BIGHT NOT MIGHT SHAM. WIN ALLIANCE HERAM), THt'RHDAY, IFX 30, 1017. Weokly Short IMM Text: 2 Cor. S:14. For the love of Christ ronntralnoth up. Devotion. Sympathy and love are the common characteristic of wom en. It was Mary who annointed the ft of .leans and wiped them with the hairs of her head. It was Mury Ifagdelene nnd 'other women who came to the tomh to anoint the frody yt Jesus. It was her sympathy lor the poor which made Dorcas so Wll known among all Christalni. A goodly mother and grandmother Bade Timothy the consecrated evan gelist that he was. Woman has been a very important factor In Christian Tanpellpm and Christian service. The Apostle Paul, whose attitude to ward women In the Church has been atlsconstni'd becatUM he warned them of the improprieties of feminine leadership in Corinth and Epheses, la the last Chapter of Romans, corn Bends at least, ten Christian women for their work. Where would the church of today be if it were not for consecrated wo men? The comlexion of the church Bust ever be masculine, but there will always be the need of the Marys, the Dorcases, the Loisea and the Phoebea. On April 4, 1874, after her morn ing devotions, Mrs. Catherine N. Pearre of Iowa City, Iowa, an ounced a plan for the organization Of the women into a missionary so ciety. The plan called for definite study and systematic giving for world-wide evangelism. The Chris tian Woman's Board of Missions was organized at Cincinnati, Ohio, on October 22, 1874. In the midst of much opposition from men, who counted a woman's organization un acrlptural and impractical, seventy five women banded themselves to gether for missionary work. Their first missionary work was to send to Jamaica and to support Mr. and Mrs. Williams. This 'organization has grown un til now it has a membership of over 100,000. Its work is world-wide. It pnows no geography, for the field is the world. Its foreign work is evan gelistic, educational, medical, bene volent and colportage. In the United States it supports evangelism la thirty states, four Bible chairs in atate universities, six negro schools, four mountain Bchools, six cltylmls alons among foreign people and the College of Missions at Indianapolis, Ind. The C. W. B. M. has missions la the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Mexico, Jamaica, Porto Rico, Argentina, Africa, India and China. It is supporting or helping to sustain 522 workers and sixty Bine schools. The funds for the work 'come from monthly dues, of ferings and special gifts. These amount to nearly $4 50,000 annually. This Is the most systematic organ ization and us. s the most sensible plan of any missionary organization that comes under our 'knowledge. Systemntlc study and systematic giv ing for the world field Is worthy of our considerat ion and imitation. The motto of the C. W. B. M. is "For the love of Christ conBtralneth us. Aside from the Information re ceived, and the missionary habits formed there is the devotional spirit Which is alive in every meeting. The apirnu.il benefits from the Auxiliary meetings are an asset to the church and community. The love of Christ 10 the constraining power that Im pels devotion to Him, sympathy for those who know Him not, and love for all mankind. When the Book of Life is opened, many names will be found written there of souls who have been brought to Christ through the con aecratlon of Christian women. STEPHEN J. EPLER.

New Publication Shows Aims of er- (etting Heady for Spring Now that the frost has killed all of the late vegetables and there is a little leisure time, preparations may well be begun in making ready for the spring garden, according to the department of horticulture of the College of Agriculture. All of the old vines and plants should be pulled up and burned so as not to spread diseases in the spring. Some well rotted manure should be snrinkled , on the garden and the whole plowed under. This will give plants a quick start in the spring since the organic matter will have become well mixed with the soil during the winter.
