ADDRESS OF WELCOME To the Delegates of the: Osage Mis- sionary Society, of the Presby- terian Church By Miss Annie M. Wyatt, of Butler. Ladies, we welcome you. hail your comings, with greetings on | our lips and in our hearts. Yours is | a mission of kindness and_benifi- | cence. You are coming to a feast! but the food is prepared by you, not! We, | j by us. ’Tis the guests who bring | and spread the feast, we, the | We host, greedily help consume. have looked forward to this regale , with pleasant anticipation of satisfy_| ing our hunger of being strengthen_ ed into new hfe, new energy and new zeal. : | Weare a company of ladies meet- | ing together to discuss the ways and | means of a grand and noble work— | christianization of the world. This | where | is where we learn new ideas, we are wise by seeing the results of other works as well as our own, We note the result of past labors, see what experiments are worthy of repetition, and deyelove new schemes to suit the age and progress | of the work. These meetings are land marks we encourage in tne way. They serve as mile-posts to mark our progress They make us sociable, moreover they unite us in purpose and action. They are a re- minder that others are laboring with us with the same result in view— Christ for the whole world, the | whole world for Christ. This ought | to be a happy conference, ‘for cir- cumstances are well favored for ma- king it so. We can, I thigk, all pre- | sent a favorable record of the past, and there is no reason why our fu- ture shall not be brighter. It 1s true our members are small, but among other wise” things, Samuel Johnson has said, ‘Great works are perform- ed by perseverence, not by strength.’’ This is a year of plenty, business is brightening, letters bearing news of fruittul works come from all over the field, home and foreign. Our government has passed a bill open- ing a more direct avenue into Per- sia’s heartand mind. Japan is an- other subject tor thanksgiving, and great satisfaction is felt among. the missionaries at the Corea treaty and | the epening of another field with its ten millions of people. The present trouble with Egypt is one that con- cerns us as its termination will ser- iously affect the tuture work in that | country. At présent all missionary teaching 1s necessarily suspended, and many are the speculations as to when and how it will be resumed. It is natural for us to select the opin- ions most favorable to our hopes; that the mission stations in that coun- try are not lost, but that the cause which sacrifices them now ‘will in} the end be the means of therr spring- | ing up and bearing much more | abundant fruit. Good news come trom every field, | letters tell us of the pupils interest in christianity and their eagerness to learn. The gospel is gladiy receiv- ed in every Jand. We have plenuful evidence that the ladies past werk has been abun- | dantly blessed and many souls been | sayed. ‘The good they have cone is getting to be an acknowledged fact and all the time more and more in sympatay with i =. are still a few policy comfor the organiz far whit ting powerle us of a story our tells in his aut and a warm frien to heer the celeb field pieach, the course was to arouse the rte tiea only give to a benevolent i: on which he was building up.

Prayer is good, but it connot, must not take the place of work. Never has the progress of that kingdom, which is not of this world, been more strikingly set forth than in that short parable of the leaven, which a woman took and hid m the measures of meal, until the whole was leavened. Remember it was a woman’s hand which hid the leaven. May we not regard this as a prophe- cy oteleyated and efficient woman- hood? Yes! Sisters, God has marvelous- ly honored women, in the work for heathen women, and our experience convinces us that these great privi- leges and opportunities have hum- bled women, as true work for Christ always does. More than ever we feel tke unspeakable value of christianity to our sex, and as our intelligence shall increase, we will press nearer the cross, andlie more ‘lovely at the feet of Jesus,’’ exclaiming, ‘*He that is mghty, hath done unto me great things, and holy is his name.”’ But to each one of us, He has com- mitted some trust, some service, and if we are always on the alert He will show us many ways by which we may honor him. To our weak, but faithful hands, it may be given to bring a blessing in God’s own time, to every nation plans for future work. Surely this is a fit trme for thought and retrospect,-for reflection and re- solve, 2s -we taik of the past vears work, and turn back to give one more glimpse of the regorts before they are recorded in that great vol- ume, and closed forever. Well for us, if our work has been well done, well for us, if the dear words “She hath done what she could,’’ may follow us through the golden portals of the beautiful here- atter. Many such bands ot christian workers are meeting from time to seeking motives for greater diligence, as they take up the work of the next.
