since our little baby organ after a service of 20 years is refusing to assist us." An organ was obtained from a Presbyterian Sunday-school in Philadelphia; the Lutheran board gave the cost of freight and that organ is now about passing through the Suez Canal en route to its larger field of usefulness in India. A missionary of the M. E. Church, South, in Cuba, also asked for an organ. I have $10 toward the freight and am now looking for an organ somewhere in the East. Many missionaries ask for maps of Bible lands. Stereopticon pictures are often called for. A Sunday-school publishing house in Philadelphia has offered me all their surplus papers and pictures and I can send these things out as money for the postage is given me. A dollar bill will mail three rolls of the large pictures. The package will be sent in the name of the one who pays the postage. Until lately I have been able to keep up to the requests from the missionaries, but now China and Peru are making this impossible. I have now 50 urgent letters from members of the China Inland Mission. They all ask for the large and small lesson pictures and scrap books. They cannot use papers in English. Now the difficulty arises because the China Inland Mission is interdenominational and I have been working along denominational lines. Here is a great opportunity. It hurts that I failed even for two months to honor the requests of these noble workers in the very heart of China. The Regions Beyond Missionary Union and the Sudan Interior Mission have sent similar requests for pictures. A single small picture may mean a conversion. A worker in Burma writes that the native preachers beg for the cards for use in their street work. Often the sale of a portion of Scripture can be effected by giving a picture when otherwise the sale would not have been made. The card that is shown on another page of this report shows a street scene in Rangon, Burma, and perfectly illustrates the use of the large Bible picture. The plan is very simple and is fully outlined in a leaflet that can be had by writing to the Superintendent of the Department for Utilizing Waste Material, Rev. Samuel D. Price, 805 Hartford building, Chicago, Ill. Always state your denomination when you write or else ask for some interdenominational work. You will receive a card of introduction to the missionary. The cost is named last because it is the smallest part of the plan. Just the postage which is never more than 1 cent for 2 oz. whether of pictures or papers. To the Philippines or where domestic rates apply the cost for papers is but 1 cent for 4 oz. STEREOPTICON STREET WORK With a great desire that the multitudes of San Francisco, who could not get to the sessions of the Convention, be impressed with the Convention spirit, a plan was conceived and executed by the International Association whereby for six consecutive nights, at seven different strategic places, three hours each night, over one hundred different, lantern slides were thrown upon the canvas. Some were scenic views followed by appropriate verses of Scripture. Some were the pictures of prominent business men from all parts of the country, with reading matter in connection with the view showing the estimate and relation of each to the Sunday-school. Some were missionary scenes showing the changed conditions where the Sunday-school had been at work, some were Bible scenes which, with the texts accompanying them, brought to the minds of many an on-looker the days when the lessons of the Sunday and at mother's knee were so sweet. As the crowds stood reverently looking at these views, and listening now and again to the quartette which sang an old familiar song which was illustrated on the screen, exclamations of "beautiful," "wonderful," etc., were often heard. A conservative estimate indicates that over forty thousand different people were reached with these pictures during the seven days. The Superintendent of this department of the Convention's work was Mr. Geo. W. Bond, a practical stereopticon man and earnest Christian worker of Chicago. He was ably assisted by a local committee in San Francisco, with Rev. Geo. A. Hough, Pastor of Grace Methodist Episcopal Church as Chairman. The pictures of the committee and operators will be found on another page in this volume. OFFICIAL LIST OF DELEGATES ALABAMA. Barnes, Mrs. Annie L.; Tuscaloosa, Barnes, Mr. Walter Blake; Tuscaloosa.
