The Executor of an Estate Must Always Be At His Post An individual may be siclfc for months, abroad for health or pleasure, or absent from the city at a critical time when action * is needed. He often refuses to give the parties interested any definite information as to the condition of the estate, and a suit for accounting becomes necessary; or his beoks are kept so carelessly* that no one can tell how matters stand, and, in case a friend of the family is acting as executor, it is often embarrassing to insist ou a statement. The Probate Court of Marion county issues numerous citations every year for failure to account. THE INDIANA TRUST COMPANY is always represented by some officer familiar with its aitairs. It will see that business is promptly attended to; its doors are open during business hours; its aefcounts are kept in the most accurate manner—promptly filed in court—and any one having a right to see the books can do so at any time.

New York Banka Satisfied with Eastern Financial Situation—Local Markets Under the Weather. • a At New York, Saturday, money on call was nominally at 2%@3 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, per cent. Sterling exchango was firm, with actual business in bankers’ bills at $4.84% for demand and at $4.52%®4.82% for sixty days; posted rates, $4.82 1 /2 1 g4.83V2 and $4.85%; commercial bills, $4.81. Silver certificates, 58tf158%c; bar silver, 68%c; Mexican dollars, 44%c. At London bar silver closed steady at 27 3-16d an ounce. The exports of specie from the port of New York for the week amounted to $921,743 in silver; no gold. The imports for the week were: Gold, $1,762,966; silver, $54,913; dry goods, 31,389,213; general merchandise, $7,051,281. The New York weekly bank statement shows the following changes: Surplus reserve, increase $1,129,000 Loans, decrease 2,614,100 Specie, increase 938,200 Legal tender, increase 26,400 Deposits, decrease 467,6(0 Circulation, increase 46,500 The banks now hold $14,614,500 in excess of the requirement of the 25 per cent. rule. The New York Financier says; “A feature of the statement of the Associated Banks of New York city for the week ending Oct. 16 that attracted some attention was the shrinkage in loans. It is rather difficult to explain the loss except on the theory that there has been a great deal of liquidation in Stock Exchange business and an analysis of the items of the individual banks shows that the loan changes in two large institutions—the National Union and the National City Banks—account for the difference reported since the previous week. The effect of the gold imports is shown in the increase of specie. The gain of legal tenders—the first expansion in this item since Aug. 28— seems to show that the interior movement is nearing an end. This is not exactly the case, although the drain during the week has been less than usual, and the treasury demands have been light. All the gold imported last week does not figure in the totals, so it is reasonable to suppose that the position of the banks so far as cash is concerned is stronger than indicated. The statement points to an easier money market, in the absence of any marked activity in speculation, and the official sta!ements of the.national banks of the United States, as published last week, showing their strong position with reference to reserves, strengthen this view. The rising rates for money abioad and the continued ease heretofore shew a situation such as prevailed last season, when the United States loaned large amounts to Europe on sterling bills. The quotations for money in New’ York and London are undergoing changes w hich will probably place foreign above domestic rates for some time to come." The total sales of stocks Saturday were 136,GtX) shares, including: Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, 8,20j>; Louisville Nashville, 3.610; Northern Pacific preferred. 5,425; Rook Island, 3.825; St. Paul, 10,100; Union Pacific, 8,659; American Tobacco, 6,164; Bay State Gas, 7,3ut>; Cnicago Gas, 23.445; Sugar, 9.U10; Chicago Gieat Western, 3,320. NARROW FLUCTUATIONS. There was nothing to indicate any urgent covering of short contracts in Saturday’s New York stock market, such as is very often customary at the close of a week of a bear campaign. The market showed a firm tone during the greater part of thq day’s trading, but the fluctuations were very narrow’, and the close was at small declines from the best. These were in sympathy with a break of % in Manhattan on short sales, and of a point in Chicago Gas. which was the most striking demonstration by the bears during the day. Both parties in the market seemed equally apathetic. There was good buying in the two leading specialties, Chicago Gas and Sugar, the former equally attributed to a purpose of inside interests to acquire stock and a maneuver to squeeze the shorts. Missouri Pacific was offered to some extent, probably in sympathy with the drive against Manhattan. Union Paciiic exhibited some depression on account of the expressed criticisms of the minimum bid agreed to by the government for the satisfaction of its claim and agreement to the foreclosure sale. London was a buyer on balance Saturday to a small extent, and afforded some support to the market. None of the leading stocks show important net changes, but most of these are gains. Experts have been watching the market now for signs that it has turned upwards again Suc h a process has apparently beer, inaugurated twice during the week, but the upward course came to a stop with