Hiss Thoburn Talks About the Missionary Servico in India and Its Needs. for. Mcleod's Address on Saints Patrick and Columba Mr. Foster Speaks on the Basis of Moral Reform Other Religion Topics. ' The Woman's Foreign Missionary Society, of the Methodist churches rere invited to meet at Roberts Park Church yesterday afternoon, to listen to an address by Miss Thoburn who has been, for the past twenty years, a missionary to India. Mrs. Kato Ilaynes presided, who, after opening hymns were sung and Dr. Keen had offered prayer, referred to Miss Thoburn as needing no introduction, especially to a Roberts Park audience. Miss Thoburn is ideally womanly. She has a sweet and kindly face, gentle voice and winning manner, and her talk was earnest and most pleasing. She was the first woman missionary sent to India twenty years ago. ' She wished to do such service in that country and Ttrote a letter, sending it to one who forwarded it to the Women's Foreign Society, - which had just been established in Boston, ty some returned missionaries, but at that time Miss Thoburn had not even heard of the organization. She was its first appointee. A few years ago 6ho returned to this country, as she was in failing health. She is now well and has been made superintendent of. the Deaconesses' Iiomo, at Cincinnati, which has just been established. During her talk, yesterday, she referred to the coming week as being a week of jubilee in the W. F. M. S., as it would celebrate its twentieth anniversary. "There is much to be thankful for." she caid, "not only from the societies, but each member. 1 have much to be thankful for. . 1 have given myself to God, and during my years of invalidism, that has seamed very little. If you would like to snd me. I sliould like to go back to India. I should not have known the personal sympathy, the personal and individual friendship and help, the hand-to-hand helpfulness if it had not been for this socity, and so I am thankful. The work has brought a realizing sense of responsibility, and no one is a true missionarv who does not gain in the work, not only there but in America. When I returned to this country in 1SS0 it was the first 1 knew of the W. r. M. S., except through the columns of the papers and pamphlets. The mission house and school m Lucknow, was the first land-mark established by the W. F. M. S. Then the society sent workers, and there was some one to work with, and word came that a house might be bought. The climate in March in India is much like, that we are experiencing in this latitude, only the sun is warmer. It is a month of bloom, and our home we call a garden of roses. The roses rnn riot. There are great climbers of Marechal Niel you can pluck a hundred almost anytime anojj in the gardeu are creat beds of mignonette, pansies and verbenas. The trees are in bloom, and full of bird notes. This is the place I have been pitied for having to live in. Guests have calv d the house the "Palace Beautiful." It was built by a rich Mohammedan for one of Lis courtiers, and was finally sold to us for about one-fiflh of its value. The ceilings are twenty feet high, and around it all is a broad portico. There are three school-rooms, and the rest are . living-rooms. Wo are often obliged to Bleep on the roof, and we can look off into a bowery plain, dotted here with steeples nnd minarets, and one would say: 'Surely this is not a heathen city.' The first helper .was sent to mo from this city, and her name was Jennie Tinsley. "On Sunday, which is a holiday, there is always a scene. The beggars couio out and range themselves on the roadway between the iiouse and the church, and by looking into their faces j'ou can tell if they really need help. You will see the leper and the blind. The Hindoostanee church at first had only about thirty attendants, and now it will not begin to . hold the Christians. The Sunday services are held at 7 o'clock in the morning and 'afterward the missionaries go into tho city to wrk. The home is at the edge of the city. There are many schools for the mission work, and the girls are sent out as teachers. There is another service late in' the afternoon, and in tho evening there is one in English. At first one dormitory was erected; now there are four, with one dwelling, one school and several Bible houses, and the success that has attended the efforts shows how God has accepted !them. The work reaches to all parts of tho country. The largest room in the honso ' will hold 100, and many have been converted in that room. The second year there were some about whom we were , 'anxious. Christmas was a high day, and a custom is to call and at each place to drink .wine. The same was also customary at the time of a wedding or baptism. Now I happened to think of my old home in Wheeling, W. Va., where wo had church at 5 o'clock in the morning. So for Christmas we arranged to have a prayer-meeting at 5 o'clock, and afterward gavethem a breakfast of hot coffee ana sandwiches, gome doubted that any would coine to tho meeting, but the room was full. We sent them away comfortable both in body and mind, and the custom has been continued ever since, and it has never been known for one whom we were anxious about to