If MAN Hv I HISSIYOF"" PI FIFE IN INDIA [Miss Rosetta Beck Describes Missionary Work in the Orient. manning ton. may s?ucsular services at tlie First M. E. Church were not held last night in order that Miss Rosetta Beck of India might address the congregation upon missionary work in the Orient. Miss Beck was introduced by Mrs. L. S. Spragg oi' Wheeling. spoke very entertainingly of " Oie mission field in India, especially "of her own work. The first part of her talk v;;i : given as a sort of review of her preparation K and reasons for going to Asia, and why. Missionary work in India. said Jiiss Beck, is greatly handicapped .JflBy the scarcity of missionaries. v"tr'.oPie here have been asking for ?Pen door, she said, but the |^A';dwr has been opened so wide that are thousands asking for . Christ's message who cannot be ^ ' reached by the present number of - field workers. She asked that the people here at homo pray for more , missionaries, but not for more ^ "ppen door." - - fn speak i rig of her first oxper;>.Jif.' ' ience in Bombay, where she landed, Miss Beck said at first she was , surprised to find the city so mod :rn? i>ut when Sunday came and 1 she went to one of the missions fcthere was no longer any doubt in mind that she was in India. ^Hri ' It neither smelled like America nor looked like America, she de ,-;.cia,ir?5u. ijf Miss Beck expressed alarm at ! * some of the things she has seen since returning to America, and V.'. said that she has learned that not all the Christians are in America, nor are ali the heathens in the Orient. She asked that the home people read more of the life of Christ, and practice His teachings more earnestly. "It is the people who road a little of the Yvord ot K God each day who do the bigrcst things," she declared. Miss Beck speke very highly of an Indian woman, Kursa u.ma, wiic V was converted after reaching the age of fifty. Nursamnia' war cue I of the greatest helps to he; alter [ reaching her station, she said, and before Miss Beck learned to speak i the native tongue Nursamnia did ) the preaching for her. Miss Beck (j went along to attract the crowd with her white' face, and the i native womat preached to the | gatherings. This t woman, said Miss Beck, ^j| took her to the place where she it was bhrn and reared. Here she y . %howed Miss Beck an idol that she had worshipped when at home, kand said that through all the years there had been no happiness in hfer life until she heard of H - Jesus,;- In her anger and disgust Nursamma slapped, kicked, and K spit upon the idol, and when Miss . : Beck rebuked her Nursarama told !:; her that she could never under' *5 stand, -because she could never know How many times Nursamma yy/i^fehad lain upon the ground in front v' 70I the idol and shed tears, praying Jfc'to it, nor how much bitterness ; there had been in her life. She .) then showed Miss Beck a well / where once she had thrown ner, - self, trying to end lier life. t Now Nursamma is one of the. hardest working preachers in the ^district. Once, said Miss Bock, tSm&tizn Nursamma had a small , <3|fSrunk on her head, a bag of supwj plies in one hand and some cliick/ ju ens in the other, she was crossing : > V a stream, the water nearly to her knees. In the middle of a stream Nursamma met a man. and at once stopped and began to preacli to him. The rest of the party were on the other side waiting to go on, \ and one of them called to NurJ flamma to come on. The native "if woman looked at him with siir, f prise and said, "Why. maybe I'll never see this man again!" That, f y said Miss Beck, is what tho money you people here in America send Ius is doing, and there are thousands of such cases. There are no churches in India.. at least in the section where Miss Beck is located, it was stated, and since the people have to work duri ing the day, the meetings are all held'at night, sometimes lasting until 2 o'clock in the morning. Miss Beck is a very pleading speaker, and is thoroughly conversant -with her subject, having i gone to India in 1915. Her plea ' is earnestly made that America do * 7 more for that country because there are fewer missionaries being ) secured this year than there were . ) in 1921, she said, and the work is continually demanding more, and more.

Armeu with his diploma and his handcuffs, he stealthily approached the spot from whence the sound of shooting had come. As he neared the place he saw a man. Using all his detective ability and instinct, Byrne approached the stranger and en gaged him in conversation about hearing shots fired. The man also; had heard the shots but did not say he had fired them. This did not baffle the new Sherlock Holmes. He attacked his. prey from a different angle and he I fore Ions lie bad wrung a eonfes-i sion from the man ,\vho was Jack Barnado of 414 Spence street, that he had fired the shots. Byrne then; demanded the sun. and "Barnado! gave him the weapon, a new .3S i Spanish make revolver. Byrne ex-j amined the gun and found that 'tj contained six .38 caliber, steel jack | eted bullets.