the closing of short contracts and reaction resumed its sway. The reactionary tendency has now continued dominant for about a month and the average decline in that time is about rne-half as much os was the rise in the previous four months of the hull market. Statistics might be cited of the proportions of reaction to decline after previous great bull markets, but precedents ure misleading and various. The main fact is that even in the full tide of the conditions which induce an advance in prices of securities it is invariably the rule that a backward swing occurs covering a material part through the whole of the advance. The professional traders sold out their stocks a month ago at the high prices and they don’t care to buy again so long as ther is prospect of causing further declines. During the week many holders of stocks who huve been persistent in holding for a turn, have become disgusted and have liquidated on a large scale to save further loss, thus giving mat' rial assistance to th<* bear party. The motives assigned for the selling are various ; nd of little reul force, as is demonstrate/ by the fact th.it when the alleged cause removed there is no cessation in the recline. The reaction began with the exprec.-ed fear of a stringency In the money market. There has been no stringency, and It is now evident that there will not be. The motive of last w’eek’s selling was alleged to be fears of damage by drought, but the breaking of the drought

on last Sunday has not restored confidence to buyers. FREIGHT RATE QUESTION. Much has been made of the unfavorable effect on railroad values, which follow adverse decisions by the Supreme Court in the maximum freight rate case and Joint Traffic Association case. Yet the prevalent belief in the street is that the right of the State of Nebraska to fix maximum freight rates will be denied, and there has never been much doubt felt that the Joint Traffic Association will be declared illegal, as was the Transmissouii Freight Association. There is more sincerity in the apprehension expressed that the Cuban problem will ultimately lead to a rupture with Spain. The substantial harm done by the yellow fever outbreak and the consequent interruption to railroad traffic is brought in evidence by the decreased earnings shown by the milroads in the territory affected. Tne admitted rate cutting by the railroads is also leared for its effect on earnings, as is the falling oft in the grain movement. The returns of railroad earnings nevertheless continue to make large showings, said to be due to the movement of general merchandise and passengers. The trade reviews all report continued expansion in their lines, the improvement in the iron industry being especially marked. The increase in the output of pig iron and the decrease in the stocks indicates that the rate of consumption has increased about 40 per cent, since July 1. Further engagements of gold for import were expected to have been made this week, but the purchases of exchange bills against last week’s engagements have kept the rate of exchange above the import point. This point has also been lowered by the advance in the price of gold bullion in London and by the rise in discount rates at London, Baris and Berlin. Avery heavy movement of goid before the season ends is considered inevitable. London has ceased to sell American securities in the New York market, and this week has been a buyer. The government’s trade statement for September shows a balance of trade for the month in favor of this country of over $62,090,000. The movement of cotton, now just gaining full fide, is expected to give a heavy balance for October in this country’s lavor. It is to be borne in mind, however, that the low price of cotton prevailing will make a great difference in the amount of exchange demand to pay for the exports. To-day’s statement of imports at New York for the week also show a striking increase over last week of $2,883,551, while the exports from this port for this week feli off $2,454,394. This must modify the internal exchange situation to an appreciable extent. Os the increase in specie of $938,200, show’n by Saturday’s bank statement., there is included only $709,000 received from Europe. Friday’s receipts of $1,000,000 and Saturday’s of nearly $4,400,000 in gold by Incoming steamers are not included in the return. The return is a strong one without tiffs, the increase in surplus reserve being due largely to increase in cash and in less degree to decrease in deposits than has been the case of late. An actual increase in legal tenders is a surprise and is a measure of the large diminution in the demand for money from interior points. Banks of Western and Central cities have been bidding in the New York market for commercial paper and the decrease in loans of $2,614,100 may be accounted for in part by this fact. The week's declines have been heaviest in the specialties, Sugar and Tobacco leading with 6% and 5% per cent., respectively. Declines in the railroad list range from 1 to 3 per cent., the grangers, Southern and Southwestern roads leading. Chicago Gas sold as low as 87%, but recovered to 94. Railroad bonds were less active and weak in sympathy with stocks, but the declines were less important. Total sales were $lO.750,000. United States bonds have been strong and higher, the new fours coupon selling at 127%. anew high record. The following table, prepared by L. W. Louis, Room 11, Board of Trade, shows the range 4Df quotations: Open- High- Low- Closing. est, \ est. ing.

