lion ; and as was said before, a penny
seems a verv small amount : vet if
eeventy million people would pay
one cent apiece to this great and
noble cause of missions, it would
come to seven hundred thousand
dollars. Some may say, "I haven't
but one or two cents, and I am

great harm to themselves, and bin

tianitv.
A German poet has said: "Do
that duty first which lies nearest
thee." What a noble precept) If
a small duty comes first m the way,
shirk it not because 'tis small, for
such are prerequisite to the per
formance of great duties. The
nearest duty to every church is its
duty to God and downtrodden,
ignorant humanity. No church is
complete with out a missionary j eo
ciety this ; Christian organization
belongs to church work. Tis an
organization in which all should be
concerned; but it made slow prog
ress until a few years ago, when
woman laid her hands to the work ;
since then it baa rapidly grown.
She realized that a . great work
awaited her ; and when woman sees
her duty, she is the most zealous
worker in accomplishing it.
Less than half a century ago it
was thought that woman, with her
weak hands and weaker intellect,
could do nothing of great worth.
When opportunity presented itself,
out of her supposed intellectual
weakness came the greatest strength.
When she, awoke to a sense of the
great duty of missions which was
devolving upon her, in her feeble
ness, she strove to perform her al
lotted task; she fostered and cared
for the "infant mission work; spent
nours ana nours in. getting it on
foot, anaf out of her first feeble
efforts ha3comeftheJ greatest, grand
est and most noble work on the face
of the earth." ! The smaU' deeds she
did was the means by which this
great caus9 was supported, was the
food that nourished it in its infancy;
and today the only sum the con
scientious woman has she will of ten
give to su stain this 1 great cause-of
Christ. She makes ; many 'sacrifices
to support Cie work of salvation.
When she becomes interested she
consecrates her whole life to the
workand fffiPis Qh reason-' w.hy
she; is better: fitted for? a missionary
than a? man. Soej possesses many
other qualities which! make ' her a
better worker. She jas a greater
loflaence; she has "a tenderer heart;
she has a mcreefined nature; she
has a keener sense of moral- duty
and religious duty. Her life is a
little 'fount from which powerful
streams of influence' flow'. So great
is her inflaenpethat if she stands
hare, drops a small stone of right
eousness in, the "great sea of time,1
circular waves? ever growing larger
and larger; bear her influence e ven j
to the dark shores of heathen lands, j
Now if you cannot go will you con
trioute what you! cuh to. send some
one who will go into heathendom
and teach them that they know not?
Are you not willing to do that: iittli
for the great, cause of Christ who
left His home in glory, inhabited a
mortal and suffering frame and
finally died an ignominious death on
the crpS3,tor you?? t. w
Not only should older people be
interested in this work, but child
hood and youth should be dedicated
to the service of God. Older peo
ple should be glad that they have a
little yet left to give to the cause of
Christ; but youth; should rejoice
that its whole life may be given.
Oh, would that the youthful ones of
every church would come with all
their health and bloom, and first
fruits untainted, and lay them on
the altaran offering which; age
cannot male; !: Youth has' many
little things which it might dedicate
to the greaiest cause which, ever en
gaged the attention of an intellectual
being. r ; , - . l - - .
; Nov in conclusion, let us hope
that every one will do everything he
can no matter how little to help.
the great cause of Home and Foreign
Missions, ; Co send the influential
bre6zjs of Christianity that they
may waft away th dark clouds of
ignorance and unbelief which hover
over heathen realms, and teach them;
how to live, so that when the sunset
of their lives" shall appear it will
leave beautiful reflections on the
evening clouds of time.
Callie Life.
Concord, N. 0, Oct. 14, '96.
At Savannah, New York, a most
beautiful phenomenon was seen re
cently by about a dozen people. It
was ourideal picture.'of an , angel;
It floated high in the air with flow
ing white robes and wings extended
and in appearance waa like a hu
man being with' their hair carried
loosely in the breezes. One foot
was slightly drawn up. Its motion
was 'graceful and it was seen for
mile3 moving gently toward the
northeast. One observer saw it
througbj a fiell glass and believes it
to be paper inflated with gas. It
seems a pity, to spoil so pleasant a
sensation with so simple an explana
tion.
Vice President Hobart finds that
there are already 800 babies named
alter mm and h3 is expecting a
goodly number more as the proper
time for naming takes place. It
will take no little of-his time to
provide for each a coat.
v One of the grandest scientific
achievements over-natural obstruc-
... . . : . i
tions was recently finished when
the Iron Gates of the Danube were
drilled and: blasted away .and the
famous Danube was made ah open
water way from its mouth to
Vienna. ' The cost was about 810,-
000,000. One blast contained thir
teen tons of dynamate and cost as
much as $7,600.

Other Eyes.
Our I's are ust as strong as
they were fifty jrtart ago, wnen
: we have cause to use them.
But we haye less and less cause
to praise ourselves, since others
.do the prfising, and we are
more than wifiiig for you to see
f us through . other eyes, l nis
is how we look f to S. F. 'Boyce,
wholesale and retail druggist, s
Duluth; 1 Mmnj 'who after a
quarter' of a" century of obser
vation writes : " '
! "I pave sbld Ayer's SaVsapa-
i rilla f or more-jjthan 25 -years,
both Sat wholesale; and retail,
and have never heard anything
but words of praise from my
customers; not a single com
plaint has ever-reached me. I
believe Ayer's j Sarsaparilla to
be the best blood purifier, that
has been introduced to the gen-
. f- m -
eral public." J This, trom a
man who has spld thousands of
dozens of Ayerj's Sarsaparilla,
is strong testimony. But it
only echoes popular sentiment
the world over, which has,
"Nothing but jvvords of praise
for Ayer's Sarsaparilla."
