If you went to q convention OF women,
and found that the proposed doing in
one day more than men had been able
to do in two days, you conclude that
there was going to be bewildering
hurry, or else the skipping of general
parts OF the programme. But if you
had been at the meeting of Congrega
tional Missionary society women in st.
Anthony Park church yesterday, you
would have seer them do every one of
the almost innumerable things that had
set down 10 be done, and that with I'M
broken compOsure. The reason mainly
was because there were no doctors of
divinity or rafting cranks to make a
long speech every ten minutes
These women are officers and repre-
Sentatives of the Minnesota branch of
the WOman'S Board OF Missions in the
Anoka conference. 1t aims to have or
ganization in every church, which shall
hold its regular meetings to read mis-
sonary literature and plan 10 raise mis-
SOnary money. 1t seems to have one in
every church of the denomination in
Minneapolis, in several of the"country"
churches, and seven of the eight
churches in st. Paul. The time seems
to be near when a Congregational
church may be all right, with creed
all wrong, but woe Will be to it if it
hasn't missionary society. A special
design Of the WOmans' societies is TO get
the young people interested in mission
airy work by getting them to contribute
TO particular objects through the Sun
day school or the Y. p. S. G. E., or
hand. And therein is Woman's tact
shown.
The forenoon yesterday was given
to special business ana foreign mis-
SlOnS. After conference, made of those
short and direct talks of which women
land not mem are capable, it was de-
cIded not to favor change in regard to
the time Of the annual state meeting. SO
it will still come, if the matter is left
TO the women of this conference TO de-
eide, when and where the state associa-
ton does meet. Men would have de
bated on the question, the women con-
ferr1d.
The secretary and treasurer both
gave encouraging reports. The latter
was able to report that So 700 have been
raised in the state since Sept. 6, an in
crease of 1928 over the same period last
year. 4 paper by Mrs. Arthur Smith,
Their Own Land" was read, then
STORY OF Two Mites" by Mrs. Il. A.
Bristol, and a sketch OF Miss Hewitt"
WHO went to China from Lake City last
fall, written by her sister, Mrs. War
rem; aud six letters from missionaries
were read. The prayers made in the
devotional half hour that closed the
morning session did not thank the
Lord that CoDgregationalists could fight
without ssetting had
as Dr.. Eeath's prayer did yesterday
after that contest about changing the
constitution of the conference. The
women were happy to know that the
Lord hadn't seen them fighting.
he afternoon was given to home mis-
si0nS. First, Miss Ada White reported
how the Minneapolis churches, or rather
the WUne. in them, were sustaining
their branches; Mrs. W. S. Alexander,
how the st. Paul churches were treat
ing theirs, and Mrs. Fiagg spoke for the
churches in the regions boyond.o This
missionary zeal, so beautiful and in
spring, is perYadng the churches more
and mere.
4 paper by Mrs. Business on sour
Homeland" was as good q picture of the
American Home Missionary society as
was ever drawn. Mrs. J. A. Chandler
great work Of the New West Educa-
tional commission; Mrs. j. B. Drew
sketched well the usefulness of
the American Congregational union;
papers by Mrs. A. Il. Pierson and Miss
Mabel Gilbert showed the desirability
and the ways Of interesting the children
in missionary giving: Mrs. r. p Der
rick unfolded the growth and useful
ness of the Sunday school and publica-
ton society: and Mrs. II. l.. Chase
made every one feel that the college and
educational society must be cared for
most literally. The American Mission
airy association was spoken for Wednes-
day evening. SO all the seven benev-
client societies" won increased interest
and love at this convention. st. Paul
Plymouth church, through its young
people, is making women institute its
special beneficiary, and Miss Anna NJ.
McCammon gave interesting informa-
ton regarding it.
Some one has beautifully said.
'W0man was last at the cross and first
at the tomb Of Christ" When the world
shall have been brought to Christ the
angels may say woman did it.
