AFTERNOON SESSION.
The ladies' Of the church had provided
a bounteous lunch for the delegates in
the lecture room OF the church below,
and at 1870 they assembled in the
audience room. Mrs. Rev. Miller, pres
ldent pro tenn, presided at the dcyo-
tlonal meeting also. The first business
for the afternoon was the discussion Of
the question, "Why ARE not more
women interested in missionary work? -
The subject was opened with a talk BY
Mrs. RornblaScr. She attributed the
want OF love Tor the work to a lack OF
knowledge. We will mo- be deeply in
tercsted in q matter abou: which we
are comparatively ignorant. The first
step is TO speak OF the work. Speak
personally; speak publicly, and dilSom-
mate the necessary knowledge in every
possible way. Then with prayer and
earnGstncss on orr part success is as
surcd. Mrs. Rev. Starks, ex-prcsidcnt;
Miss Wilson and Miss Allie Budke fol-
lowed with truly fitting remarks.
Mrs. DR.. D. 4. Cunningham, OF this
city, was introduced by the pastor.
Mrs. Cunningham came forward and
delighted the convention with an earn
est and appropriate talk. She spoke OF
the workings OF the Presbyterian So
cieticS and gave touching illustrations
OF devotion and self-dcniaI among their
noble workers. She was listened 10
with pleasure by all.
The soul-stirring hymn, "All hail the
power Of Jesus name" was sung, after
which the question box wa opened and
some very interesting questions were
answered.
This was followed by n chi!dren's
meeting, led by Miss Annie Meyer.
The Rowe band, 4 children'sb band, com
posed OF perhaps forty children, came
in and occupied the choir platform.
After singing two bright songs they
were led in prayerbyMrs DR.. Cunning
ham. She prayed for the conservation
OF these little ones; that some one OF
them might 20 to carry tho blessed COS
pei TO the beniyhted. Then followed q
recitation called "a little boys sermon"
by Bright Dornblascr, i little boy about
eight years old.
Miss Eegcrs, Il visitor from Allegheny,
gave a sparkling talk to the children,
which was greatly enjoyed.
This was followed by the discussion
OF the subject, Helpful hints for band
workers." Mrs. Dornblascr suggested
the importance OF selecting the most
earnest worker OF the church for q
leade. OF the children's band. The fol-
ly OF appointing an inefficient leader as
Il compliment to the leader was shown.
Res. a. j. Trey, pastor OF the First Bapt-
ist church, was welcomed, and called
upon for useful hints, but declined, pre-
ferring to listen.
The question. shall we admit boys in
to our mission bands? was answered by
Miss Jean Eggcrs. Certainly, she said,
We must have the boys. II we do not
secure the little boys we will not have
the men. After remarks by Rev. Mr..
Trey, the beautiful hymn, "lIow Sweet
the Name OF Jesus Sounds" was sung
and the benedic,ion was pronounced BY
the pastor.
TnE EVENING.
Twilight hour OF rest, IRON 5 to G,
was beautifully observed. Mrs. NJ. E.
Culp conducted the service, and the
singing WAS touchingly sweet and soft,
as became the hour. Sweet Hour OF
Prayer and God be with You till We
Meet Again" were sung. An appro-
priato scripture service was engaged in
by all. This service was interrupted
with two solos, one by Miss Never, the
other by Mr.. Clemens. Nj. Clemens's
solo, Tossed on the Billows," was well
rendered. He has n sweet voice, which
he knows how to use. and lie plcGscs
whenever he iayors an audience. Many
remained ut the church to lunch, while
those who preferred returned to their
boarding places. The lovely service
was closed with silent prayer for q few
moments, followed by sentence prayers
from many others.
The evening service was opened BY
singing the familiar hymn, "Watchman,
Ictell us oil the night" Rev. Mr.. Miller
led in prayer, when GLORIOUS things OF
Thee are spoken" was sung. Then
came q recitation, entitled Goods
Ways" by Miss Matte Shields. This
was executed in n very creditable man
ncr, and though long, was attentiyely
listened to throughout. Next came a
solo called Jerusalem" by Miss Nellie
Cutler. 1t was o piece requiring con-
siderable culture to render properly, and
was nicely rendered. Miss Annie Kerr
