United Mission Study.

At the third meeting of the United
Mission Study class, Thursday after
noon, the devotional exercises were con-
Quoted by Mrs. H. N Turner and Mrs.
Rebecca Fairbanks. The watchword for
the meeting was, LET us rise to action,
work with one accord" This meeting,
the last to consider Moslem missions,
was devoted to the work of past mis-
sionaries and the opportunities for work
to be done. Mrs. ]. A. Thompson gave
an interesting sketch of Raymond Lull,
the first martyr missionary to Islam,
and often called the Morning Star"
prefacing her remarks with a briet
allusion to the general condition of the
country and the times in which he lived.
Miss Alice B. Warden outlined the life
and work of Henry Martyr, called the
Torch" of Moslem missions, the pioneer
missionary of modern centuries; also
of Ion Keith Falconer, called the
Trumpet" of Moslem missions, the
pioneer Arabian missionary. A mission
of the Free church of Scotland still bears
his name, but is sadly in want of
laborers. Miss Isabel Henderson spoke

life and work of Hesper Needham, the
saint of Sumatra, for 40 years a

restricted and discouraging conditions,
but privileged if only allowed to live a

senting abundant need and opportunity
for continued work Mrs. P. F. Hazer
read brief description of the great
university, the Mosque FL Azhar, and
interesting photographs loaned by E
A. Silsby were enjoyed. An impressive
reading by Mrs. E. N. Randall from "A

the real meanness OF the undisnified,

Z WHERE DOES We sTAEn7

"a Senator ~. s. Meredith Is counted

mission Ok the prohibition amendment

sspondent OF the wheeling News says:
The data given in the News the

tor will cast that one vote. II 1t is

ii Now, the question arlsea. Will Sen.
ntor Meredith vote as the "wets" ex-
pect him to? We nave never believed
he would In fact he said while he
was candidate that he would vote for
a properly worded amendment and we
understand ne authorized ths Morgan
. town papers to say during the CAM
.plisn that be would vote for submits
sion. Otherwise he would have been
cut very heavily in Monong;llia which
Is a very strong anti.liquor county.
Again, we believe Senator Meredith
is able to see the difference between
voting to- submit a question 10 the
people for their ratification or rcicc
(. ton and expressing his own opinion
on the matter. The legislators are not
passing on the question OF whether
We shall have license or no license In
the State. but they are saying whether
or not, the people shall have the right

to vote on the question. We shall
have to b. shown before we believe
