lie that hath the Son hath life. and
he that nath not the Son hath not lifs."
First Epistle Of John, 9th chapter; 10,
20, II and 12 verses.
The reverend gentleman started
from the little room in Jerusalem
where the disciples were assembled
and from whence they went out to
christianize the world, waiting, how
ever, for the Holy Spirit that all sell
tishness should DO swallows up.
He showed how rapidly the church
spread under such circumstances. Even
kings and eInperors came down from
their thrones to acknowledge the au-
| thOrity of Christ on the earth.
The speaker then passed on to the
stormy cru of theological disputation,
OF dissent and disintegration, when
the power OF the spirit had departed.
and the wooden cross was no longer
considered us the emblem of the pow
er Of God Then followed the dark
ages covering the earth as with pail
OF death, broken only by the fires of
the reformation. Then MIR. kinsolying
came down to the present era with tho
great Catholic Church awakening
when an anti-mission church was not
the church of tho living God.
The Church he said. was getting
buck from the selfish satisfaction of q
personal salvation with this Auxiliary
Mission Association OF the women OF
the Church touching her at every
altar and upon 1t sanctifying gifts ale
setting her atlame with zeal for mis-
sionary work.
The eloquent and impressive ser.
mon was followed by tho administers
ton OF the Holy Communion by Mr.
KinsolYing, after which Miss Sybii
Carter an agent for the General Board
of Missions made an interesting adj
dress upon the growth and need OF
missionary work. The congregation
then adjourned for luncheon, which
was served IN the chapel of the church,
The womens meeting convened at
l.3O p. m, and occupied the afternoon
until o'clock. Reports showed the
collection and disbursement of So, 900
during the year.
An election of officers was held
which resulted as follows; Mrs Il. G.
Littell, president; Miss Emily Rodney,
yice-president; Mrs. William Q. Lodge,
OF Claymont, Del, treasurer, and
secretary; Mrs. G. L. Murray, domestic
direetress, and Mis-. $. NJ. Curtis, Of
Newark foreign directress.
| Miss Sybil Carter made another prac-
teal address in the afternoon, in which
she gave considerable of her expert
ence in mission work. She displayed
some samples OF lace made by Indian
women in the Northwest which were
mary vols Of neatncss and beauty. She
said that the experiment to interest
those women III work had produced q
change In their personal habits which
no amount Of giving had been able to
achieve. The women mt our mission
made during last year $500 worth of
lace, all OF which has been sold as fast
as made.
Bishop Coleman made an interest
ing address, which closed the meeting.
In his address he lnstanced one young
woman at Middletown who had gath
cred together Il class OF ten or twelve
colored children, and another one who
lived near Dover. who had recently
died. had willed her savings to tho
Sunday school of Christ Church, Dover.
Thus the bishop said, it is not nGGes-
sury to go TO remote lands, or to dis
tant places in this country for inspir-
ing incidents Of devotion TO the cause
OF missions.
The association adjourned 20 meet
at Dover, October, 1892.
