taught to sew, &c. Mrs. Shaw finds material, cuts out, and teaches them to make articles of clothing, which become their own as soon as they are properly made. While they work, and after the work is over, they are read to, and talked to, and the afternoon's engagements include singing, &c. There is reason to hope that this work, meeting as it does, a felt want, will prove a

success.

News and Notes.

MISS LEIGH, accompanied by the daughter of Dr. Stewart, of Cuttack, left for India in the S.S. Dacca, Nov. 27th. During the time of her furlough, she has attended and addressed between thirty and forty drawing-room and other meetings in London, Caversham, Reading, Derby, Yorkshire, and other parts of the country. In response to her appeals support has been promised for two Bible women and eight orphans. Boxes of work, or contributions, have been received from Caversham, Reading, Highbury, Islington, Westbourne Park, Woburn-Miss Biggs's Young Ladies' Meeting. Grants of books and pictures have been received from the Ladies' Female Education Society, the Religious Tract Society, and from the Children's Special Service Mission. Farewell meetings were held in connection with the Ladies' Society, and also at Westbourne Park chapel. At the latter quite a number of presents were given to Miss Leigh for the Mission Schools, and also to her personally. She returns, accompanied by the good wishes and earnest prayers of her numerous friends.

MISSION SERVICES.-Since the publication of the last list, mission services have been conducted by the Secretary at Melbourne and Ticknall, Nottingham, Old Basford, Burton-on-Trent (Juvenile), Landport, and Beeston. The meeting at Melbourne was also addressed by the Revs. T. R. Stevenson and G. Robinson, and that at Old Basford by the Rev. W. Chapman. Mr. Wood has also conducted services at Long Eaton, Stalybridge, and Poynton; at the former place, Mr. Stevenson again pleaded the sacred cause. The Rev. W. A. Davies has also preached at Kegworth and Diseworth, and Z. T. Dowen at Macclesfield.

By reference to the list of contributions it will be seen that the amount received from Old Basford is no less than £104 2s. 9d! Of this amount, £88 168. 4d. was collected by the scholars: the seniors (25) obtaining £52 4s. 4d., and the juniors (38) £36 12s. For this grand result we are to look, not to the wealth of the church or school, for there are others much wealthier and larger, but to the spirit of the people and to the efficacy of the organization. Mr. Bexon, the indefatigable Secretary, receives the money from the collectors once a month, giving them at the same time a copy of the Record. On the Saturday preceding the services the annual tea meeting is held. Moreover, in the summer time the collectors are taken to some place in the locality, where they have tea; and by addresses, singing, and in various other ways their interest in the great work is awakened and sustained. In other churches similar plans are adopted, and we are quite sure that if they were more generally copied, not only would the Mission Funds be greatly helped, but the churches and schools would be enriched and blessed. Yes! in the training it gives-in the joy it affords-in the good it accomplishes-it is indeed more blessed to give than to receive.

Mr. Geo. Thos. Congreve's New Work on

CONSUMPTION, CHRONIC BRONCHITIS,

COUGH, AND OTHER CHEST DISEASES,

POST FREE for d., or LARGE EDITION (bound in cloth), 1s. 3d., from ELLIOT STOCK 62, PATERNOSTER ROW, or from the AUTHOR, COOMBE LODGE, PECKHAM, S.E.

The following MOST INTERESTING and REMARKABLE CASE is thus commented upon by the "Christian Globe." From the CHRISTIAN GLOBE, December 27:

"THE CURE OF CONSUMPTION."

"THAT this terrible malady, so constantly declared to be incurable by medical men of all grades, is amenable to judicious treatment, is a fact to be hailed with joy and gratitude by thousands. The subject is one of intense interest, for there is scarcely a person but has, or has had, some friend or relative suffering from this insidious disease.

"The world is much indebted to Mr. G. T. CONGREVE for his discovery of a successful treatment of consumption. Well authenticated cases of cure continue to appear weekly in this and other journals. We believe them to be perfectly reliable.

"We are pleased to call attention to a case which has come under our own personal knowledge. The young lady referred to in the following account was sent to Mr. C. by the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon, many of whose students and members have been benefited by Mr. Congreve's treatment.

"When Miss F. C. visited Mr. Congreve she had been ill for two years, during which time Consumption had been stealing upon her. The symptoms commenced with pain in the upper lobe of the right lung, followed by laborious breathing, rapid loss of flesh and strength, cough hard, expectoration difficult. On examination, "the apex of right lung diseased." The patient was under treatment for eleven months, during which time she paid nearly monthly visits to Coombe Lodge, and the examinations from time to time gave evidence of gradual and steady improvement. There were certain symptoms of nervous debility, hysteria, and occasional congestion that required some special treatment, in addition to Mr. Congreve's usual remedies, but, "in about twelve months, she became thoroughly well." In process of time, this patient married, and is now the mother of a fine, healthy boy. Her husband, in a letter to Mr. C., brimful of kindly expressions of gratitude, and which is dated November 11, 1883, says:

"You will remember the case of Miss F. C, who was in a sad state of Consumption, and who is now my wife. You may remember her case caused me deep anxiety. You have been so thoroughly successful in restoring her to health, by God's blessing, we consider it our duty to write you and thank you for your great kindness to her, &c., &c. -J. CHAPMAN, 41, Leipsic Road, Camberwell.'

"The reader of this who has any interest in the matter should obtain Mr. Congreve's book (the largest edition, in cloth, for 15 stamps), which may be had, post free, from his professional residence, Coombe Lodge, Peckham, S.E.

"With such evidence as this book affords, and that which is weekly brought before the public, none need despair."

THE

MR. CONGREVE IS PUBLISHING A NEW CASE FOR EVERY WEEK IN "CHRISTIAN WORLD," 66 GLOBE," "HERALD," AND ABOUT TWENTY WEEKLY PAPERS. THE READER WHO HAS ANY INTEREST IN CASES OF CHEST DISEASE IS EARNESTLY REQUESTED TO WATCH FOR THEM WEEK BY WEEK.

Note.-Mr. Congreve's Son-in-law, J. Alex. Brown, M. R. C. S., L.S. A. is now associated with him.

Times of Consultation, TUESDAY, THURSDAY, & SATURDAY MORNINGS ONLY.
