Instead of teaching them how not to marry, it would be more profitable to teach them to properly marry. The race can not commend celebacy in either women or men. Hence, our race leaders must urge upon our parents to teach their children how to marry happily because the future of our racial life depends almost exclusively upon this proposition. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + SEDALIA, MISSOURI, FRIDAY, JANUARY 13 1905.

Satisfied with His Spelling. In Chicago there was once a politl. cian whose education wis somewhat defective, and who was not a “born speller.” He became prominent, and his ‘corcespondence, therefore, had a cortain importance. One day a par- tcular Mend came to see him, and said: “Look here, Willlam, you must have a secrstary to write your letters, and never undertake to write any yourself.” “Why?” asked the public man, “Recanse people are laughing at your letters, and they will do you harm.” “Why do they laugh at them?” tn astonishinent. “Beewnse you make so many mis- takes in spelling.” “Mistakes in spelling!” exclaimed the great man, "Nonsense! 1 read my Jetters ail over after I write them, and I never find a misspelt word.” > ‘There are many styles of blouses for } liner and theater wear, from the sim lo, duliity, sirlish waist, with graceful ines, to the moat elaborate creations af laces, brocades and velvets.

Dear ministers of the Central Missouri conference, greetings-- The officers of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society join me in thanking you for the money raised during the past conference year. Since it seems to be utterly impossible to keep alive subordinate societies among the women in the various charges, all money raised for the support of the General fund of this benevolent or ganization must be looked after by you. For the fund raised last year we are grateful, but, this year we urge you to do better. Our funds at present are exhausted, and we ask you to do what you can, for the "least" you do for Jesus is "precious" in his sight. That you may see what has been done we are delighted to quote the following as the total collections for the year beginning October 1, 1903 and ending October 1, 1904, $534,488,97. This shows an increase over preceding fiscal year of $43,397.22. Our aim is to excell this year even this good showing. Will you lend your strength? One of the most potent agencies in this spiritual conflict is the world wide organization of women into societies, develop in their energies to the uplifting of the standard of Godly womanhood among the nations. The Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church ranks all other in its scope of useful activities. Two hundred and seventy-two Missionaries represent the organizations in foreign fields, India, China, Burma, Japan, Corea, Mylissia, Africa, Italy, Bulgaria, Mexico, South America and the Phillipine Islands. During the past year twenty-three new missionaries who were home on furloughs, have sailed for foreign work. There still remain here for rest twenty. Three have been take to eternal rest, and eleven have changed. singled misery for marriage bliss. The work is so stupendous abroad that it requires 116 assistant Missionaries. 1400 Bible readers, 539 Day schools, 20 Orphanages and two women's Colleges to properly keep it in hand. The Society has in its Dav school 9537 pupils and 3000 are cared in the Orphanages. Aside from Colleges conducted (one in Japan and one in India) plans are being formulated to the establishment of one in Foo Chow, China. The brethern of the Central Missouri Conference should feel a special interest in this work, since a member of their own race has been clothed with episcopal authority and has sailed to Africa already to look after the work among his own. Bishop I. B. Scott should be assured by this conference that our sympathies are with him. Let each of us give two cents each week for this cause. God bless you in your work. Yours for the cause, Mr. M. J. Gibson, secretary. NEWS NOTES Editor Logan of the Professional World took dinner with his parents at New Bloomfield, Mo., recently.