A week of genuine summer weather in October is not the thing desired to make trade good in the line of fall and winter articles and as a consequence dry goods merchants, boot and shoe men, milliners, confectioners and hat and cap dealers had an unexpectedly quiet week. Grocers, druggists, leather dealers, hardware and iron merchants say they had no cause for complaint. Provisions are duff, much of it being due to the light Southern trade. Prices on all descriptions of hog preduets are easy. Produce men are busy, poultry rules easy on large receipts, while eggs are very firm at quotations on light receipts. Butter continues in good request, 'trade with the seed merchants is rather quiet. Commission merchants had a fair week. Oranges are beginning to arrive, but sell at high prices. Some good celery is now offered, but the demand is light. Tiie local grain market was not as active in the week ending Oct. 16 as in the previous week, local inspections sassing considerably short. Receipts of wheat are still very light and of corn moderate. Oats are dull. The week closed with irack bids as reported by the secretary of the Board of Trade ruling as follows.

NO APPOINTMENTS YET. Mayor Taggart Han to Flee to Avoid the Pressure. Mayor Taggart still finds It nedessary to absent himself from his office at the Grand Hotel and the city hall, to avoid the pressure of would-be office holders. There is a growing impression among Democrats that there will be a good many changes in the minor places and the pressure of applicants grows stronger and more unappeasable. As yet the mayor has not made public his appointments. last night it was said that there was nothing definite he •ould say on this rather important ques-. tion. He remarked that while all officials tnd employes have tendered their resignations, they are still p .; : ming the duties of their offices and that iff ere is no reason for any haste.

OLD OFFICERS TO SERVE (Concluded from Sixth Page.) our keynote this evening that marvelous reply to Jesus of the crafty Pharisees: •Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and unto God the things that are God's. We note that in this immediate connection is the parable of the vineyard. Around this the Master had set a hedge, defining its boundaries, digged a wine press and built a tower, thus furnishing all the means for its successful culture, and let it out to husbandmen. Doubtless the women of that household oared well for the vines about their threshold, which gave them greatful shade and abundant fruit. It was not in their thought to look beyond their own dooryard. The hedge of the Mister's setting did not concern them, nor did Ilis claim upon the fruit. We follow on and read of the marriage feast to which certain honored guests were bidden, but unfortunately there were other and mere important matters demanding tb?ir thought and care. They excused themselves from the royal company to attend to their farms and merchandise, to buy and sell, to gather into families and stamp upon parents, children and the home the image and superscription of Caesar. This may be considered a surface brand, but it strikes through to the heart center. The value of the coin was fixed by the stamp upon it and because of the image and superscription, the Master said: 'lt is not mine, but Caesar’s; give it to him.’ Christ wants only His own. Whose Image and superscription do we bear? ‘To him that overcometh, I will write upon him the name of my God and mine own new name. And Isaw r an hundred and fortyfour thousand having the name of the Lamb and His Father written on their foreheads. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth. These were purchased from among men to be the first fruits unto God and unto the Lamb. And in their mouth is found no lie; they are without blemish.’ THE HOME FIRST. "If w T e can rightly determine how many seeming needs of the average Christian home bear Caesar’s mark. w r e can more justly estimate the apprehension which magnifies the possible neglect of the home because of other appealing claims which press for a share of the heart-life of Christian mothers. In the honorable estate in which God has placed woman, she is, and ever will be, the maker and keeper of the home, from which, according to her power or purpose, she radiates light in varying degrees, as from that of the taper with rays scarce strong enough to define her place in the home to the great revolving beacon light which floods her own hearthstone with brightness and joy and s. fines afar ‘to open the blind eyes and bring them that sit in darkness out of their prison house.’ That the truo interests of the home and its inmates should be the primary consideration of those who have it in charge is unquestionable. To wisely adjust its claims and judiciously discriminate as to the comparative importance of each, is often a perplexing question. But of even more importance is the question of faithful stewardship, both in and outside of the home. It should be a subject of prayerful study, that we may avoid the woe of the Master. ’These ye ought to have done and not left the others undone.’ "If anv of my sisters have ever had the privilege of sharing in building anew home, whether cottage or mansion, they doubtless recall with pleasure the glad experience, even though results were possibly not just as they desired. In the beginning how carefully the estimates were made to secure as much room and comfort, together with architectural beauty as possible, for the amount invested. Professional builders were consulted and plans carefully studied. The foundation to be laid deep and strong; the living rooms and domestic department to be first provided with necessary conveniences, then the adornment. With wliat eager interest the progress of the work was watched and how many happy hours were spent in prospective placing of the various articles of furniture, adjusting the dainty draperies and even adding the finishing touches. And when you allotted the rooms, do you remember the one that gave you the most pleasure of all, because you knew it was to be a heart's ease to so many tired ones? Whether you called it the ‘prophet’s lodge’ or the ‘chamber of peace,’ it was to be the cheeriest and most attractive retreat in the house, wfith the softest and whitest bed. easy chair find inviting couch; the bright open fire, with suppers and dressing robe at hand, a few choice books and ihe latest periodicals, literary, missionary and religious, together with writing conveniences on the ample table and the furnished sewing basket adding a cozy home touch to the whole. You had a royal reason for placing your choicest comforts here, for at any time the Master might say to you, ‘I will abide at your house today.’ ‘I w’as a stranger and ye took me in.’ It may be He came as a weary working girl or a toil-worn woman, or a young man bearing a heavy yoke in his youth, to whom your invitation for a few days of recreation came as a life-giving tonic. It may be as a discouraged mother with her fretting babe which had been cradled between gloomy city walls, to whom a week in such a haven of rest was an untold blessing. It may be a care-burdened missionary worker, or a tired preacher, with nerve force exhausted, or most honored of all, it may be one whose life has been given to service on the foreign field, with experience a concentration of the Christ love, good to assimilate, w’ho shared the rest and quiet of your God-given home. More times than you knew, perhaps, you have entertained an angel in the guise of a stranger—- “ ‘And tho’ their angel names you did not ken, Though in their faces human w’ant you read, They were God-given to this world of men. God sent to bless it, in its hours of need.’ “ ‘Thou shalt love the stranger as thyself, for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.’ You could not always arrange to have a spare room for the social visits of your friends, w’ho came from homes of leisure and plentv, and you rarely had time for entertaining fashionably, but you failed not to keep the Master’s guest chamber ready, let Him come in w’hat form, or at W’hat hour He might. HOME, BUT TEMPORARY. “We commend the provident care which makes the home conducive to the welfare and happiness of the family, and gives it the brightness and joy which should characterize a Christian home above all others, but in its secure retreat we are apt to forget that it is but a temporary shelter for the temple of the soul—a scaffolding, as it were, which gives us a foothold while w r e erect our spiritual and everlasting building. The Christian mother is the head workman, under the Master Builder, making all things subservient to the ultimate end. saving the souls of the household, and through them saving other souls—all giving the loving obedience of a ready and intelligent service, ‘rendering unto God the things that are God’s.’ “In the midst of absorbing domestic care it is not easy to always subordinate the less to the greater and to keep a quickened conscience in the lead. Let us look a moment at the daily life of an average Christian mother, or one w’ho takes her place in the home. Within twenty feet of my window as I write, I see and hear much of the labor, care and utter self-abnegation of a young mother, not unlike thousands of others, even in our own favored land—an intelligent woman of fair culture and education, a comfortable home and a kind husband who boards with her. I am charitable enough to bel : >’,ve that he would tarry with them occasionally, if there was a place or time in the home not wholly surrendered to the children except when they are asleep—a period with the little ones, hardly long enough to rest the exhausted mother, who with the first stirrings of wakefulness, responds with the patience known only to mother love, ‘Yes, darling, mamma’s coming.’ Oh! the compass of a mother’s love—a never-dying fire on God’s altar, fanned to a flame by the spirit of His power, consuming the dro. j s of selfishness and sin, and revealing a bit of heaven to encourage the stormtossed of the earth. It is stored, an unspent force in many a childless woman’s heart, and leaps forth to love the tiniest form that clothes a human soul, gathering strength that abates not with age, or ever grows cold, until God stills the heartbeat. With this young mother, each day duplicates the former days—nursing and coddling the babies, coaxing and waiting upon the older children, puffing, tucking, ruffling the garments, sweeping and dusting the house, and sometimes, by way of change, taking the cook's place. Husband’s clothes are carefully kept In order and placed in the top drawer, so that he will not have the exertion of stooping to open it. The children are made ready for the day and Sunday schools, and the tired mother sorm-times drags herself to church, if company is not expected for dinner and all things else seem to suit. The continued tension of such a life strains the powers of endurance of the strongest body, the sweetest disposition and the most elastic nerves. There is nothing upon the surface which would suggest self-indulgence, and certainly there is no such thought in the mind of the mother. She does not realize that the very excess of shielding and gratifying her children is doing them infinite harm, and that she is defrauding herself when she crushes out, as an unattainable thing, the the vague longing of her heart to be a

