ge-ted by the Interests which have
called Us together. That grain of

With branches over all tie earth. To-
day, A. Che nineteen years OF our work

We can but Wonder. The day of
small things has indeed passed
away. while the promise of the
King has been verified. During the
tweny-one years Of service more than
80 young women Eave gone from

Congress OF Nations Mission work

centuries; Is history might have been
the record of years. But the cross has
been made the medium OF ldOlatry.
The spirit which characterized tine DE-
