MY MOTHER.
In MemOriam.

Especial for ByStander.t
Nine years ago this twentieth day
of March, it was o'clock upon Mon
day eve, that Elizabeth Logan Riggs
from us did part.
She was a good and loving mother
to her daughters two, and a daughter
and aunt so devoted and a wife so
faithful and true.
In her church, lodge and clubs she
was an active member land when
death to her called, how honorably
did she surrender.
Her motives all were good, her
many great deeds were loyal and she
will be forever missed by her lonely
little daughter.
How sad it is to recall that lonely
night kissed her cheek so dead, as
she lay within her lonely, but pretty
lavender bed.
My all and all had gone, never to
return. All 1 have are her letters OF
love and l read them to give me cour-
age as she watches from above.
She and father are in heaven with
Jesus. and other loved ones, and they
beckon us to come and partake Of
what God hath given.

WORK OF NATIONAL BAPTIST
FOREIGN MISSION BOARD
Needs Of Field Workers Presented BY
Secretary L. G. Jordan.

Rev. DR.. L. G.. Jordan, corresponding
secretary Of the foreign mission board
of the national Baptist convention, IS
to be congratulated upon the success
Of the work in the foreign field during:
his administration. He is a tireless:
worker and has travelled In all sections
of the country in the interest of the
foreign mission work Of the denomina->
tons from year to year.
II is doubtful whether his equal could
be found in the denomination so far as
ambition, love for the work and ez-
perience in the many exacting details
Of missionary management are concern
ed. DR.. Jordan is now making an ef-
fort to raise sufficient money to meet
the needs of the workers in the foreign
field by April Is. The churches and
Sunday schools Of the denomination
throughout the jurisdiction Of the con-
vention are asked to make offerings
for missions on Easter Sunday. -
In speaking of the importance OF
paying the missionaries their salaries
promptly DIR. Jordan says: "Of course
our work Is too scattered to do what
should be done with the small amount
OF money raised yearly. Think of try
ing to push work In West Africa with
three missionaries. work in South
Africa with no more than twenty work
ers. work In Central Africa with five
workers, work in East Africa with four
workers and work in the West Indies
with seven workers: At every point
there are debts and. at many, unfin-
ished houses. 1t will take $4,000 this
year to adequately put our stations in
first class shape and pay our workers.
If we can get $4,000 from our Easter
rally we can greatly relieve many Of
our pressing needs" Hell. n .s,
