if ye faint not.” “ Ilo thou faithful unto death, and
1 will give thee a crown of life.” The not fainting
and tho faithfulness to the end are the oondition of the
final reward. We cannot, then, afford to be weary,
because we cannot afford to loee all tho labor, and self-
dcnyiijg, and cross-bearing ot the past years. Con¬
sidering tho example of Him who endured the cross
and despised the shame, and is now reaping tho Joy
that was set before Him, let ue, too, run with patience
the raoe set before us. If only Wo continue in well¬
doing, our life will all come haok to us, and we will,
aftor a while, find that what we have been doing for
others, by the grace of God, has been accumulating as
a treasuro for ourselves in heaven.

THE LADIES OF GEORGIA AT WORK.
The ladies of Georgia and Virginia propose to build
a house for the Misses Moon in Tung Chow, China,
and we have no other thought but that they will ac¬
complish their purpose. The pla^ is for the ladies of
eccb State to raise $1,500'. This part of the plan, too,
will be carried out to the letter, now ploasant is the
thought that these two devoted sistcrecan have a house
In which they may feel at home. What an air of per-
manenco it will give to their worKnnd our work.

7h4r*Corregpond(hg Secretary ofMhe Woman’s
slonory Society of Atlanta, Georgia, writing Septem¬
ber 20th, says: “I have received to date, in
г
to our appeal, about forty dollars, whioh, with
sent by the societies at Savannah add Macon, make a
little
того
than Georgia’s first hundred. Now, if wo
can only repeat this twelve or fifteen times.” Why
notf Is It expecting too much of the Baptist women
of Georgia — they arc many thousands — to givo one
hundred or two hundred dollars a month until the fif¬
teen hundred arc in hand f Tea cenle each from only
two thousand of these sisters In Georgia wonld make
the two hundred dollars a month. We werp about to
proposo that two thousand should send on their dime
every montli ; hut there ate two objections to that
plan. In tho first placo, it is too expensive. It would
cost at least four ccnte to get the ten cents to tho treas¬
ury of tho Woman’s Missionary Society in Atlanta;
and second, somo of the two thousand would almost
certainly forget to send the money. Two other plane
occur to us. The first is, that evory Georgia woman
who reads this at tide shall send at least one dollar to
Miss J. II. Clayton, Atlanta, Georgia, for tho Mieses
Moon’s house. If any can send two dollars, that is
hotter ; and if any can send fivc'dollars that is better
still. Five dollars sounds comfortable— it is con¬
venient chango— and it looks very handsome in a let¬
ter. We would say, if it is nt all convenient, by nil
means send five dollars. But if you cannot send five,
don’t neglect to send one. .
Tho other plan wo thought of is for edme good sis¬
ter in each churoh to get other slsteis' interested, and
all clubbing together send their contributions, whether
laiceor smalt, to Miss Joqnie

A PLEASANT RIVALRY.

thousand dollars. Mrs. Dr. Jeter thus etates i
eion of their need :
“ In order to the greater efficiency and more suc¬
cessful prosecution of their mission, it is necessary
that they should have a house, to answer the double
ригрове
of a home and for school rooms. Brother
and sister Crawford, who have great experience in
missionary work, and on whose judgment we confi¬
dently rely, deem the building indispensable to the
comfoit and usefulness of our young sisters. The
sum of three thousand dollars will be needed to erect
a suitable edifice for their
ригроье.
-To obtain, this
sum they ore dependent on Christian friends in this
country.
It has been proposed that the Baptist ladies of
Georgia and Virginia ehall contribute Jtho needed
amount',. The Georgia ladles havo generously under¬
taken to raise half theEuin ($1,500), and have already,
with great promptness and energy, begun their work.
I doubt not they will nobly finish it. I feclnssmed
thntvbur Virginia e'-stcis will gladly share in this
work, and will contribute an equal amount for the
proposed

The ladies of Georgia and Virginia ore fairly in the
field together.' It is a lawful thing for them thus to
“prevoke one another to love and good worky.” _ Wb'^j

Assam are supported by tho Woman’s Baptist Mission¬

by tho Woman’s Missionary Society of tho East. In
addition to the above, the following will return to their

Swntow, to China ; and Rev. J. F. Norris and Mrs. C.

of taking a backward step in their missionary work.
We can report no enlargement in our own work except
in tho African Mission ; but wo bopo Boon to have the
