Chapter II: Part 2

OUR INDUSTRIAL TEACHERS are heavily taxed just now in providing sewing material for classes. We need basted patchwork, and basted under garments for the sewing departments throughout the field, but especially for Anniston and Mobile, Alabama; Memphis and Jonesboro, Tennessee; Tougaloo, Mississippi; and Austin, Texas. One missionary writes, "I find my classes very large. In beginning I have about one hundred girls in sewing, about thirty in Household Economy and Cooking, and later I shall have a large class in Nursing. This work added to the care of the Mission Home will, I fear, be more than I can carry, unless I have help, and I do not see how I can let one bit of the work stop. I am sure there are plenty of good friends at the North who will gladly help when they know."

WE HAVE ADDED a special industrial teacher to the force in Trinity School at Athens, Alabama. Miss Perkins writes: "I am charmed with the school and the inside of the building. I wish each day that our Northern friends could look in at Chapel. I think they would feel repaid in great measure by the goodly sight. I was glad to find a Christian Endeavor Society in the school, it seemed so like home."

WOMAN'S WORK IN NORTH CAROLINA.

BY MISS A.E. FARRINGTON.

On Thursday, Oct. 3d, a Woman's Missionary Union was organized for the Congregational churches of North Carolina. A year ago, at the meeting of the State Association in Wilmington, the subject was discussed, and a committee was appointed to confer with the ladies of the churches in regard to a local organization in each church. The plan met with favor, and on coming together this year it was found that nearly every church reported a missionary society in some form. All were therefore ready for the State Union, when the Association of Congregational Churches convened in the little country church at Oaks. As there was no chapel or church parlor to be placed at the disposal of the ladies, they withdrew to the grove, and there under the tall, symmetrical oaks by the veranda of the little mission home of Miss Douglass, the organization was effected with the aid of Miss Emerson, of New York, who was present.

The following evening a public meeting was held at which reports were heard from the local societies. The dark countenances were light with eager interest, as they listened to the account of the work done by the women. One told of a society, organized in February with two members who became President and Treasurer. The numbers soon increased to eight, all of them hard-working women, one of them the mother of twelve children for whom she found it difficult to provide, yet that society reported $10.61 as the result of their eight months' work.

Another reported a weekly Bible reading in connection with the Woman's Society, at which one who could read took the Bible while others gathered around, and "as they got to understand the Word" they spoke to one another of the work of the Lord in their own hearts.

Report was made of a contribution to the Indian work at Fort Berthold, also a quilt made by the little girls for a Christmas present to the Indian children.

One society, embracing both home and foreign work, cared for the sick and needy of its own church, and also sent contributions to Africa.

Knowing, as I do, the poverty of this people and the sacrifices they make, I could but feel that if in the North there should be as ready and proportionate a response, the treasury of the Lord would be overflowing.

THE CARMINA SANCTORUM.

THE NEW HYMN AND TUNE BOOK

FOR EVANGELICAL CHURCHES.

COMMENDATIONS.

Messrs. A.S. Barnes & Co. publish a great variety of valuable works. There is nothing better in the line of hymn books than their "Carmina Sanctorum," edited by Zachary Eddy, Lewis Ward Mudge and the late Dr. Roswell Dwight Hitchcock. This book of sacred song has already been adopted by over _400 CHURCHES_ of different denominations--_The New York Observer._

Any congregation that likes to have its hymnal represent careful thought and full culture, would do well to examine this collection of "Carmina Sanctorum," recently published by A.S. Barnes & Co. The editors have taken it for granted that choirs and congregations are desiring, not revolution, but only improvement in their service of song, i.e.--the plan is conservative, but not narrowly so. It represents the great communion of saints of all ages and nations. All corners of the vast hymnic field have been drawn on.--_The Independent, New York._

"Carmina Sanctorum" contains 746 hymns, 21 doxologies, 43 chants, 450 tunes and 7 separate indexes. The hymns are only the choicest, and they have been carefully edited by that accomplished authority in hymnody, Dr. Hitchcock, who gives the date and authorship of each hymn and notes all abbreviations and changes in each page. The responses are selected from the revision and make a complete manual. The cream of the old [tunes] is all here. The cream of the new is all here. As The AMERICAN CHURCHES HAVE GROWN IN TASTE AND CAPACITY FOR MUSICAL EXPRESSION IN WORSHIP, THIS BOOK SEEMS TO MEET THEIR WANTS COMPLETELY, GIVING THEM PLENTY OF TUNES, THEY CAN AND WILL SING, AND AT THE SAME TIME EDUCATING THEIR TASTE AND IMPROVING THEIR PUBLIC WORSHIP. It is also a pleasant feature that when new tunes are furnished to certain hymns, the more familiar ones will be found on the same page. To all this may be added that four editions are published, two with music and two without, and they are all cheap.--_The New York Evangelist._
