little uplift of enthusiasm in a good cause, we arranged to have a
Christian Endeavor rally of societies from five neighboring towns, and
also to invite the members of two Sunday-schools that are bravely
"lifting the gospel banner," each in a scattered community near by,
where there is no church. The people began to arrive about half-past

hastened to take them about. In the blacksmith shop, two young men who
had been in school only a year, were making some steel nut-crackers. A
table covered with hooks, bolts, chains, towels, ice-picks, etc.,
represented the work done during the year. In the printing office, the
boys were turning the press, and printing our Indian paper. The
carpenter-shop exhibit contained some neat boxes, tables, and cabinets,
and here some small boys were at work making joints. In the cooking
school, the girls were making biscuits, coffee, and corn-bread, while
the table was covered with nice loaves of bread, cake, rolls, and
cookies, made the day before. Here, also, the girls' sewing was
displayed. There was a neat set of doll's clothing, a doll's mattress,
pillows, sheets, and pillow-cases, a number of boys' shirts ready for
use in the school, beside other clothing for the girls. The primary

examination papers, maps on paper and in sand, and a collection of
botanical specimens. Ab
