»» the anniversary of the declaration or
our National Independence a Committee
designated by the Republican National
Convention, held in Chicago, camo to my
tome in Indianapolis to aotify mo of ray
nomination for the Presidency, my sense
*f gratitude, great as it -was, was force.l
Into background by an overwhelming sense
•f the responsibility of leadership in a civil
•ontest that involved so much »o my coun-.
try and to my fellow citiwns. I oould not
hope that much would he fonnd, when the
record of a quiet life had been brought un
«er the strong light of public criticism, to
enthuse my party followers or upon which
«a aisuranca of adequacy Jfor tbe highest
•irll affairs might be rested. No one so;
much as I realized that the strength of tho
campaign must be found in Republican
principles; and BUT hope was that nothing j
4m my life or word of mine might weaken
the appeal of our American politics to the
Amencan heart. That appeal did not fail.
A Republican President and Vice Presi
dent and a Repmblican Congress were chos
en. The record has been made and we are
now to submit it the judgment of a patri
otic people. Of my on relation to tbe
great transactions in legislation .and ad
ministration, which nraat be the basis of
ihis judgment, it does not become me to
«peak.
I gratefnlly accent sir, the assurance
(riven by the Republican State convention,
and by tho National covention througn
you, that no charge or inadequacy or de
linquency to principle has been lodged
•gainst the administration. [.Loud ap
plause.] The faitbfhl and highly suc
cessful work done by the able heads of the
executive departments and by our repre
sentatives abroad. I desire most cordially
to acknowledge and cemmend. The work
of the Fifty-first Congross, in which yon,
air, bore so conspicuous and so useful a
part, lrill strongly ond most beneficially
influence the national prosperity for gener
tions to com*. [Loud applause]. ,
After referring to the good effects of the
McKinley bill, Jhe closod by
Sotuuii would before leng write a formal
letter declaring bis reasons for adhering to
the platform adopted by the convention.
A general hand-shaking and lunoheon
followed. The committee visited Mr. Reid
at Opbir farm, near Mew York, nest day,
end notified him of hia nomination forVioe

PRESBYTERIAL SOCIETY.
Proceedings of the i6th Annual Meeting
of the Prmbyterikl Society at Butler,
Jane 14 and 15, 1892.
The sixteenth annual meeting of the
Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary
Societies of the Bnt ler Presbytery was
h. ld in the Presbyterian Church on Tues
day and Wednesday, the 14th and 15th,
and was extremely interesting and pro
ductive of great good in arousing new
ideas and promoting stronger resolves
among the grand women who compose
these societies.
The Auxiliary Sociefr' were well repre
sented by able delegates and it was an in
spiring sight—this handsome church with
its fine floral decorations, and its dozens of
the leading ladies of this and other coun
ties. The weather was perfect, though
warm, tho speakers at their best, and all
united in pronouncing it the most success
ful meeting ever held by the Societies.
The delegates arrived on Tuesday morn
ing and were tendered a reception at
the Presbyterian Church at which
was followed by a sumptuous dinner
served in the Lecture Room by the "Pansy"
and "Willing Workers" Bands, which are
composed of young ladies of Butler.
An hour followed which was given up to
having a social time, and was well spent
by the delegates in becoming acquainted.
The regular program was taken up at 130
p. M. After devotional exercises, Mrs.
Rev. McConkey. of Grove City, the Presi
dent. addressed the delegates in an im
pressive manner. From her address we
take the following:
/*vrr Sister* of Butler Presbytery
Another year of progress; another year or
praise; another year of proving Hi* pres
ence all the .lay; anotbtr year of service
of witness for His love; another year of
training for holier work above.
This is undoubtedly the grateful song
of every Christian womans' heart this after
noon, and as we stand at the close ot
another year, it is fitting that we P» us ®'
not only for a brief review of some of the
events of the year, but that we may also
devoutly acknowledge the divine act ot
nim whoße hand has led us onward, y e
by year, and whose name we have sought
to Klorifv in our efforts to maintain and
extend the work committed to our. care.
