Massachusetts and Rhode Island may find their four teachers sustained by the Woman's Home Missionary Association, and many Massachusetts ladies who have been especially interested in the school at Tougaloo may rejoice to be connected with such an institution.
Connecticut ladies have done much for their school at Thomasville, Ga., although not as largely through their State Union. This school was begun through the liberality of a Connecticut lady, and for its continuance and development this Association depends upon the Bureau of Woman's Work. Contributions from all sources are solicited.
The New York Union abides by its principles to increase its contribution each year, and in addition to the support of three missionaries, pledges six hundred dollars to the general work.
The Ohio Union comes forward also with an appropriation to the general work, additional to the support of four missionaries.
The Illinois Union continues its support to two missionaries, and hopes for a third during the year.
If the ladies of Michigan will look at the Athens, Ala., Trinity School in our list, they will see their own State represented there, an incentive, we trust, to special effort toward the sum recommended by the officers of their Union.
The ladies of Minnesota have the opportunity to aid the school at Jonesboro, Tennessee, and if they carry out the recommendation of their Minnesota Missionary Society, they will this year sustain in full the two lady teachers.
The other Missionary Unions represented in our list have shown especial interest, and nearly all have made such pledge of help as will soon secure them a special representative in the field.
A Children's Missionary is sustained by ladies and children, and special work is also assigned to Christian Endeavor Societies.
Thus it will be seen that the long list of Ladies' Societies shown each month as co-operating with us, is not merely in name. We really have their help, and a careful reading of our list of missionaries will make clear that we not only need their help, but can give them much more to do.
