Expect Great Things from God. Attempt Great Things for God.

"O GIVE thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. What shall I render unto God for all his benefits toward me? I will offer unto thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving."

THE receipts for the month ending June 18th were about three hundred dollars more than for the same month last year, and there is a gratifying increase in legacies. There is still a deficiency of $7,300 to be made up in contributions, but we have taken a start upward. Let us take courage, and press on till the whole is made up.

THERE are some changes in the names on our Calendar for August. Before the Calendar was really issued, although already printed, the name of Mrs. Charlotte H. Chandler was enrolled with the saints in the other world, in that Presence which "is fullness of joy," amid "pleasures forevermore." Her daughter Gertrude was married June 22d to Rev. John H. Wyckoff, with whom she sailed in July for the Arcot Mission, under the care of the Reformed Church. Notwithstanding the many regrets at the severance of her connection with our Board, we doubt not she will be followed by many prayers for blessing and usefulness in her new relations. Dr. Kate C. Woodhull is now in this country, very much worn by her exhausting labors in Foochow. The woman's medical work and the hos

pital, deprived of her untiring care, and the sister left behind in China, will have special share in the prayers for Dr. Woodhull's speedy recovery. Among causes for thankfulness is the going out of Miss Mary Noyes, who is to be associated with her sister, Miss Bessie, in the Madura Normal School, and who started for India July 16th. On the day of prayer for missionaries in this country seeking health, let us remember also those on their way, or just returned to their fields. These are Miss Dodd for Constantinople, Miss Farnham for Adabazar, Miss McCallum for Smyrna, Mrs. Parsons for Nicomedia,-all in Western Turkey; Mrs. Montgomery for Adana, in Central Turkey; Miss [Dr.] Kimball, taking with her Miss Kate E. Fraser, going for the first time to Van, Eastern Turkey; Miss Colby for Tsu, Japan; Miss Annie E. Abell, on her way to Micronesia, going for the first time; Mrs. Wm. Gulick, who sailed for Spain, June 25th. Those at home, or soon to arrive, so far as known at the time of writing, are Mrs. Chamberlain from Sivas, Miss Prime and Miss Melvin from Constantinople, Miss Sheldon from Adabazar, Mrs. Tracy from Marsovan, Western Turkey; Miss West from Oorfa, Central Turkey; Miss Bush, Miss Johnson, Miss Ladd, and Mrs. Raynolds, from Van, Eastern Turkey; Mrs. Hume (to return in October) and Miss Lyman from Bombay, Miss Bissell from Ahmednagar, in the Marathi Mission; Dr. Pauline Root from Madura, Dr. Kate C. Woodhull from Foochow, China; Mrs. Gordon and Miss White from Kyoto, Miss Graves from Kobe, Japan; Miss Webb (to return in September) from San Sebastian, Spain.

THE first results of "Self-denial Week" were received early Monday morning, June 20th, in the form of a bundle of envelopes containing $44 from the South Church in Salem, Mass. At the time of writing about $150 more have come into the Board Rooms from the effort in other places. As the money would generally go to Branch treasurers, it is quite too early to count up results. It is doubtful if we can ever know the exact result in dollars and cents, but we may be sure that no honest effort made in Christ's name ever fails of his blessing.

So great His gifts to us have been,
We cannot count them one by one;

And all our words can but begin

To tell the wonders He has done.

Shall we then take His gifts so free,

And give Him naught but word of praise?

What offering too great could be

For love that so hath crowned our days?

Mrs. Baird, of Monastir, sends us the following. We had not thought our simultaneous meetings would extend across the seas, but it is exceedingly pleasant to know that they did so :

My experiences as leader of two missionary societies make me sympathize very deeply with those who are engaged in the same work. The suggestions in LIFE AND LIGHT for a special missionary day on March 26th, came just a week before that time. On the spur of the moment we arranged a semipublic meeting of three missionary socities-Mrs. Bond's "Well-doers," a boys' society," Sympathy," the Senior society, and "Help," the Juvenile one. We had a very enjoyable meeting. The Russian and Servian consul's wives were present, also an English lady residing here, who is quite in sympathy with us. She was educated at the "Home" in Constantinople. The Russian and Servian ladies understood most of what was said. The Russian lady afterward sent a generous contribution to the societies. Only women were invited to this meeting, as it was really a prayer meeting.

The Christian (London) gives an account of three addresses made in London by Dr. Pentecost on his way home from India. In one of them he is reported to have spoken of Pundita Ramabai, the learned Hindu lady, so well known in this country, as follows:

THE Pundita attended his services in Poona, never missing a meeting for six weeks. One evening, in a testimony meeting, she surprised everybody by standing up and saying she wanted to bear her testimony to the great goodness and grace of God. She subsequently wrote a letter to Dr. Pentecost, stating that up to that time she had not had peace of soul, but on such and such a night at the meeting she was led to see that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that his death was for the expiation of human sin. She had cast herself on him as the Saviour; and since then peace had ruled in her soul, and she now confessed him as her Redeemer, and the Redeemer of the world.

If nothing else had been accomplished by his mission than that this brightest among all the women of India should have been led clearly into the knowledge of Jesus Christ and of salvation, it would have been ample compensation. Dr. Pentecost said, for all these months of labor.

THANKS be unto God for "the success we were not counting on; the blessing we were not trying after; the strain of music in the midst of drudgery; the beautiful morning picture as we pass to or from our daily business; the unsought word of encouragement or expression of sympathy," and the thousand little delights of everyday life.
