Lawn .and fields and ti'ces arc brightened _ by a spirit wholly new. The liroad sky from its horizon domes the ihc earth with pui'est blue, .And a fragrant touch of softness from the far off t’^i'i'ic se.as Comes in warning, wooing wavelets on the .April-waftcd breeze. It is Life from Death returning, it is “seed time’s’' holy trust, It is faith that Life is primal, and shall triumph over Dust; That the seeming earthly losses aie not fashioned to remain, lint at last a Kesnm‘ction niakes L’fe's knotty problems plain. the wonder and the sweetness of that life in Nazareth, Nature Joins and liolds the forces that shall trininpli over Death;. .And her symbols, dear .and dearer to the dullest eyes appear, In the earth's new painted glories, never failing, year by year! —Jour. BusTox. The true Ci istian is not a grave formalist, or a rnau full of studied gravity, Eiut one in whom there is “fullness of joy” of that Sublime character which imparts vigor to the body and ennoblement to the soul,—Rev. Charles Close. WOMAN. Dear Editor:—If you are not tired of my scribbling I would like to say something in favor of our sisters, tocheer them in the work they are doing in behalf of our cause, ‘Oh.” you say, “by woman came sin into the woild, and some of the writers have said that they mustenquireof their husbands at home what they should want to know.” All this is very true, but did you ever stop to rt fleet, that wo man was the mother of the one that came to redeem us from that sin that was com mitted in the garden of Eden? And did you ever think w'‘bat good theinformation at home would do, if they were not al lowed to reveal it abroad? Her gentle loving nature and confiding disposition is prone to attract herself to others besides her own household. It is true, woman owes much to religion, but religion owes much to her also. By a ten der young virgin Jesus was sent into the world for our sins. By a woman’s faith she was made whole by touching the hem of his garment. By a woman’s faith, who was a stranger and desired only a few crumbs of his blessings to heal her daughter, was comforted and told to go in peace, and in thosedays when he walked this w'orld women were his truest friends. Who ever betrayed, denied or de serted him? They never did. They were the nearest to bis cross, and earliest to his sepulcher. They were faithful when others were not, and gave ready promise of that devotedness to his cause. It was by a woman that he sene the message to his disci ples to meet him in Gallilee. You may go through any of our Christian homes, and you will find that the mother, sis ter, wifi or daughters are more Christlike than father, husband, brother, or sou. More children will be found who say their earliest, deepest religious impression, was caused by a mother’s care and pieiy. So brethren, re mem b e r the good work the sisters are doing in the cause of the Master, and help them in every way possible. Sisters, do not feel timid when you see a chance to do good, doit by all means. Your sex has caused many a man to reform, and become a better man. Remember the woman who conversed with Christ at the well, how she fled into the city and told the people that she bad found the Messiah, and many of them believed on him through that act. What kind and gener ous deeds old sister Dorcas did in and around the city of Joppa. Never did mother em brace a rhfld as did ^vfary hug the foot of the cross while her dying Sen was banging on it. Never was Christ more eagerly sought than on the first day of the week, wh«n the woman went to anoint him. Never was there more humbleness shown than wbt n the woman washed his fett with her tears and wiped them with berhair, and never did he say so much of anyore as be did of her, for he said, Wherever this gospel should be preached ibis deedofhtrs should be spoken of as a me morial of her.” He has said, that the gospel must be preached to all nations, and that means that she must be spoken of to all nations. Where is there siioiher char acter in the Bible that is spo ken so well of by the Master? What he said of John the Baptist was not any better, though ic was as good, and there are numerous places we could mention, but space will not allow us to do so. Sisters, remember your rights, and do your duty, is the prayer of one that loves the cause. Your unworthy Bro. Joseph B. Rigsbee. Pinners, Va. 