Woman's Work in Japan

By Mrs. F. H. De Vinney

We have lately begun organizing "Dorcas" societies in our churches, and the members are showing much interest. The Japanese women are very ambitious to learn the Western ways of cooking, general ways of housekeeping, caring for children, and simple treatments for common ailments, such as can be given in the home. This calls them to the meetings; and as fast as they learn the object of the society, they respond eagerly to the invitation to become regular attendants. One feature of every meeting is a Bible reading, and we trust this will be the means of bringing many of these precious souls to a knowledge of the saving truth for these last days, and also broaden the sphere of usefulness of our sisters in the church, by making them real soul winners.

The Lord has blessed every effort put forth for His name's sake, and has watered our own souls as we have ministered to others.
