How Japanese Women Witness For
 Christ.

After the singing of the hymn, O God. Dur Help. a missionary address was given by Mrs. Cora Keith Warren of Tott3ri. Japan, upon How Japanese Women Witness For Christ. She said in part:
 Fifty years ago a Japanese woman's whole duty was humble obedience to her father, husband or son. and she was considered too stupid to learn, and, too, so inferior that she must not even be permitted to hear what her broth CTS were learning. Now the govern ment is furnishing high schools for e priva te schools with still higher courses for women. There can be no doubt that this and the enlarging in ffuence of women in Japan must be aScribed to the introduction of Chris tian ideals.
 Women's societies have a recognized function in the regular and special activities of the churches. Women workers are recognized and honored, not only by their own churches, but at national conventions and conferences. The Christian teacher in the public school, the Christian mother in the home, the Christian neighbor-w1o can estimate the influence they yield? Earnestly an1 faithfully. ycs, and sue cessfully, the wife of the Christian pastor, the Christian kindergartner, and the Bible woman, labor for the uplifting and comforting of the women about them. These women are the product of Christian effort. We who have ourselves so great blessing in our Christian surroundings should never cease to pray for them that they may be true and wise and faith full
 Changing Light in MosIenn Homes.
 The missionary message from Tur- key was given by Mrs. George F. Knapp, Harpoot. Turkey, who spoke upon The Changing Light in Moslem Homes She described in a general way what the life of a Mohammedan woman means in Eastern Turkey, and said that one of the great defects of Islam is the position of womanhood, and when we begin to see that that position is changing, ever so little, then we have some reason to hope that better day is truly coming for women in Western Asia.
 An influential Moslen, attending some public examinations at one of our mission schools in the capacity of a government official, was surprised at what he saw of ability and confidence in girls as they took part in the exer- eiSeS. and later expressed to the mis- sionary the hope that the day was not far away when girls from Turkish homes would show a like-advance.
 The influential Noslem said the diff ference between your womenNand ours. l believe, is your religion. Yes that is the truth of the wohle matter. And It is only as we shall carry this to A1OSleTn hO1neS--the truth as it is found in Christ Jesus-that the true light will come to them Hear the cry that goes up from lonely workers who have waited long for endorsements with hope deferred but hearts of fire. Far above the fight is our Captain. and ev- cry missionary to the MosIean turns to the 18th cbaper of Revelation and I believe God gave it to us for this very time, for the women of Western Asia Let Us each one see to it that the light does not fail of reaching these sis terS.
