
and Most Representative
Ever Held.
From the Boston TRANSCRIPT,

ADSoS0AA
The committees which are working
upon plans for the world conference on
foreign missions, to be held in Edin-
burgh. Scotland, in June. 1910. have de-
termined that the conference shall be
representative Of all the Christian
bodies in the world having foreign mis-
sion work. It is said to be possible that
the Roman Catholic church will send
representatives to sit with the Protest
ant representatives and together con-
slider the missionary problems which
both great branches OF the Christian
church have to meet.
1t Is said that in the world arc some
500.00O,00O adherents of Christianity,
and probably twice that number who
have never been brought under Chris
tan influences. 1t is the expectation OF
the committees that 1000 men will rep
resent their churches at the Edinburgh
conference. and that the serious bust
ness of the conference will be to deter
mine how best the whole world may be
reached with the Christian message.
There have been two previous world
conferences on foreign missions. the
first In London, and the second in New
York in 1900. Next years conference
Is to be more comprehensive than
either of the preceding ones. all Eng
lish, Scotch, American and continental

1t will be the aim of the conference,
according to the plans of its leaders,
to emphasize the unity of effort on the
foreign field. For this reason 1t Is
planned to eliminate from the proceed
ings any discussion of sectarian char
acter To secure the utmost freedom OF
speech. the representatives will not be
asked officially to commit their respec-
tive denominations to any action, and
while the representation is to be official
In that men will be appointed to at
tend by their respective foreign mis-
sion boards or societies, the basis OF

propriated annually to foreign work.
they will not be really official nor Will
the conference be legislative body.
| In Immediate charge OF the confer
ence plans is an international commit
tee. This committee had meeting at
oxford. England. not long ago. at
which time 1t appointed eight commits
sions, each of 20 members. These COM
missions were appointed to study eight
phases of the missionary problem. They
are to make original research OF condi-
lions on foreign mission fields. They
| will present their data to the confer
ence when 1t assemblies. with their
| findings or recommendations, and these
reports will be made the basis of the
deliberations of the conference. This
| will prevent random discussion and VIII
make 1t is believed. the Edinburgh con-
ference the most important gathering,
from missionary standpoint, that has
ever been held.

who, full Of life and hope, had feeted the
hours 80 carelessy with his Grunne.
Fifteen years have passed and Antoine is a
rich man. Absorbed in the one engross-
ing subject of interest to him-his bust
ness-he had first defied. then forgotten
that hereditary disease which had carried
of, first his parents and then his broth
ers. He had broken down more than
once from overwork, but in the intoxica-
ton Of success the Undated spirit made
light of those signs which pointed only
too surely to Il drain on the system. But
there were times when the sunken eye
was too bright. the hollow cheek was too
flushed. to escape a wife's keen eye. 1t
was with great misgiv.ngs and much
against his will that Gronne had per-
suaded him to see noted physician.
There is no immediate cause for
ALARM" he said; and Gronne was COM
forted
But Antoine grew no better. nay as
spring came he grew worse, and Gronne
began to see that 1t was too late, and that
upon her beloved husband the world was
closing fast.
1t was scarce month now since one
day he had suddenly rallied and gone
down to business; but the eNertion had
brought on hemo-rhage, and since then
he had rapidly grown worse.
! AS he lay, white and wan, on the bed
SO refined of all faint of earth that his
soul seemed already to have taken flight.
Every now and then Gronne bent down
her ear to listen for the breathing of him
| who lay asleep. as If to assure herself
that life was still there. and that he had
| not fallen into the deep slumber from
which there is no awakening. Nurses and
doctors came and went, but she did not
heed them. but Thought only OF the love
she was losing. of the blank in her fu-
ture life.
While she was thus employed the eyes
opened and the pale face looked up to
her with a tender smile. Forgive me, -
he said. II worked for you. j see it now
If only had been content with less"
| Bitter tears stole down her cheeks as
she murmured: "There Is nothing to for
give you for. save loving me too much"
4 He then fell into light slumber; then
waking, spoke of beautiful groves and
| flowers. and summer-and SO died.

CHAPTER

In the low, damp basement Of house
on Canal street in New York a man was
working upon pair of trousers by the
light Of grimy. ill-smelling kerosene
lamp. AS he bent over the task and piled
his needle. the dark shadow of his NOV
Ing figure on the dirty wall paper repro
duced his every action in pantomime. as
though some brooding spirit of the night
Knocked his vain efforts to secure an equal
share in that heritage which God gave as
right to all his children.
1t was long past midnight and the man
had been at work since daylight. He was
SO thin and worn that the shadow and
substance seemed reversed, and the image
on the wall looked robust In comparison
with his frai body. His work was inter-
rupted from time to time by violent fits of
coughing which seemed to exhaust him SO
completely that he would lean forward and
rest his head on his work.
The room. which was small, appeared
to be living ROOM bedroom and work
shop combined. There was a bed in the
corner and on 1t, with her face turned to
the light. lay woman.
She was SO pale and wasted that 1t was
only the eager brightness of her watchfu
eyes that belied the appearance of DEATH
Every time the man looked up from his
work their eyes met. 1t was strange to
see how much alike those meeting glances
were. Each seemed to search the other
for q sign which, always present, reas-
sured them both. After while she turned
her face to the wall.
Four children were sleeping in the ROOM
two on the bed with the mother, and two
on an old mattress on the floor covered
by some garments ON which the father had
been working. The mother had been ac-
customed to do her share of sewing till
the rapid development of consumption
had stolen her strength. and left him to
work alone.
So he worked on. doing the share of
both; but as the night wore OH some UNI
| easy sense made him wonder why his wife
lay SO quiet in the shadow. He remem-
| bered where he had first seen her In their
home In far ..Way Bohemia. The OIL in
the lamp was burning low. and the shad-
ows in the room Geepened.
| AS the lamp tlickered and then went
| completely out he knelt by the side of the
bed and took her hand In his. But the
thin fingers returned no answering clasp.
The cold hand lay in his and seemed to
freeze his heart to stone.
! When the pale day crept into the room
through the broken shutters, and the chill
dren awoke, he was still kneeling by the
side Of the bed. A red stain of blood
marked the coverlet and formed a dark
pool on the floor. The gaunt hands,
stained with toll and wasted by disease,
were clasped together. Those looks of
anxious inquiry had been answered in the
dark hour that precedes the dawn

A girl Of some 10 years sat beneath the
vne-clad porch of her California home
waiting for some one to come. From her
seat she could see the sheen of the sun
Tight sparkling on the bosom of the blue
Pacific, as 1t stretched away to the west.
Overhead was sky of the deepest blue,
merging in the light haze of the hill
tops, whose Jagged edges formed a coro-
net about the bay The garden was
wealth of flowers; gently swaying palms
rustled in the breeze; the bills now. as
faint crimson, which contrasted with the
dark green Of the olives which hid their
lower slopes. Far away in the distance
droned the bell of the old mission, toll
ing the hours of vespers. All things were
filled with the Joy Of life. Gronne-for
that was her name-waited for her An

a young man came rapidly up from be-
hind and playfully putting hio hands
over her eyes asked her to guess who
1t was. He was tall and slirr, with dark.
pale features and deep set eyes. There
was almost girlish freshness in the face
as he smiled down upon his lady love.
"Gronne.' he said. / have just got a
new post in Frisco and a rise in salary.