companion for her husband and a supply for the higher needs of her children. ONE TYPE OF HOME "Let us see another mother under similar conditions, no more an ideal picture than this one. In the first place, the home bears the impress of attractive comfort and usefulness, without superficial and flimsy ornamentation, costly to provide and more costly to take care of. Even missionary v omen sometimes have little shrines about which they hold cherished offerings. It may be delicate china, with gold or silver accessories, or costly filigree, elaborate embroideries or dainty draperies, which are the household altars of sacrifice, which not only consume the mortgaged hours, but the comfort and convenience of the entire family. The dresser was intended to hold necessary toilet articles, but if the gentleman of the house can find room for the comb and brush, and with the greatest dexterity and delicacy of touch, avoid the wholesale destruction of these httle gods that work the women and worry the men, he is fortunate. But the home of which we speak, instead of being a tyrannical taskmaster, is a servant made for the comfort of the inmates, the mistress prescribing its exactions and even necessary requirements. Nor does it lack grace and beauty in its adornments, especially in its tloral decorations, its few choice pictures and literary abundance for mind and heart. But all of these are made but gracious aids to the accomplishment of a purpose, the immediate fulfillment of which is to train the children of the family to be unselfish, useful and happy Christians. The wise mother knows this must begin with the babies, or rather with the self-control of the mother. It is not an easy matter, even when she knows the little darling is well and comfortable, to let it cry itself to sleep. Its lusty and indignant demand to be taken up amuses, but the pathetic little sob of loneliness or defeat goes to the heart, and it takes a strong mother to absolutely deny herself, and not compromise in this first lesson of surrender, nor, indeed, in all the after years, when the vital training of the child to be and to do is such a present cost to the mother. This trial will not have to be repeated often, and the luxury of overflowing the baby heart with tenderness and love will be the staple of its daily life, and. indeed, of the entire family, in which the truest expression of faithful affection is manifest in the ready obedience, tender respect and willing service of all the children, each taught from its earliest years that a useful life is a happy one, and that instead of adding weight to the home cares as they grow older they must lighten and relieve them. This mother leads her children and stands a peer of her gifted husband, they together, in mutual love and efficiency of mind and heart, as well as of hand, planning for the best interests of their household. She observes the law of spiritual proportion, ‘seeking first the kingdom,’ carefully guarding against the natural tendency to absorption involved in the routine of caring for the food, raiment and shelter of her family. These material necessities are not neglected, nor are they made the only duties of the home. The immortal spirit and eager, craving mind of the child is looking to the mother for daily supplies, and she conscientiously fits herself to meet them. Toys satisfy the little ones, but maturing powers demand jewels. She gives her children the best. She knows that the fire itself will prove her work of what sort it is, and that nothing will abide save spiritual character. The garments, costing much of either time or money, and fostering a spirit of pride in the childish heart, the elaborate adornments in the home, the excess of food upon the table and absorbing social claims —will they stand the trial of fire? She thinks not, hence she builds into the spiritual life of her children gold and silver, with earthly alloy, to be sure, but when the dross is consumed the work will abide. THE MATERIAL. MOTHER. “Now we have before us two types of mothers and homes, for as is the mother so is the home. First, we have the material mother, who surrenders herself wholly to the physical wants of her family. She, consciously or unconsciously, starves mind and spirit, until she has nothing to give her children except a manual service, much of which is positively hurtful, not alone In instilling selfishness and want of proper respect for the mother, but in hindering healthful bodily development in the child. She is, in a sad sense, a selfsacrificing mother, for her better self, which could be such a blessing to her family and to others, has not the moral stamina to divide the labors of the household and stand for the needful things only, but is being slowly, and under protest,, crushed out. The fate of such a mother mingles real heartache with our regret, for the martyrdom appeals to our compassion and sympathy. But there is another type of mother, calling herself Christian, which has no such claim upon our forbearance. It is the woman of ample means and fortunate environment who gives herself and her household primarily to the pleasures and frivolities of the world. She esteems it a safe and desirable thing to be a church member, and even on occasions to be publicly identified with some of its departments of service, but as for committing herself to be one of Us burden bearers, or a real coworker with the family of God, reliable, faithful and untiring, so big a thought has never taxed the dimensions of her dwarfed spirit. The honor of the church, the integrity of her own Christian character, or even the -welfare of the souls that are dearest to her, do not weigh in the balance. This poor, deluded mother, ensnared with the pleasures of the world and the deceitfulness of riches, is deceiving her heart with the thought that she is a Christian, and that the training of her children in the ways of the world will not unfit them for heaven. “It is with a heart of pain that we turn from these unsymmetrical types to be reassured in our faith by the spiritually molded mother, ‘attained unto a fullgrown woman, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ * * * dealing truly in love, growing up in all things unto Him who is head, even Christ.’ This all-around woman is none the less a true mother in her own home because she mothers the race, belonging, first of all, and including till, to the family of God, to whom the sinning and suffering appeal as to the members of our family. Like Paul, she is a debtor to every unsaved soul. She is quick to detect in herself, or those for whom she is immediately responsible, symptoms of spiritual disease. Auy command of God to which her will does not respond warns her of imperfect spiritual circulation, and the chilling heart and benumbed soul means paralysis, and must have the Great Physician’s care. It is not hers to delay or falter because of the magnitude of the work of soul saving, or the inadequacy of the means, or the imperfections of the plans, or even of her own personal limitations. The thing required of her is obedience. She is. however, content with her own responsibilities, and does not assume God’s, nor does she despise the day of small beginnings. The uneasy stirring's of an abused missionary conscience may prompt to very humble service, which counts for but little to the work, but is of untold value to the worker. The weakest sincere effort for the Master is a feeder for greater ones; so the woman of small gifts, by ‘fanning them into a flame,’ as Paul directs, will soon have given to her the ten talents of her unfaithful sister Tho best service of any one Individual seems of small avail, and especially do we often underestimate weak and inefficient first efforts. I have read that Cape Cod is anchored by myriad little cables, forming a network of invisible roots, our government. spending large sums in planting beach grass on the shifting sands to resist the encroachments of the Atlantic and the force of the whirling east winds—-may we not be at least, as one of thousands of rootlets, staying the wavering and unstable: forming a'bulwark against the hungry waves of defilement and sin? This beautiful illustration of the triumph of united effort by the cohesion of such small forces has a two-sided lesson—that we are to appreciate and utilize our smallest gifts* and humblest avenues of service, and that we are to be of one mind and one heart, united in the fellowship of coworkers with Christ and with one another, in the strength of concerted and systematic organization. RESULTS COMPARED. “It might be profitable to compare the results of the desultory and spasmodic efforts of good women, as philanthropic and Christian workers, before they unified their plans and co-ordinated their forces, with their work of to-day. Beside developing their own intellectual and spiritual powers, broadening their sympathies and enriching their characters, think of what the women of the missionary and temperance organizations have learned and given out, scattering broadcast over this and other lands helpful and instructive literature ‘like leaves for the healing of the nations.’ Think of the inspiration and encouragement, the counsels and prayers, by tongue and nen, in the home, the church, in the public gathering that have come from these women to comfort the sorrowing, stimulate the weak and enlighten the ignorant. The frivolities and vanities which hitherto consumed the golden hours have given place to tender ministrations to the sin-sick of the earth and the beckoning pleasures of the worid are behind them forever. Fictitious and false values are dwarfed before the tremendous issues which confront Christian women today, Issues which are clamoring for a-trear-ing, saying to each heart. Who knoweth whether thou art not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?’ From Adam to Christ how heavily thp curse of mental and

spiritual death rested upon women, but in Christ she was redeemed from its now? r and made alive—all. Her motherhood was made an honored factor in her salvation, but the edict of human rule over her was annulled when she was called into liberty. ‘Stand fast, therefore, in tne liberty wherewith Christ hath made you free —omy use not your liberty as an occasion to the flesh —but by love serve one another.’ It is not from the bondage of tyrannical and overbearing husbands and fathers that they are set free. Than in our own fair America, there is not a land under the blue sky where woman is so cordially and effectively helped by man to develop her best possibilities, and encouraged to share alike in the honors and rewards, as well as in the cares and sorrows of life. Marvelously patient and forbearing have been our brethren. through the transition period, from often self-imposed limitations to the wideopen doors of opportunity, unbarred by the gospel of Christ. The slavery which enthralls so many Christian women to-day is the reign of Caesar in their hearts and homes. Missionary obligation confronts tins power, requiring all things to be made subservient to the interests of the kingdom. Missionary women are the living witnesses of such a possibility, daily asking to give practical expression to their gratitude, that God has given them such a center of jiovver and influence as a Christian home, not as a restricted held of labor, but as a training scuool for