'hope DAWNS IN STRICKEN JA PAN. This is confirmed by the fol lowing cable which left Sendai on April 11: Half a million now receiv ing aid. Immediate prospects better, owing to public works and warmer weather. Abun dant sympathy been shown by foreign lands. Missionary committee received 100,000 yen [about $50,000], and made four distributions of re lief, one being made exclusive ly with contributions received through Christian Herald. We plan to close work end of May, meanwhile doing every thing possible to help. [signed] Davison. WORKING FOR THE CROWN. Dear Editor:—As it has been some time since I wrote any for the Baptist I will write a few lines. I am still working for the crown. I was in Chesteriteld Co. the first Sunday, and had a good meeting at Cross Branch their church. It is a lively little church. While I was over there, I met the good pas tor of the church. B’d. A Goodale He is a consecrated Christian man and doing much good for our cause. I am netting ready to go to Mt. Zion Sunday. Idontget much rest, but I am willing to go any where at any time, to please the Master. Much is being said af'out holiness. I am glad that I iivein a place where the people believe in holiness, for it is Bible doc trine, and we cannot afford to live withoutit. Youknow dear friends, the woman said, if she could but just touch bis garments, she would be whole, and she was made whole right then, complete without the second work of grace. We hear the Saviour say so, and we know it is so. I will.say, that my letter on the 14th of Feb. made me think of the Apostle Paul, when the ang.l said, “come over in Macedonia and help us,” so when Bso, W, B. Boon saw my letter in the paper, he called for me, and I went, and I am to go again some time soon, the Lord being willing. I will close. I thought I would just write a few lines to let you know I loved the name of Free Will Baprist and am workingforthecause. Brethren and sisters, pray for me in my woik. Your brother in the minis try. J. T. Crawford. Bennettsville, S. C. It is cheering to know that the outlook is now so hopeful although the efforts of the re lief workers will not be relax ed for another month, as Mr. Davison intimates. M e a n- hile, details of the great battle that has been waged the lonely,’ snowbound villages and hamlets of the north are now being received from the missionaries. The Charman of the Fore ign CommitteeofRelief, writes from Sendai, under date of March 21, as follows: T have just returned from another trip of four days among the famine-striken people, for whose relief I took several thousand yen. The officials bad thought that the worst would be reached by the middle of this month, but there is still some increase in the number of those who need help. Hundreds oftbousands will have to be helped during April, May and June. Then there will be a great decrease, and comparatively few will have to be helped until the new crop is harvested in October. “This year, whenfood-stuffs must be brought in from the outside, when they have no money to buy after the food is brought in, and when the farmers have no work for even themselves, the poorest people must receive help from somewhere. In Miyagi Ken more than one-third of all the people are already on the oflicial list as paupers {ky- umin), and unless looked al ter by village, town and city offices many of them will soon die of hunger. “The policy of the officials is to give no help^extre^j; where absolutely needed. Many will suft'er inconveni ence, and many will know by experience what arethepangs of hunger, but somehow or other more than 2,000,000 of the people will be able to get along. But what of the oth ers? In order that there may be no epidemic among the poor, their food is being care, fully examined by official physicians. The Government national and local, is doing all in its power to provide relief work, but as yet there are no plans to care for the sick and the aged. Here in North Japan there is much room lor generous giving to help the people in this their time of great need. William Lampe.” “There is arn»d all this misery much ofnoblesuiTering and richest sympathy. Of course, a mother with a true heart will go without food for days in order to save her little ores form the pains of actual starvation. But what a rich vein of altruism, when you see score of school chil dren who have had little or no breakfast and have brought no lunch to school called one side by the teacher and given the free lunch pro vided by charity—to see sev eral of them slyly conceal half or more of the food 'to take home to my sick mother,' or to give to my baby brother.’ Surely the prople are worthy of the world’s bestsympatby, are worthy of being saved. “If possible, no one is al lowed to starve. That is the rule. That some do starve to death, is also a fact. A man was found dying from lack of food. ‘Why do you not come to the office and get rations? was asked him. His reply shows the metal of the men who made Bushido and who won the Manchurian victories: ’If my descendants should in atcer generations leain that one of their ances tors had received public aid, it would be a cause of bitter shame to them.’ The sum of $25,000 has this week been cabled from The Christian Herald Re lief.Fund to Japan, through our State Department, to be expended, like the previous remittances, in the purchase and distribution of food for the sufferers. Up to the pres ent time the remittances by The Christian Herald Fund to the famine field have reached a grand total of $180,500. ARKANSAS ASSOCIATION.