fall back. "In October, for four days, there is a holiday to worship gods. This was thought to be a good time for evangelistic effort, which was put forth, the preaching being in Euglish. The meetings were blessed and the numbers grew, till now some people come 1,000 miles to attend. The room and porches are full, tents are pitched and for four days wo keen tavern. No pos session has received more spiritual gifts a . a a t r . . m j&notner garnering is uio uistrici conierence. vhenl lust went to India thero were about eight or ten men missionaries; at the last conference there were more than one hundrea and fifty women; God wants a greater work. The women and girls want to be educated. They see that the women who come to them aro educated and are able to manaze and cov.rn. and that they have had 6oine preparation. Tho people in India want to know i.nglisn. They have now a grammar school cud a high school, and their ambition is rising not an ambition for name, but for usefulness aftid action, and in an essav read bv a irirl iust Deforo 1 left she said the peoplo will never eave India, till India's sons and daughters rise up to help.' Their eflorts to rise aro more difficult than yours, for women and Christians have no place in society and country, ana a greater preparation devolves upon them. Tho missionaries in India also want a college. When a woman becomes converted sho wants to bo directed, "but shrinks from going out alone. When we find they wish to work for themselves, it is encouraging." Miss Thoburn gives an account of a young girl who developed rapidly, and was bright and promising: when ho was fifteen her father told her to come home as he wanted her to marrv. but she refused, as she wished to remain at school. He objected and refused to pay lor iier tuition mougn he was abundantly able to do so. Shu went home, but retnrned to the school and offered some jewels she had to pay for her tuition. She persevered in her studies and won tho government scholarship, and paid her own wav bv teaching. "The school at Lucknow is about self-supporting," said Miss Thoburn. "We want to build the first Woman' Christian College in all Asia, to train a trong womanhood who can go out and es tablish work. lien anyono asks how inuch we want for that college, 1 say f-i. COO. but wo would beirin it if we had $10,000. and we want every one to give a special thank ottering to help establish tne college, and when you give think how much you nave to oe thanktui lor, ana now imio mo people m India have." Ireland and Scotland's Saints The Rev. Dr. McLeod, at the Second Pres byterian Chinch, delivered a lecture on "Saints Patrick and Columba" last night. Me chose for his text Hebrews xi, C3: "Who th Hi ugh faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions " Tlin subject was se lected in honor of the day, it being linked in the minds of the Irish people with home of the noblest minds of which their history and traditions can boast. Although the discourse was of a semi-historic character, it was cl aimed that the theme was a purely scriptural one, insomuch an the work cX tho taints was one inspired by

God and the teachings of the Bible.

The names of Saints Patrick and Columba, tho Doctor said, are not mentioned in either the Old or the New Testament, but the doc trine they taught is found all through the pages of those books. Tho fact that they lived after the canons of the Bible were written was no ground for their zeal and their evangelical work being underrated or to preclude their lives being chosen by a pastor as a fitting subject for a sermon. The two saints were considered as being almost simultaneous in their appearance in the great fields of Irish and Scotch missionary work. For fourteen centuries the name of Saint Patrick has been a household word in Irelann and in the daily life of IrishAmericans. Bv manv it has lone been believed, the Doctor continued, that about a srint clus ters so much God-sent power and purity as xo mane mm almost civine., ana, in inus losing sight of his hnni?nity, t o try to equal him was thoueht to be a hopeless task. This has given rise to many absurd stories of their great feats of physical and intel lectual power, but they are to be classified with the idle fables of tradition, enter taining to hear, but far too improbable to believe. Formerly, saints were said to t e perfect in tho make-up of their dispositions, never losing their temper or becoming im patient, but Saint Patrick was an execution. The only way to see and to understand the real character of this saint is to throw aside all his assumed, character and examine the man together with his faults, disregarding the mythical saint ana confining stutly to tho actual. Ot the early life of St. Patrick but little is known, his birth-place being even held in question iy historians. spa.n, trance, England, ales and Scotland ell claim tho honor, but it is commonly granted to Scotland. Dear as was his name in after years to Ireland, it is certain that she can not lay claim to being his native land. The earlier historical records show that he was kid naped at the ago of sixteen by a pirate who was a direct ancestor of Columbus. At this time he was