laborers. To harmonize home duties and missionary obligation means: First, a strong conviction of personal responsibility. What I should do cannot be done by another. God neither excuses nor substitutes. it means simplicity, system and subordination, in the home, the father and mother, and each child, sharing proportionately in its labor and care. It means a just apportionment of time for necessary domestic: duties, for heart and mind culture, for wholesome recreation and for direct and unsellish daily service for the master. It means to many, especially in their first tri&l of this scriptural order, daily cross-bearing, for in this schedule there is absolutely no time left tor idle gossip, talking over current happenings, which are wholly unimportant and sometimes hurtful. Neither is there time for unnecessary delay in the marts ot trade or fashion, or overdue hours at the literary club or social gathering. It means, in short, that, literally, our time is not ours, but God’s, and we must ask for orders each day, as to how to use it. He has hired us as laborers in his vineyard. How often, unconsciously, do we make mental bargains with the Lord. How' much an hour. He pays according to the contract, but how much fuller and richer the pay. when we trust His justice and Liberality. W aten your motives, or you will make some very poor bargains with the Lora, which do not need to be formulated, so that even you can read them quite plainly. They may be obscurely written in your heart, but remember that, ‘All things are naked and open before the eyes of Him with whom we have to do. What constrains you in Christian service. Is It any form of self-aggrandizement? Is it unhallowed emulation? Is it the pressure of public sentiment? You will get the reward you bargain for, but do not reproach the Master that you have not the overflowing bounty of an eager and unselfish tree-wnll offering of love—- “ ‘lt is not ihe deed we do, Though the deed be never so fair; But the love that the dear Lord looketh for Hidden with lowly care In the heart of the deed so fair — The love is the priceless thing. The treasure our treasures must hold. Or ever the Lord will take the gift, Or till the worth of the gold By the love, which cannot be told. “The practical bearing of this subject, as generally understood, is, that busy mothers and housekeepers do not have time to give to organized missionary work, without neglecting the home. “It has been my purpose to show that n view of this unavoidable obligation imposed of God, Christian w'omen should simplify this style of living, have less elaborate and costly preparation for their tables, fewer and plainer garments, and, if need be, wholly eliminate the superfluities of their homes. They should systematize the labor and responsibilities of their household, giving to each his or her duty, thereby enabling the hitherto busy mother to have a share in the better part which cannot be taken away from her. There are doubtless hundreds of women in this house to-night who have proven this possibility; women who have learned the value of time and its just apportionment, who, with their broader outlook, more unselfish sympathies and truer conception of the world’s great need, and the stewardship intrusted to them to meet it, instead of rising above the duties of the hour, have lifted those duties to the exalted standard of the Master; instead of neglecting them have more intelligently and wisely performed them. The home is a part of their field of missionary labor, and as such has careful and conscientious attention. While the roots of their care and conscience may be planted In the home, the widespreadlng branches and abundant fruit gives shelter and food to tho starving without, whose piteous wail is a haunting echo in the heart. How many in tho luxury of their beautiful homes have closed their ears to the great famine cry which hath ‘entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.’ ‘ls not this the fast that I have chosen to deal thy bread to the hungry?—to let the oppressed go free, that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house, and when thou seest the naked to cover him and bestow on the hungry that which thy soul desireth?’ May God give us the wisdom and strength to reconstruct our homes and rededieate our lives that they ro longer bear the imago and superscription of Ceasar, but be consecrated forever to the Lord. ‘Render unto Ceasar the things that are Ceasar’s and unto God the things which are God’s.’ ” When Miss Sublette finished speaking Mrs. Burgees announced that the time had arrived for adjournment. “The work of the twenty-third annual convention.’ she said, “is now completed. I believe you are going home to do more work the ensuing year than ever before. You have received an inspiration here and it will aid you in cultivating the home field and bringing others into the work. We have had more attendance and more enthusiasm at this convention than at any previous one, and I know we shall continue to grow more and more.' I thank you all for the kindly support you have given me and I wish to add that there has not been a single failure on the programme. All have done their work well, from speakers and members of committees. down to the little pages. I thank you. every one.” One of the delegates then moved to adjourn “with thankful hearts for the success of the past and hope for the future.” Led by J* E. Hawes, of Ada, 0., the singing evangelist, the audience heartily joined in the hymn “God Be with You Till we Meet Again,” and Rev. H. R. Pritchard, the old est Christian minister in the church, said the benediction. TO-DAY'S PROGRAMME. Communion Service at Tomlinson Hnll—Assignments.

