THE ANGLICAN-MISSION.

WOMEN'S MEBTINGS. Tho midday'meetings held in tho Seamen's Institute yesterday were again very well attended. Canon Stuart took as his text part of the fourth verse of the Ninth Chapter of St. . Mark, "Talking with Jesus." ■ Three questions were involved .in these' words.- The first ono was, What is necessary if one wants to talk with Him? Secondly, what should be the topic of conversation with-Him? Thirdly, Wliat. will be the result? In regard to the first question, . the great essential .thing, is :that there should be reconciliation with Him, not thinking of Him as the Governor of the Universe, but as One who loves and yearns over us. Wo must also, get entirely apai\ and alone with Him, on the top of a Sigh mountain, as it were... As to the 6econd question, we sliould talk to Him in our solitude of His death-for mankind, ; of our want of gratitude and of consecration to Him. The result is 6een in a reflection of Divine glory in ourselves discernable in our daily work. Following shortly after, Bishop Julius, taking the subject of his...address .from. I. Corinthians,. First Chapter, spoke of the - true inward meaning' of the word calling. Through the course of long years many words had come , to change their meaning, and in this- way t!he words "occupation" arid "calling"'had come to mean- the same thing, when practically 'they, were, two different things. ' Everyone has a calling,.and what we attain to in that calling is attained by "the: grace of God." ' When we were baptised we ; were called. ; .We signed under His banker, and we must , continue to be faithful, soldiers. That is our calling,, and. in time the calling may become our occupation.'': We should, never enter upon any calling without ; "./e feeling that we were specially -sent there, to" do' our very best "at it. "D.G." ; (by . the grave of- God), • washerwoman; -D.G.,! serving, in the shop . .behind the counter; D.G., clerk in the Government offico; wherever or whatever it may be, always keeping' God in one's ' heart and trusting to Him.: ■ It may. not be the thing one. chose, but put D.G. be-hind-'it, and that calling will be carried out fully. .■" .
