■jMMHury HenlMk TbefoUowtnf l«per was read before the Loaal Mlwtnneiy Union February fotfc, by Mrs. J. W. Elder:

• Prominent among the books In my fist line's library In my childhood days was one resplendent in cloth of blue, with gilded inscription and golden edges. To my childish fancy It was a most elegant book; and seeing how •■arefully my mother handled it ami the many tears she shed over Jit, I came to regard it with feeling of reverence akin to the Bible itself. There comes to my memory yet the picture of a frolicsome, gleetul child, who had been particularly trying on one occasion, until the gentle mother was obliged at last to force her into temporary quiet by seating bar ir;#er chair for a “whole ball hour!” And thin taking pity on the woe-begone little lhee,(aa mothers do she beguiled the time away by reading ^ketches from that wonderful booki “The Lives of the Three Mis. Judson’s,” now so thrilling, now so pathetic, always Interesting, until the half-hoar of puhjshmeet lengthened into boars ot pare delight. The naughty, rebellious heart was subdqed by the levely tale. and. 1° knojr not, but It may have been that then and there "was born-my love for missions. And when, sometimes. I had been considered especially good, as did occasionally happen or, as I grew older If not better, and more liberty with precious books was given me. It was one of-my delights to steal upstairs to the library, and lying prone upon the door, a position most conducive to a child's cons fort if not Its health' I forgot myself, my surroundings and all the world betides, in following the lives of those devoted women, more fascinating to me than any romance of modem times. Though they were all great and grand women. I confess my favorite was the first lady who bore this honored name and to her my sympathies were mainly given.. How charming she was in personal appearance. Look at that dimpling, oval face crowned with waves of sunny hair, rippling back from the anowy parting. There is a softly-moulded, rounded, chin, bat giving nevertheless a strong hint of the firm resolution that characterized her { ysbole life. Eyes, large and limpid, with j slightly arching brows and sweeping lashes.. Lips, tender and sweet as an artist's dream, and yet to that Cupid's bow you recognised!I corves that bespoke a wilt which might j bend but never break. Physiognomists tell us that in one's nose you may read his high birth and fine breeding. And the nose of Ann j Haseltine Jadson, exquisite in Its patrician ! lines, tells of generations of refinersent and { culture. Above ail gleams like a benediction the brow, so broad sod white. Many a tear blistered the page as I read of the bitter trials this lovely lady underwent, that she might give Burrnab a heavenly life. And yet “the Servant is not above bis Lord." No* only did she toil and strive incessantly In leading souls to Christ, but we see her Christian faith, patience and fortitude exemplified, when this delicately reared .woman walked day after day beneath the burning sun of India, her lltiie Marta in her arms, that she might carry aid and comfort to her husband la that horrible Burmese prison. And when at last his craeljallers forbade her this small comfort, still we see her dragging her feeble strength along to that miserable pen that she might peer through the stockade at her loved ope, thus by her mere presence cheering and en-» couraging him as be sat chained and man- ! acted on the earthen floor. How brave she | was. bow strong her faith, as she endured poverty and pain. While she feared not to go before the Berman authorities and plead I lor his release though it might mean instant | Imprisonment or death to her. Her eloi quence did procure some mitigating conditions to bis sufferings, until he was finally released. AU this she bore “in His name.” But her trials sapped the life from .her delicate body and in India she found a restful grave. It seems especially sad that she who had i been so devoted in her aftection, should die alone iar from homeland kindred with none i but her ftithfnl ntmve servants about her, | Dr. J udson being away ou one of his missions at the time and when he returned there was naught of his own to receive him but her ’ I lonely grave and the little wailing Baby Ma1 ria, who soon followed her sainted mother

Iaj a ururi muu. Time forbids os an extended notice of the life of Mr*. Sarah Board man Judsott, who was a most accomplished lady and efficient missionary. It is interesting to note, however. that it was by a poem from her gifted pen, Dr. Board man first became interested in missions. and meeting the author, then Miss Hall, a mutual affection sprang up, and on their marriage they sailed for India, each giving life itself to the cause. After Dr. Board man's death she toiled on alone with her children also to support and care for until . she became the second wife of Dr. J udson; i when she ceased not her labor until death released her. It would be interesting to give the trlumphs of Mrs. Emily J udson on this same field. She promised a brill font career to the ’ world under the non de plume of-Fanny Forreater. but God turned her tjronderfui gifts into His own set vice, and a true yoke- ■ fellow she became. That old blue-bouod ; book of the lives of these three women has ! lost much of its beauty through much handling but the inspiration of lu pages has thrilled my heart for a life-dime. When I first read how the lovely Harriet Newel so young and fascinating, a loved and loving bride, poured out her sweet young life on India's soil. I wondered why God permitted 1 It to be so. She left her loved ones and her I native land only to find a grave in a far-away heathen clime for seateely one day of service 4 d she live to give her master there. It was | the old query of the unbelieving di-eipies: I “To what purpose ia this waste?” And Christ answered even as He did those faithless ones: “Let her alone; against the day not of my

burial,—but of my final triumph has she done this!** Ah, yea. The alabaster oox of a beautiful lift was broken and! the sweet perfume of a consecrated spirit was poured oat fitting not only India with itsrtehneea, bat all the world besides. Toor life and mine has been made sweeter and richer, because of Harriet Newel's sacrifice, and many % one has been inspired to a consecrated life to the Master tUT her heroic life and death. It may be more interesting and helpful as well as to study these noble lives according to their ly tell you that oar Baptist sisters are justly proud of the Mrs. Jndaon; though with all other devoted missionaries the whole world rejoices over them. Mrs. Newel was, I believe, a Congregationalist, so was Mrs. Sturgis, who labored faithfully and endured much of toil, privation and suffering for twenty years in the islands of the Pacific, building up the Master’s kingdom among savages and even cannibals. In tbe Presbyterian church there is a noble army of toilers, some of whom were even martyrs to tbe cause. I believe Mrs. Lavin, a warm friend of Mrs. Martin, our Miss Lida’s mother was one of the first lady missionaries of this church, her work being in India. Mrs, Rhea, dear to all missionary workers, was tor many years a faithful laborer In Persia, teaching, and helping to bnild up the seminary at Oroomiah. She tells us most touching of her Ubora.then after she was berett of her companion.;!.With her little ones to support and educated she still gave the Master her faithful service and her labors even abundantly | blest. She Is especially, dear to tbe women of my own church as site and Mrs. Sturgis were present at the organisation of our Woman’s Board in 18ft) encouraging and assisting us by their word of cheer and counsel. Among the honored heroines of this denomination, perhaps the name of Miss Fidelia FUke suob'.d head the list, she was a graduate of Mt. Holyoke seminary, that institute which has sent out so many grand, noble, Christian women. She went to Persia in 1813. and for fifteen years toiled unceasingly among the Nestorians and great was her reward tn a rich harvest of souls, and the reed she scattered still Is bearing fruit. had been preceded in her work by Mrs. Perkins and Mrs. Grant. £To be continued.!