A glance backward over the twelve months
reveals many causes for thanksgiving and
yet there are dark sombre shadows cast
here and there across the path. Faithful
members of our auxiliary having heard the
summons to come up higher have gone to
a holier service, and faithful unto death
have received the crown of life that awaited
them. But being dead they yet speak to
as and 0, may their memory ever be an in
spiration to us whose influences si l all ex
tend as the pebble cast into the water
making a circle whose ever widening arms
touch at last heaven's own shores. But
while some have fallen from the rank* ot
our army, we praise God to-day that our
Pre*. Soc. is still complete, its circle still
unbroken, and yet we are not unmindful
of the sad, sad fact that the stern messen
ger of death has entered the happy homes
of two of our dear aster officials and taken
from them their very life and light. The
shadow has indeed fallen darkly upon the
hearts of dear Mrs. Wright and Mrs
Miiilin and together we would commend
them to the loving care of Him who
makes no mistakes and who has said that
all things work together for good to those
who low him. But 0, there is a vacant
place not only around the uear fireside
and festal board but in our own Pres. Soc
we feel a personal loss. No truer, stauncher
friends had our society than the two who
have departed. What mission God may
have for them above we may not know,
bnt of this we are assured their keen brain
and their loving hearts are active some
where. In heaven as on earth they are
about their Father's business, doing His
will tree from the limitations of the flesh,
from care and sorrow and weariness. It is
also my sad dnty to record the death of
Mrs Rev. Decker, who was for many years
a faithful officer in this society, but for
some time past has been living in another
state. To us who loved her so, her drath
seems untimely, but in God's eye her
earthly life stands rounded out complete
or it would not have been terminated. A
letter from her devoted husband says, "O,
my hrart *«- <•« my 110 111 L' i© SO
dark;" and 0. dear sisters, this is true, lor
death does make a change as many ot us
who are here can testify. To-day w<? are
bright and happy with loved ones all about
us, to-morrow our bleeding hearts lie
crushed at the feet of the dre&d destroyer.
The sun has been dimmed in the heavens
and life has lost its charms.
I have thus given you a brief sketch of
all our missions hoping in having a better
knowledge of them you could remember
i them more intelligently at a throne of
grace. For they are in a real way our
substitutes in this holy war and one request
they make above all others. The one
appeal in every missionary letter that
comes by land or sea is, "pray for us,
and as I have been bringing the names
of these missionaries up one by one, por
haps some one here nas been thinking,
how I would like to know how the call
oomes to each one of these. Did it come
all at once T A short sharp bugle blast
say the Master hath need of thee, up and
away. His grace will be sufficient, Ilis
love will make up ior all; or was it a sweet
and tender drawing all the way along from
childhood and the mother's evening prayer?
This is sacred ground. Every individual
heart has [its own .individual story. But
,be sure of this that God loads his own and
not one secret struggle, not one quiet brave
resolve has been unmarked by him. And
now, dear friends, in closing just another
word. Let this day be the beginning of a
new era of repaid development in the
missionary wort in our Presbytery. Let
us be more active in serving, more generous
in giving and more earnest and persistent
in praying. O, let us hasten that grand
day with our efforts, - our gifts and our
iniluenco until on the wings of loving gilts
and service we will rise high enough to
hear the Master's own whisper, "it is more
blessed to give than receive," and let us
always be willing to do something, be it
ever so little.
Something for thee, Jesus, something
for the,
Teach us and help us to do or to be
Something with hand or with tongue or
with pen,
Something to honor the Savior of men.
Something for thee, Jesus, some one
to win
Out from the world with its folly and sin,
Some one to lead from the gloom of the
night
Into the joy of the children of light.
Something for thee, Jesus, something
for thee,
Help us to bear or to do or to be;
Something to merit the Father's well
done,
Something to honor the Crucified One.
~Mrs. Moore, of Butler, followed and
warmly welcomed the visiting delegates
in an admirably worded address.
MRS. MOORK'S WELCOMK.
MRS. PRESIDENT:
Ladies of the Prcsbyterial Missionary
Society.--It gives me great pleasure to day
to look into the facos of so many women
banded together for Jesus Sake.
The women of Bible times are honored;
the woman of past history are not forgot
ten; but I take it, that the women of the
present day, are doing grander and more
effective work for the Master, than at any
time in the worlds history.
Truly, "the women that published tho
tidings are a great host."
We represent but a small portion of only
one of the many Protestunt denominations
in which Woman's Work lor woman, is a
growing and widening field of labor.
Tho question is no more, "has God work
for woman iu his harvest field T" Oh no!
it is "how many women can you send !
how many will go and teach and heal!"—
for a woman Physician is a God-ordained
factor in work among women, especially
iu tho Foreign Field.
Wonian's place in Church work is not
hard to define. It is that of every Chris
tain—the place of lowly services.
