Heaven is above all yet; there sits a Judge That no king can corrupt. M onday. Ignorance is the curse of God, Knowledge the wing wherewith we fly to heaven. Tuesday. How would you be If He which is the top of judgment should But judge you as you are ? O think on that; And mercy then will breathe within your lips Like man new made. W ednesday. A wretched soul, bruised with adversity, We bid be quiet when we hear it cry; But were we burdened with like weight of pain As much or more we should ourselves complain. Thursday. Forbear to judge, for we are sinners all. F rid a y . The patient dies while the physician sleeps; The orphan pines while the oppressor feeds; Justice is feasting while the widow weeps; Advice is sporting while infection breeds. Sa tu rd a y. He that will have a cake out of the wheat must needs tarry the grinding. Sun day. Heaven still guards the right. 326 THE MISSIONARY HELPER. NEW MISSION WORKERS. S it is the duty as well as privilege of Free Baptist' women A to understand the general work of the denomination we call attention to recent action of importance. For some years the matter of cooperating with Free Baptists in mission work has been under consideration by the Church of God. Rev. T. H. Stacy, secretary of the F. B. F. M. Board, attended the meeting of the General Eldership of this church in June, and presented plans for working together. He was most cordially received, and the result of the Conference was the passage of resolutions committing the Eldership to enter at once on foreign mission work and to appoint two persons to represent them on the F. B. F. M. Board. We understand that one of these is to be a woman. Our readers will be interested in the following quotations from the Church Advocate, the organ of the Church of God, as they show the feeling in regard to woman’s work : “ The General Eldership of the Church is to begin foreign mission work in India shortly, and the work has been com mitted to the Woman’s General Missionary Society. There will be two representatives of the Church on the Free Baptist Board of Foreign Missions, who will thus have a voice in con trolling matters in the field, while the Woman’s Society will have the work at home in hand, the raising of funds, the selec tion of missionaries, etc. It is a work of considerable magni tude, and general cooperation will be needed. “ One of the principal reasons for giving the work into the hands of the Woman’s General Missionary Society was that it gives them a separate and distinct field of operation. The local societies can either work along the two lines of Home and Foreign Missions, or separate woman’s societies can be organ ized to look after the foreign interests.” “ The sisters in various Elderships are awake and are organ izing missionary societies, and are laboring to secure larger and more regular and more frequent contributions to the mission THE MISSIONARY HELPER.
