On Sunday afternoon at the Bap tist church the Sunbeam held a pub lic meeting, the program giving a demonstration of work amoug the Indians where the contributions from Sunbeam bands are now being 3ent. The pulpit was made into an In dian scene, a wigwarm beinsr in the center, and in the door sat what we thought was a little Indian maiden, the prettiest one that ever was, but j after awhile we discovered that it was little Anua Tompkins who sang "Jesus loves me" and made all the other little Indiau maidens seated around so happy. Julia Strom, Gladys Lawtoi Corrie Cheatbam and Eleanor Mimi all represented Indians, but tbe.\ were not fierce, because they had learned to walkin the "Jesus roaa. Little Margaret Lyon sang a beau tiful sunshine song, and Rachael Arthur told a missionary story anc Grace Rearden and Talbert san j "My Mother's Bible," and last was the raising of the nation's flag and the salute, and then the unfurling of the christian conquest flag and the salute to that. Corrie Cheatham sang "Throw out the life line," and Elise Hud gens read a statement of the need of missions among the Indians. It was all very inspiring and made "hope spring eternal" in every heart, for all this beautiful program and all it represented of thought) and talent and music and stage ar rangement, was done by Gladys Tjjon who not only had the capacity .or these things which in itself is unusual, but'the courage to under take it, and the unselfish spirit to ?ive her time and all she possessed of talent and gifts towards the per fection of this afternoon's entertain ment. How splendid it is that now and then on the highway of life, we meet up with such a soul! How it| cheers the weary way, and makes us look up and take renewed courage. How wise it is to exercise gifts in the ways of holiness that the Lord may be able to multiply them into infinity. A Spectator.
