HOME AND FOREIGN MISSION.
Sister Margaret gave a very enjoyable address to the ladies of the local Presbyterian Church on Friday afternoon. In speaking of the attitude taken up by some folk that foreign people should be left to their own beliefs, and that there was no need of Christian missions. Sister Margaret gave many stirring accounts of the terrible effects of nuperstition and ignorance prevailing to day in China. Baby girls if they fall ill are almost invariably placed out in the public roads either to perish or be received by missionaries. Anyone can take these babies, but most frequently they are carried off by pariah dogs. In one Christian College alone, of two hundred inmates, one hundred of these are intelligent bright young women, who were gathered as babies off the streets by the missionaries. It is admitted by all thinking men who know anything of the real Eastern problem that the solution lies with the missionary, and the uplifting evangel and work he brings. It was decided to establish a branch of the Presbyteri-M Wo-r.sn'i Union i* l connection with the locJ church to further deepen interest in the great needs of both Home and Foreign Missions.