unconverted, and for six years lie was held in slavery, serving as a keeper of flocks. Dnring his bondace he became converted, and bv his faith in God ho was the better able to endure with natience tho untrerhuzs that were heaped upon him. He finally succeeded in making his escape, and. going to his home on the banks of the Clyde, fie settled down with his parents. Here, he claims, he saw in a vision, a man holding in his hand several documents. One of these was handed to St. Patrick, and on it was a command to return to tho people in Ireland, not as a slave, but as a missionary. Obeyingtbecall, he lauded on Irish shores in 440, and began his evangelical labors. Before this time other missionaries had visited the island, but their efforts at introducing Christianity were very scrttering and difficult to trace, lne records aro even meager as to the extent of his work, he having left but three written productions. his "Confession," "Hymn" and "Epistle." The first two are but records ot what use he made of the Bible in his work, and the last is dedicated to a Y clsli pirate. Saint Patrick's creed was simple but effective. . The Presbyterians claim him, the Methodists think he was a typical preacher, the Baptist find no fault with his doctrine, except on tho question of infant baptism and immersion, and the Episco palians claim him as one of their bishops. Even the Koman Catholics are wont to believe ho was a follower of the Pope, but th re is no foundation to tlie theory that lie received his commission to preach from Home. His doctrine, tho Doctor said, was against the doctrine held out by the Catholic3 to-dav. and this is in direct opposition to tho dogma so common in that cnurcli that its belief has never chanced 6inceits foundation. Saint Patrick preached pure gospel and lived a holy life, and, it was claimed by tho Doctor, there has never been since his day a more consecrated, prayerlul, and spiritually minded man. His lovo for Ireland knew no bound, as is proved by his constant toiling among her people, for from the time of his landing, in 440, until the time of his death, in 403, he never left her shores on any mission whatever. A brief historical account of Saint Columba was then given. He was born in Ireland in 521, just fifty years after the influence of Saint Patrick had swept over the land. Educated in a monastery, he soou left Ireland and took up his labor in Scotland, where he did a grea t work in saving tho people." He died in 507, at the advanced age of seventy-seven. Thus Scotland gave Saint Patrick to Ireland, and Ireland returned the gift a half-century later by sendiug out Saint Columba, while both were given to the world. In conclusion. Dr. McLeod touched upon the relation of the Irish people to England, claiming that their oppression was due to the combined tyranny of Henry I of England and Adrian IV of IJome. The Irish schools were wiped out, and all tho work that had been begun by Christianity was 6topped. England has since continued to treat the people as slaves, confiscate their lands and diregard the cruelties of absentee landlordism. Tho Irish themselves have been partially to blame for their hardships, for thev abandoned the religion of Saint Patrick and allowed themselves to suffer from internal strifes and divided leadership. They have been inclined to gain right ends by unlawful and unchristian means, and through it all Irish whisky, it was claimed, has done as much harm as has English oppression. The remedies for this condition are simple. She must return to the religion of her patron saint and abandon her false ideas ot God's worship, and at the same tiino continue to agitate the question of independent government until England rights all tho wrongs she has committed. "I believe the day will soon come." said the Doctor. "when England will do this. Ireland can forget the past, for sho has a big heart, but she must look toward the future. The day is coming when all her religious and political wrongs will be righted, and when peace will be established. Such a state of anairs existed under bt. Patrick, and such win exist again." llasls of Moral Iteforms. In tho chapel of Butler University, last evening, tho Ilov. J. M. Foster, district sec retary of the National Reform Association, addressed a Urge audience on the basis of moral reforms. There are only two theories of civil government, he said; that of the infidel, which is that the state is only a wise human institution, and tho Christian theory, that it is an ordinance of God. The infidel theory is generally based on tho social compact. This idea was conceived in the mind of the atneist Uobbes, of Malmsbery. Denying the existence of any fixed standard of right, and consequently that there is any such thing as virtue or vice, this speculative philosopher resolved all law into one, the will ot tho Legislature. Here he found the staff of authority. Locke found here "the shield of liberty." Grotins and Kant, of Germany, found here the natural law. But its clearest assertion was in France; its highest development was in the Contract Social of Kousseau. In America it appeared in the convention that framed tho Constitution; for, as Franklin said, "with