Tho Son of God bumbled himself to be
born of a Virgin. He showed a son's heart
of love for that mother. He tenderly for
gave the woman who was a sinner. Ho
gratefully acknowledged the devotion of
tho bearing Sisters of Bethlaham, Holland
says;
Christ was betrayed by treason of a man.
And conveyed and hung upon a tree by
men, and the sad women who were at this
crosai, aud sought him early at the sepul
cher, have since that time in gentle
multitudes both loved and fellowed Him.
But the litxltitudes have thus followed
the Savior, countloss multitudes have nev
<y known htm. Thousands upon thous
ands who bear tho namo of "Woman" bear
It as a cross, a bearing cross from which
even death itself cannot relieve them. It
is to these, that the Blessed Gospel of tho
Son of God, must be sent by us who arc
so highly favor**! wom»n as to l>c
chosen harbingers of "The Glad Tidings of
Great Joy which shall be to all people." _
In the name of the Ladies ot the Mis
sionary" Society of thin Chnrcb, I welcome
yon, hoping that your sojonrn among ns
may lie mutually helpful and may stimu
late ns all to greater \ iligence and zeal in
'•.Serving."
Mrs. Dixon responded feelingly, a* did
others who followed. Alter the seating of
delegates the report of Mrs. Agnes MoCol
longh, of Grove City, the corresponding
Secretary,was heard.which was as follows:
SIXTRKSTH ANNCAL BKPORT.
We now present tor your consideration
the sixteenth annual report of the Butler
Pres. Miss. Society. May we ask for yonr
attention as wo read. It was my purpose
at first to give an itemized account of the
work done by the Auxiliaries and Bands,
making special mention of each, but to do
so would bo only to state in advance, what
will be given you to morrow by the dele
gates. There'are a few things, however
that must be spoken of. Allegheny, the
first name on our roll has met with a
serious loss in the death of their President
Mrs. A. B. Miller, but they have held on
contributing liberallv. and holding seven
meetings. Amity is carrying ont the
principle implied in iU name, we holding
meetings at the homes of the member*.
They meet at Uo'clock, staying to 'J inner
and report vory pleasant times. Buffalo
reports that they are without a pastor,
there were somethings that hinder them,
and that tbev are discouraged. From
Rutler. Concord. Centre and tentrenlle
we have received good tidings. Cliuton
yille Auxiliaries seems to have fallen back
sadly, but their Young Ladies Circle have
taken up the work nobly, cannot the
mothers in this case learn a lesson from
the daughters? Grove City holds on her
way with growing love for the work. 1 his
Society has held a meeting every month
without a failure in sixteen years. Harris
ville failed to report to the Secretary last
year and this year also, but we see that
they are credited with a contribution to
Foreign Missions, and we are happy to re
tain their name on our roll. Mt. Ncl»o has
been reduced by removals, as a congrega
tion to a membership of 45. Ofcourse this
tells unfavorably on the Miss. Soc. so long
one of our prayerful sympathy. The Aux
iliaries have all been heard from, with tbe
exception mentioned. Does not this state
ment stir the heart to gladness sister.
And then though there was so much Holi
ness, and so much unpleasent weather the
meetings have been surprisingly well
maintained. A number of the Auxiliaries,
express a hope that they are growing in
speak of having been blest them
selves, as they have engaged in this bless
ed work for the Master. Stating that they
enter upon the new year with quickened
zeal. Very cheering have been the little
letters sent with the reports. Through
these wo have had glimpse into the interior
of a memlter or the meetings. Now we
must speak of the work anionp our young
people. The Young Ladies Circle.Clinton
ville; the McCauley Hand. Centroville; the
Ephraim Band, Middlesex; the Morning
Star, Mnddy Creek; and the Little (J rains
of Sand. Grove City; have sent excellent
reports, as have also, the Busy Bees, of
Sunbury, the Plain Grove 1. L. Circle,
and the New Hope S. S. Hand. The
I'ortersville Band ha* di>bauded, haying
lost two presidents within a short time.
