ore consecrated women in our
churches, women that have more love for their Master and for his
cause, women that do not do this work from a sense of duty, but
because they love their Lord and Saviour. It seems to me we ought to
put love in the same place where Christ put it, on the same pinnacle
where Paul put it: "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of
angels and have not love, it profiteth me nothing; though I understand
all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith so that I
could remove mountains, and have not love, it profiteth me nothing;
and though I give my body to be burned, and though I bestow all my
goods to feed the poor, and have not love, it profiteth me nothing."

My dear friends, if we only had this love, this consecration, we would
be interested in everything that interests our Master. And hearing of
our sister in the mountains who knows nothing of him, we would hasten
to go ourselves or make it easy for others to go and tell her of His
love. And thinking of our colored sister in the South who is oppressed
and down-trodden, if we loved Him we would hasten to go with joy and
tell her of the yoke that is easy and the burden that is light. And
remembering our Indian sister who is so in the dark and is so
destitute of knowledge we would find a way to tell her of Him who is
the light of the world. And knowing of our Chinese sister here on our
shores, who looks forward to a heavenly home for her husband, though
she has no such hope for herself, we would go and tell her--or see
that some one else told her--of Him who said: "Whosoever cometh unto
me shall have eternal life." Our work then would not be done from a
sense of duty but as the expression of our love and joy, and all we
would ask in return would be the words: "Inasmuch as ye have done it
unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto me."

ADDRESS BY MISS ANNETTE P. BRICKETT.

In the few minutes which are assigned me in which to bring before you
the work of our Indian mission and boarding school at Fort Berthold,
among the Rees, Mandans and Gros Ventres, there is no time for me to
discuss the "Indian Problem," about which I am not at all wise, nor to
talk of the Indian character, nor to defend it against the numberless
unjust opinions and popular newspaper and magazine prejudice with
which you are all so familiar.

I think you want to know all that I shall have time to tell you