three or four exceptions, the convention thought prayers unnecessary." In the political writings of Adams the theory of Locke is maintained, while in those of Jjfferson the form of tho theory as maintained by Kousseau is apparent. In this day it appears in the "Demands of Liberalism." They aro the abrogation of Sabbath laws, the expulsion of tho Biblo.from the public schools, the elimination of the oath Irom the courts, and that the government bo administered on a purely secular basis. The indictment of tne theory, Mr. Foster continued, may be briefly written. It is uuhistorical; it postulates a pre-social state as the original condition of man. But of this pre-social state history gives no account. Man has been in society from the beginning, as all history testifies. The French nation adopted the intidel theory for a day aud an hour. The French Senate enacted that there is no God. Over the entrance to their cemeteries they wrote, "Death is an eternal sleep." A strumpet graced triumphal marches, and the conbequtneo was, tho reign of terror burst upon tho people like a clap of thunder from a clear sky. The fairest monuments of literature and art were committed to 'the flames. The streets ran red with blood. France was glad to abandon it. and adopted the only true theory, that civil government is an ordinance of God, a settled order of things being manifestly in harmony with tho Divine will, and that it has its necessity in the constitution of nature and its author it j' in God's word. Mr. Foster said the htate is every day exercising a power which does not reside in the individual or in the mass. Tho power comes from Almighty God. Law is the uniform manifestation of the will of God. Tho phrase of Hooker is too sublime ever to become trite: "Law has its seat in the bosom of the Father, and its voice is the harmony of tho world." All laws come from God,

said the wisest of the Greeks and RomansMinos, the lawyer of Crete, claimed to bo the son of Jupiter, and to have received his laws from his reputed father. Lycurgus, tho lawyer of Sparta, claimed as authority for his laws the oracle at Delphi. Nunia claimed as authority for his laws the nymph Egena. The Emperor of China is tho representative of Deity. Annually he observes a threedays' fast. Ihen, coming out of the palace in royal robes, with banners and bands of music, he marches to the temple, and, while the sacrifice is being offered, he rolls himself in tho dust ard utters words most disparaging to himself but most honoring to God, indicating that, as the head of the nation, he recognizes his responsibility to God. The Grand Lama in Thibet is the vicegerent of heaven. In this capacity he dispenses offices at pleasure, just as the Pope of Rome did in Europe for several centuries. These facts indicatethat there is an ineradicable conviction in every human soul that laws will not aind the conscience unless they come from God. As Blackstono said, "Any law that contravenes the law of God is no law at all." Man cannot make law; he can only discover and interpret it. Moral law has a double record. It is on the human soul and in the Ten Commandments. The commandments were proclaimed by the voice of God amid the flame and smoko of the quaking mountain, to indicate their majesty and authority, and written by the finger of God on two tables of stone, to indicate their nernetuitv. and

'then given to tho Jewish nation as their consuiuuon. iney are me oasis ox ulutai legislation. The majesty of this law has been committed to the state. The state is the keeper of both tables of the Decaloguo. Civil and religious freedom are in them. They are tho basis of all moral reforms. Chaplain of the Garfield Regiment. Rev. J. Harrison Jones, who served as chaplain of tho Ohio regiment which Gen. Garfield raised and commanded at the outbreak of tho civil war, preached in tho morning and evening at tho Third Christian Church j-esterday. Tho ex-chaplain, asonoof the pioneers in the work of the denomination to which he belongs, is widely known and generally esteemed throughout the country, and the main floor of tho new and beautiful church in which he preached last evening was crowded with appreciative listeners. He took for his text the words of Paul, wherein tho Apostle tells tho Corinthians that Christ had become tho light and life of the world, that old things had passed away and all things had become new, and taking the fall of man through Adam's sin as the beginning of human trouble, he preached a plain and earnest sermon, arguing that as mau had 6trayed from God in his heart ho must reverso tho roce eding to place himself in accord with lis Creator. As a sequel to the new lifo and new character which were gained by men who firmly resolved to serve the Lord the resurrection was a natural and fitting termination, and tho speaker devoted some time to a description of the final rewards of the Christian. The sermon throughout was filled with vigorous illustrations and commanded general attention throughout. At tho conclusion of his remarks. Mr. Jones sang, with much expression, the hymn, "Save Me a Crown," and dismissed the congregation with the benediction. An Impressive Song Service. There was a