We believe, though no word to that effect
has been sent to ns, that one or two other*
not reporting have been merged into the
Christian Endeavor Society. Now. of this
we have no word of complaint. It is in
almost all cases the very best thing a weak
or failing band can do, and it is the vei\
best way of bringing the young men anil
boys in our churches into the work. In
looking oyer the annual report of the »o
man's Board we find 115 Y.P.C.L. S. on
our roll, which gives evidence that they
send their contributions for Mission pui*
poses, through that agency. Now, whilst
we would not dictate to our noble Endeavor
Societies, we would kindly suggest that
where a "band" previously belonging to
us, has been absorbed it would be bnt just
that the funds giving for Mission work by
that "Endeavor" should be sent to our
Presbyterial Treasurers. Of course they
will receive credit in their own name.
lu some respects our Pres. Society is
doing better than iu any previous year of
its history. Wo see the monthly meetings
well sustained, wo see an increase in the
Magazines Wo take 90 copies, U. M- M.,
02 C. W., 140 W. W. W. We have sent
boxes and barrels to the value of $<93.1
Our membership is now 964. No. of
Societies 31. Bands 20. Wo support in
frruljiii work, Stis* H. A.
India; Mrs. Belle E. Dodd. Lspoon, Laos.
Wo know also of a native Chinaman sup
ported by four ladies in the Grove t ity
Auxiliary. In home work wo have Miss
Stephenson in the the Seminary at Afho
ville, and also Miss Montgomery in the
same school, who is supported by tho But
ler Auxiliary, No part of tho Masters
work touches our hearts more than this of
Miss S. and her colloagues among the
Mountain Whites, of the south. Wo
pledge her our undimminished interest and
our hearty support. Now, are we willing
to advance? Let overy heart respond with
an earnest cry, for greater faith, greater
love and renewed consecration.
Respectfully Submitted,
AOSBS MCCOLLOUUII,
Pres. Sec.
A vocal dnet by Mi** Alice Wick and
her sister Mr?. D. E. Dale was then render

were discussed with much ability and
readiness by the following members:
"What is the best way to conduct a
Missionary meetingT" Was answered_by
Miss Ella Cunningham, of Groye City,
she said, "The best way is to begin with
one's whole heart in the work, always ad

"What is the best way to increase our
membership ? Mrs. Dr. l'earson.
"is the work done for one's own local
cliurcli and for its ignorant and poor, Mis
sionary work." Mrs. Brandon.
Miss Ella Cunningham followed with an
interesting essay.
Mrs. E. M. Colbert then read several
beautiful letters from Mrs. Dodd, a Mis
sinary, which we would publish if spaoo
could permit.
On Tuesday evening, a popular meeting
was held, which v/as addressed by Mrs.
Tracy and Miss McKay.
On Wednesday iuorning,after devotional
exercises conducted by Mrs. Wright, re

To mo this in the one iuiimrtaut question
in Missionary Work. Could we reach the
ull interested then all would become inter
ested, and who can tell what great and
grand good would come of this ?
First. To interest others our own hearts
must be more lullv charged with a living
purpose and a zeal born of God. We can
not expect to import to others any greater
measure of enthusiasm than we really
possess. Wo must rely more on God for
all our plans. I sometimes think the
whole difficulty of impressing and interest
iug others lies within ourselves. We plan
our meeting, send out our Missionary
literature and lift up our voices in earnest
appeal for money and laborers, while per
haps (unconsciously) we are placing
our reliance upon visible means, ignoring
tho influence of the Holy Spirit.
To have our meetings interesting and
have others interested in them, it is neces
sary we have organized method of work,
and follow approved plans. Its is import
ant tbut in every church there bo a Wo
man's Missionary Society. We should
encourage prayerful study concerning tho
great needs of our country, and bring to
the attention ofChriatain Women,the help
fill things written and spoken which aro
calculated to arouse interest. We must
press forward with au earnestness that
knows no weariness.
1 thiuk one<<f tho special ways of interest
ing others v Olid bo to prepare for our Mis
denary meeting, a.s wc do in our literary
clubs,|throwing open our homes for oc
casional lectures, talks and papers on in
portant phases of the work. Lot
there be carefully prepared programs,
good music, short recitations and spicy
talks. Issue invitatations to those as to
our evening ineeliu«»s, bring to these mret
ings friends who aro not interested that
they will not go away uninterested.
As the President shall always have
charge of these meetings, have a bright
wide awake active President. One who is
alive to the needs, who is willing and able
and one who is zealous in the cause. She
then will unpart to all a inspiration,
and above all one whose heart is full of
love to all. Much has been said and writ
ten about having all the women of the
church interested in missionary work.
Why not change our tactics and try to in
terest the men. It certainly will take the
combined forces of men and women to
scatter the dark clouds that are hovering
over our dear land and to mako true onr
motto "America for Christ."