D Miller, Ohio, Two More Bodies to Meet, Tho Foreign Christian Missionary Society will hold its sessions on Monday and Tuesday in Tomlinson Hall; and the American Christian Missionary Society on Wednesday and Thursday at the same place. Tha boards of these two societies held meetings yesterday and considered the reports they will make to their conventions. TTis hall has been handsomely decorated for tho holding of these conventions and a chorus of 300 voices has been well trained to furnish the music in the evenings. On Monday evening the chorus will render “Halleiujalx to the King,” by Herbert: the quartet of the Central Church will sing a selected number, and Mrs. Carolyn W’inter Goets will give the solo ‘“The I.oly City.”. On Tuesday evening Mrs. Frank Morgan and Mr. Frank Elston will sing solos and the chorus will render Gounod’s “Send Out the Light.” B. F. Miller will give a tenor solo on Wednesday, Mr. Miller was formerlv of Rushvllle and has traveled with Walter Pamrosch. He was chosen tenor for one of the Brooklyn churches out of a class of sixty-eight applicants. The executive committee of C. W. B. M.., which consists of the national officers, five local resident members and the presidents and secretaries of the various States, will meet at the Central Church on Monday morning. One of the Missionaries Dead. A note of sadness was engendered in tha convention yesterday by the receipt of news that Miss Hattie L. Judson, one of the Foreign Missionary Society’s missionaries at Hurda, India, had died. This news assisted materially in increasing the offering mada for medical relief in the stations in India. COLLEGIATE ALUMNAE. Officers Elected and Various Matter* Discussed, The annual meeting of the Indiana branch of the Association of Collegiate Alumna* at Mrs. May Wright Bewail’s residence yesterday was attended by representatives of Bryn Mawr, Vassar, Smith and Oberlln colleges, and of Northwestern, Kansas. Michigan, Cornell and Wesleyan universities. The committee on membership reported sixty-three women in Indiana who are graduates of fifteen colleges eliglbta to membership, and a number more who ai’s not yet definitely located. The legislative commLttee reported that in response to a call from the local council it had sent to that body a request that the Legislature' be petitioned to raise tha standard of entrance requirements at Indiana University; also a petition that diplomas from the colleges admitted to tha Association of Collegiate Alumnae be accepted in lieu of county examinations for teachers’ licenses The local council comrmittee sent these petitions to the educational committee of the General Assembly, but In view of the many puzzling questions that came before that committee it waa thought best to defer this action and concentrate energies upon tho bill for compulsory education. This bill as presented and passed was practically the bill drawn up by Judge Black, as attorney for the local council, and presented by that body to the educational committee of the General Assembly. The association decided to confer with the Women’s University Club and by their combined efforts try to remove soma of tho limitations that now hamper tho State Board of Education and make it possible for all educational institutions to coma before it on an equal footing. The committee on plans of work for tha year proposed that the association hold a series of meetings to post Itself upon the modern educational ideas and movement* in this country and abroad. It is proposed to have at each meeting a talk by some ona actively engaged in directing some department of educational work, beginning with! the kindergarten and working up through* the primary schools, Industrial training and schools for preparing for college. Tha committee was directed to arrange for tha execution of its plans. For the benefit ot new members, Mrs, Sweall gave a brief history of university extension in Indianapolis, as started by this association and afterward given into the hands of an enlarged center. At tho close of Mrs. Sewall’s remarks the association voted SIOO from ita treasury to the university extension work. The officers elected are: President, Misa Harriet Noble, of Vassar College; secretary, Miss Amelia Waring Platter, of Wesleyan University; treasurer, Mrs. Ida Blood Hasselman, of Kan sets University; commute on printing, Mrs. May Wright Bewail off Northwestern University; committee on membership, Miss Janet P, Shaw of Oberlin College, Miss Florence Day of Smith College and Miss Amelia Waring Platter ot Wesleyan University; committee on plana of work. Miss Martha Doan of Cornell, Mlsa Julia Harrison Moore of Smith College and Miss Julia E. Landers of Bryn Mawr. Miss Flora Bridges, of Oberlin College, read an able paper on a continued Interpretation of an old allegory. In which she showed that woman in her enlarged work of to-day is continuing what has been going on through all ages. She Is the first to feel a need and then tho one to inspire ian to action and often lead in that action.