large congregation last night at the song service at Meridian-street Church. The . quartet choir, consisting of Mrs. Anna Walker, Miss Sadie Walker, Mr. A. Ernestinoff and Mr. Morris Moek, rendered the programme as announced yesterday very well, each being in good , voice.' Tho congregation may congratulate itself upon havine one of the finest ehoirs in the city. Mr. Cleveland set aside his regular sermon and cave a short talk on the power of music, first pavine a Inch complimcnt to Mr. Charles Han-4 6on. the blind onranist. for his commit ting power and admirable playing.. Mr. Cleveland illustrated his talk by describing the effect the playing of Ole Bull upon his , violin had upon the great inventor, Joan Ericsson, a portion of the sketch having been largely copied in the press since the . death or the famous inventor, l he service was very pleasing to the many present. Religious Notes. The fine weather during tho past (eyf, days was instrumental in bringing out the Salvation Army on the streets, with several reinforcements. A short service was lield on Washington street last night, between Illinois and Tennessee streets, after which, headed by a captain and a bass drum, the march was continued north on Illinois street and up Indiana avenue, where, mi . the canal bridge, they furnished entertainment for the residents in that vicinity.; i l Eighteen colored people were innherscd. in the canal, at the First-street bridge, yesterday morning, and afterward taken into full membership in Simpson Chapel. Rev. Thomas Price, of North Indianapolis, officiated in the absence of Elder Price. HE IS PRESIDENT. General Harrison Has Yielded None of the Prerogatives of Ills Great Office. Jfew York Herald. A week or two before Mr. Harrison's inauguration we expressed tho hone that having been duly elected to the office by the peoplehe would be President. It is, perhaps, a little early to speak, be cause he has been in olnceonly twelvedays, but we have been watching his course with a good deal of care and interest, and so far, at any rate, we are glad to see that the new President is actually President. Few men in that high office certainly not Air. Cleveland, and scarcelj- his predecessors sinco Lincoln have been exposed to so vigorous anu ueiermiueu an attacK, from allsides, as Mr. Harrison. Whether it is because, as an exasperated Republican recently said, he is 'tho head of a party most ot whom can read and write," or whether four years in the minority have made the Republicans ferociously hungry it remains true that tho onset ot olhceeeekers and their friends in Washington has been uncommonly savage. The conntrv is creatly pleased that Mr. Harrison has made what we may fairly call a gallant and effective resistance. There were many in his own party who dolorously prophesied that he would be the tool of Mr. Blaine, the obedient servant of the im perious Senatorial set, the prey of the great' herd of office-seekers, the victim of faction leaders. But so far he is nono of these things. Mr. Harrison remains President, and we may as well tell him that in this ho has greatly pleased tho mass of his own party and the people in general. He made his own Cabinet. He has evi dently made his own foreign appointments. He has in spite of pertinacious efforts to drive him from his purpose and tho promise of his platform appointed residents of tho Territories to the olfices in them, instead of giving these places to a parcel of bankrupt politicians irom me rast, as nis preuecessors did. He has made a few excellent ap pointments to fill the higher department places. And on Thursday he gavenotico that he would hear no more appeals for oince lor tne present. So far, then, the President remains Presi dent. Let him co on in the same path. The people chose him to the office, and not an irresponsible set of Party leaders. He, and he alone, is responsible to the whole country for the execution of his trreat otlice. He is not there to gratify one part' leader's animosities, or to reward another one's favorites. He was elected bv the people to be President, and they are glad to see that he is President. i .I Not in Line. Pittsburg Clironicic As the residential succession bill was passed before the Department of Agriculture was established, the Cabinet officer at the head of that department is not In line as a contingent President. But thero is hardly any possibility of the death or in capacity of the President. Vice-president aud tho other seven Cabinet ministers. The possible succession to the Presidency of the eighth member of the Cabinet would bo a very renioto one indeed. Wetter Than the Democratic Method. Springfield Republican. There is a good deal of shrewd politics in President Harrison's recognition of tho Territories at this time. It will be re membered of the Republican party when statehood is reached. The new Governor of Arizona, named yesterday. Lewis Woltley, is a prominent resident of Tucson. "I cannot sine to-niirhtt Ah! mv throat is sore aud nothing helps it."

The child has always been kept in the barn with the cattle, and h?s never been permitted to associate with its brothers and sisters. General Grant's Concise Expressions. Boston Advertiser.
