A large public meeting has been held in Jellico, Tenn., in which the
"law-abiding citizens," expressed their intense condemnation of this
"brutal, but cowardly act of shooting Prof. Lawrence." This body of
citizens voted to prosecute the scoundrel Chandler, who did the
shooting, and raised the money _at once_ to carry forward that
prosecution! Good for Jellico, say we all!! Will Iowa permit
Tennessee to surpass her in the execution of whiskey murderers?

"The Pansy Society," consisting of a company of seven girls and boys,
sent to the New England office of the A.M.A. $13 which _they had
themselves earned!_ What society of young people will be "next"? Here
is a work, especially a children's and young people's work, for
establishing schools, planting Sabbath schools, sending missionaries
into homes to teach the Ninety thousand mothers in a single Southern
State who cannot read! In a company of fifty children, the A.M.A.
teacher asked: "How many of you ever knelt at your mother's knee, or
at all in your home, and prayed?" _Not a single hand went up in all
that company!_ "Children's work for children;" "Mother's work for
mothers," are watchwords of the A.M.A., that should awaken
enthusiastic response and greatly increase the benefactions of all
toward this effort to Christianize the homes of our land!
