Dr. Henry Wade Rogers, President of the North-western University, Evanston, Ill., delivered an able and eloquent address. He said: The Woman's Home Missionary Society found its organization in the love for Christ, home and native land, and it was the blessed in?uence of woman from the time of Pharaoh's daughter to the present that had contributed greatly to the amelioration of the condition of men. In speaking of this peculiar field of woman he referred to her excellent' work in organizing and conducting found ling and orphan asylums and maintaining other institutions intended to care for those who lacked the attention of parents, and needed the comforts of life. It was a woman, Abigail, who prevented the first con?ict between capital and labor, at the time when Nabal and David disagreed. The three great exponents of woman's work, the speaker thought to be Florence Nightingale, Clara Barton and Frances Willard.