As I have said wo must make efforts to
thoroughly arouse men and women as to
the great need of their all becoming inter
esteu. Then and not till then can we
reach the uninterested. And shall we,the
Christian women of America, leave un
made one effort that may help spread
abroad the pure and undclilcd religion o!
our Lord? If it were possible that any of
us believed only in Foreign Missions, bow
could wc leavo ont of our reckoning our
own country which is rapidly tilling up
with a foreign population. These vast
throngs are entering our gates and popu
lating our laud at the rate of hall a million
a year, and no difference how great tho
need becomes, it not likely any other
Christian country will end missionaries to
convert onr heathen. I think there are so
many good Christian women who feol they
can dt> go little, and because of this feeling
do nothing. Il any such are hern today
I would say you can do everything; you
can serve—you can givo—you can pray.
Tho best example of self sacrificing liber
ality recorded in the Bible is of woman;
tho best example of loving service is of
woman, the beat example of conquering
prayer is of women The gift, a widow's
mite; the service, the anointing of Jerfus
with a box of ointment; the prayer, a
mother's prayer lor her daughter. 'Twa*
no great gilt, no great service, no great
prayer, but it was given in love and faith,
and self sacrifice. la the .-ight of God it
was of great price. Jesus never let fall
such words of royal commendation as con
cerning these three women. To the poor
widow he said. "She has cast in more than
them all:" to Mary with her alabaster box
of ointment, "She has done what she
could:" and to the praying Caananitish wo
man. "O woman great is thy faith, be it
unto thee even as thou wilt." Surely
such gifts, such service and such prayer is
possible to every one of us.

Thk late reports from that part of Min
nesota devastated by a cyclone last week,
indicate greater destruction and loss of life
than the first Fifty people were killed at
one point a whole village was swept awai - ,
and the country was flooded. Parts of
Jaek.>on. Martin. Faribault, Freeborn, and
Blue Earth counties were devastated.
THS fact that lion. James G. Blaine was
attending the funeral of a favorite son in
Chicago on the very day the Democratic
National Convention assembled in that
great city, is one that illustrates the un
certainties ami strange events that happen
in this life. But two weeks before, this
son was at Minneapolis assisting in
the eiroit to have his father made the Re
publican nominee for President. There is
a sadness and sorrow in such unexpected
trials and Mr. Blaine has the sympathy of
all parties and the* whole N'ation in his
great atlliction.

Sad Death of Miss Jennie Konkle.
Tht>«Wath of Miss Jennie Konkle, of
Calleiuburg. Pa., occnred at the house of
Mrs. Dougan. on Locust street, Friday
night the 18th inst. The remains were
taken to her home in Callensburg Saturday
evening, and laid in their last resting
El ace Monday morning. Funeral services
eing held in tho Presbyterian church by
Revs. Frampton and Shanor. The young
lady was very popular and a large number
of friends and acquaintances attended the
funeral, aud her death is mourned by all
who knew her. She had been a noble
worker in the M. 10. church of that place,
while she was yet able to be about. The
latter chnrch was draped in mourning, and
the Rev. Frampton, of that church, spoke
very pathetically of her death, and the
good deeds she had done, in his sermon
last Sunday. She was also a member of
the Tonipe'rance workers in which she
took an active part. A sad incident
connected with her death, was that none
of her folks were present during her last
hours. They had been here to see her, but
the physician in charge informed them
that there was no danger and they conld
safely return, and with this assurauce they
returned; her mother being the last to
leave Friday morning. Her folks were
nearly prostrated when they heard the
sad news. The deceased was 21 years of
age. and had Keen ailing for the past six
months. Her case was a puzzle to the
physicians, and she came here in February
anil consulted one of our prominent
physicians who pronounced her case to be
one ol "floating kidney" and said it was
curable and that she was in no danger
whatever. Ho prescribed for her and she
returned home, after a week's stay, being
somewhat relieved. She grew better for
a while but soon changed for the worse.
She came here again about three weeks
ago, and was under the doctor's care up to
the time of h«r death. A post mortem
examination was held by Drs. Bell, Black,
Hoover, Xeyman, Pillow and Forrester,
Saturday afternoon, when it was revealed
that death had resulted from perforation
of tho bowel—an egg shell being found
therein. Tho kidneys wero in perfect
order.
A CARD OF THANKS.
The family anil friends ofthe lato Jennie
Konklo desire .to expross their sincere
thanks to Mrs. Dougan and others, for tho
kindness and good attention given to the
deceased during her last illness. We also
thauk the people of Callonsburg for their
helping hand iu the time of our breavement.
