I must not forget to tell you that the new preacher over at the Second Church has begun a course of lectures on the work of mercy that women might do. He says that as mothers in the homes, and as teachers in the public schools and the Sabbath-schools, we have a grand opportunity." "So we have; but what avails our opportunity if our eyes are blinded so that we do not see it?" assented Mrs. Brown.
Our journey is ended. Every incident which we have imagined we saw, is recorded in God's book of remembrance as a fact. My plea is in behalf of those who would establish Sabbath-schools among the thousands of precious infant souls in the far-off West. Do you ask what you can do?

He succeeded in collecting some three or four hundred of them in his Sabbath-schools; but he soon became convinced that they must be removed from the evil influences to which they were subjected, before any improvement could be hoped for in their morals.
Brother Maglothin, who had just come with his family from Virginia, was an earnest Christian man and a licensed Wesleyan minister, and he was ready to take my place in keeping up our Sabbath-schools and meetings. Rev.
He labors devotedly and successfully as a local preacher, and is determined to live to the glory of God.
