APRIL 4, 1896. S. it. Qod, and Humanity. EDITED BY THE MEMBERS.

We meet every two weeks at the homdTof the i orresponding Secretary, Mrs. Walrond. Next regular meeting April 4, at 3 p. m. The gentlemen members are expected to be present at our meet- 1 Ing when practical.

The Lord sitteth upon the flood; yea, the Lord sitteth king Psalms 29-10. Be such a man, live such a life that if every man were like every life a life like yours, this earth would be God's Which of your boys, the heaven of your heart and life, will you giv in orderthat your city may be lighted with gas or brilliant with electric light? hich child can; you spare to help your city gradf mad pave its streets? How long win you consent to tread on sidewalks that the blood of souls has enabled yottr city to lay for your J. Aldrich. Patti has uttered some strong conv ictions on the effect of alcoholic the human yoice She thinkjjli any one who aspires to success as ai vocalist should be a total abstainer. She says: "Alcoholic stimulants of any kind tend to irritate the throat and should be entirely abstained from.

Even light wines are no exception to this rule. Most people are familiar with the hoarse voice of the hard drinker, and it is often said of such an individual that he has burned his throat with drink. Even a moderate use of alcohol may therefore tend to make the voice husky." Where Women Vote. Women have municipal suffrage in Cape Colony which rules 2,000,000 square miles. In Arkansas and Missouri women vote, by petition, on liquor license, in many eases.

In Montana women suffrage on local taxation is guaranteed by the state jf constitution. Municipal woman suffrage rules in New Zealand and at parliamentary elections also. In England, Scotland and Wales women vote for all elective officers, except members of parliament. In the United States twenty-eight states and territories have given women some form of suffarage. In the Madras presidency and the Bombay presidency (Hindustan', they can do so in all municiplitics.

In Utah women voted until disfranchised by the "Edmund's law" when they organized to demand its repeal. In New York they can and do vote at school elections. The quetion of the constitutionality of the law is still undecided. Our "chief" has said: "I have no fear for the women of Amcria They will never content themselves with remaining stationary in methods or policy, much lees sound a retreat in their splendid warfare against the saloon in law and the saloon in politics. The voices of Mirian still cheers the brave advance, and battle-cry' 'Speak unto tho children of Israel that they go forward' V.

At tho M. E. Conference at Pacific Grove, Rev. C. E.

Rich made an address on "The State of the Country," which was earnestly applauded and was ordered printed in the minutes. Mr. Rich said: "The womanhood of the nation has demonstrated its more than equal right to equal representation in every avenue of Christian and patriotic service by the amazing audacity with which it plans campaigns upon the kingdoms of darkness, advancing while men are faltering, and exulting in anticipated victories while men are crying it can't be done. Societies of womanhood of various ministries are found in every city and hamlet, while the vast army of one- half a million conseoratcd mothers and daughters, with the spirit cf Christ in their hearts, are in forty departments of Christian service, ar will soon stand before the crowne heads of the world and demand in the spirit of love the uplift of a univertal womanhood." Elisabeth Cleveland to the gfrltof bar land in the following convincing "I wish some strong, bright angel stood before yon just now, while yon read, girls, to (lash before you as no words of mine can, the power you possess to help or hinder the cause of temperance; to make you feel your responsibility because you are girls in this matter, to shudder at its weight and never cease trying to fulfill it. When the time comes that the young man who now shares his time in your company and the saloon; who jokes about temperance in your presence and takes a glass socially now and len, is made to feel that these things cannot be if you are to be his companion at party, ride or church; that good society cannot tolerate these things in its members; in short, that this kind of man is unfashionable and unpopular, then alcohol will tremble on its throne, and the liquor traffic will hide its cancerous Muskogee Lodge.

M. H. J. Evans, Sec. When we are told that certain evils cannot be helped, and that we may as well let things alone, let us remember that experience has taught differently.

Evils can be helped, and to let things alone is to lend ourselves to the James T. Fields. Dr. Bonar had a dream that the angels took his zeal and weiged it, and told him that it was exellent, for it weighed plump that could be asked. He was greatly gratified at the result.

Next they wished to analyze it. They put in a cruciable and tested it in various ways with this result: 14 parts were selfishness, 15 parts sectarianism, 22 parts ambition, 23 parts love to man, and 26 parts love to God. He awoke humbled and determined on a new consecration. From Texanna. Rev.

F. M. Moore: will let you hear from Canadian Circuit again. Our Second Quarterly Conference convened hero on the 20th of this month with our beloved elder, C. M.

Coppedge, presiding, who did the business impartially, with dignity and meekness, looking after the welfare of the several churches embraced in this moral vineyard. He preached one soul-stirring and convincing sermon. Brother Coppedge is a fine preacher and our people' are greatly in love with him. Rev. Wm.

P. Pipkin, pastor of the Brushy Mountain Circuit, was present and preached an excellent sermon, making us all feel like living better and doing more for the cause in the future. Come again, Brother Pipkin, and your voice shall ring out in our new church. We would be glad to see you at any time. We have moved into our new parsonage, built since Conference, and best of all out of debt, save a few dollars.

It is a neat house, with three rooms and porch, and last but not least a goo'd well of water, made by a young man who is not a member of any church. May God bless Mr. Eddy for this donation. Our parsonage cost 8316.81. Our circuit is on the up-grade.

Four good prayer meetings, three Sunday Schools doing good work, and congregations growing and interest deepening. The charge is improving on all lines. We are looking after the interests of OUR BROTHER IN RED. The outlook is good for a prosperous year. God bless the brethren of the Indian Mission Conference.
