mapped out.

NEBRASKA.

Omaha, Neb.. Nov. 1.-The cam
paign in Nebraska which closes to-
day has been very dull and uninter-
esting, owing to the fact that the only
state officers to be elected are three
judges of the supreme court and three
regents of the State university. A
number of county officers are chosen
which has given local interest to the
contests locally in many counties.
Of the candidates for the supreme
bench two of the Republican nominees,
Barnes and Fawcett are present in
,curnbents and the third. Sedgwick. is
a former member of that court. The
Democrats and Populists have united
on three candidates in opposition,

of the court by appointment from

Missionary Notes.
BY THE SOCIETY.

The first quarter Of our mission
airy year is past, the books are
closed, the report is sent in, and did
we do our whole duty in making it
the very best report we could in every
way? Have we attended our meet
ings and tried to get others to come?
Have we given Of our substance 'ac-
cording as the Lord hath prospered
us?' Let US try to maks this year
the very best in the history of our
society. We are to have a cam
paign for new members in the fall.
Special literature will be prepared
by Mrs. J. B. Cobb, and distributed
in September and October. In No
vember an active canvass will be
made for new members, when we
hope to increase our membership to
1000. We can do it if we will.
Shall / say WE WILL? Let US pray
more, give more, and work more, and
look to our Heavenly Father for the
increase" So writes our Correspond
ing Secretary, Mrs. S. A. Montgom-
cry.
Let us see to it that we do our
part in helping to bring about these
much to be desired results, and with
the help of our God we can do it if
we will.
Miss Montgomery also calls our
attention to another item of interest,
Q summer conference of Christian
workers to be held at the Seashore
Camp Grounds, Biloxi, Miss, July
|23. Some of our leading workers
will be there, and the best methods
Of work and service will be brought
out.
Onr Pledge for the support Of
missionaries has remained the same
for several years and last year We
fell short on that. Are we doing
our best? We fear not. Each year
the other conferences are raising
their pledges as the work grows, and
the demands for money increase.
We should not confne ourselves to
the support Of Helen Johnston, and
Ada Parker, but raise our pledge
each year and let it be applied where
it is most needed.
Now, our Corresponding Secretary
is right, and if each woman in the
the church, would join the society,
and do her part, there is no telling
what we might accomplish. But
whether others will or no, we mean
to go forward, doing the best we
can with our little band of faithful
workers, and in the glad harvest
home" we know We shall have some
sheaves to lay at our Masters feet.
