Life and light for woman . ctors for their faithfulness, and referred to the hope long de-ferred, but now fulfilled, of the earnest missionary captain. Rev. Dr. C. offered a fitting and fervent dedicatory prayer. All hail the powerof Jesus name was sung. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. JohnKimball, after which Captain Walkup and a Gilbert Island seaman sang afew verses in the Gilbert Island tongue. After a little delay for final things, at 3 p. m. the Hiram Bingham (we can-not say steamed ; shall we say) gasolined gracefully out of the Golden Gate,followed with many good wishes and prayers for a prosperous voyage and asuccessful work. This vessel has cost $5,100, of which $500 have been given by Mr. Walkup,and $1,000 are pledged by the Gilbert Island churches. A goodly numberof our Sunday schools and Y. P. S. C. E. on this coast are aiding. Why shouldnot all of them count it a privilege to help in such good and promising work ? [P. S. We hear that the vessel has arrived safely in Honolulu.—Ed.]. WHAT IS WOMANS SPECIALTY IN CHRISTIAN SERVICE? . BY MRS. W. F. BRUNNER. (Issued as a leaflet hy the Indiana Branch, and repiinted bj permission in Life andLight.) The mission of the ideal woman is to make the whole world is womans climate, her vital breath, her native air, and a true womancarries home with her everywhere. Its longitude may be reckoned fromwherever you happen to find her. The home surviving many changes re-mains home still, however homely, and the world is slowly making the im-mense discovery that not so much what woman does in the home, but whatshe is, makes it a possible creation. It is the Lords Ark, and does not needsteadying, for home is but the efflorescence of womans nature under thenurture of Christs gospel. These thoughts, borrowed from one whose home is in countless hearts theworld over, furnish the dominant chord for womans special service, and aremore comprehensive than appear on the surface.
