him into the mission house till it is completely packed. We hear also
that some hearts seem to have been touched; and that the hope is
cherished that some who were far off have been brought nigh. Space
fails me to go into details; but I bespeak the earnest prayers of all
who love this cause and love our Lord, that this evangelistic work
may yield us the glad harvests for which we have been wrestling with
God.

BUREAU OF WOMAN'S WORK.

MISS D. E. EMERSON, SECRETARY.

We are glad to notice that the ladies of Connecticut have recently
organized a State Missionary Society to co-operate with the leading
benevolent societies for work in our own country. Nothing in these
days can be accomplished without organization. What is everybody's
business is nobody's business, and causes whose support is left to
those who merely happen to have an interest in them are very likely
to be neglected. We wish that in every State of the Union, ladies'
domestic missionary societies might be organized. The great work
which our Association is called upon to perform among women needs to
be specially brought to the attention of the Christian ladies in our
churches. This information can only be effectually disseminated
through organized and systematic effort. We are prepared to furnish
interesting missionary material to all who will ask for it. We invite
correspondence with missionary societies, promising to give careful
attention to any inquiries they may make. With gratitude do we record
the fact that the interest in the woman's department of the American
Missionary Association's work is steadily enlarging.

DEAR FRIENDS: As I take my pen to write my mind goes back to the
general letter that I wrote. Can I tell you of any improvement among
those with whom we have to do, since that time? Watching the progress
of our school from day to day the upward tendency seems slow, but
looking back a year a marked improvement can be seen. While they
learn readily they remember well, and the homes of those who come in
contact with our church and school are different. Last Saturday was
the coldest day of the winter, but Miss Robertson and I, according to
a previous appointment went to the Dunwoody settlement to hold a
woman's meeting. I think
