The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1892-11-10
A SUCCESSFUL OPENING.

The Seventh district convention of the
! Churches of Christ opened its sessions at
p. N. at the Central Church of Christ. "A
goodly number of delegates were present
and after opening exercises and an address
OF welcome by Mrs. Rev. Sims, q very in
teresting and enthusiastic devotional SER
vice was led by Mrs. Rev. Mnnroe. Re-
| ports Of district auxllaries were then
made and proved very encouraging. The
question box was lso an interesting fea-
ture. clearing up many disputed points.
| A brief business session closed the after
| noon session.
Evening session opened with the singing
of ITO the Work." after which an inspir-
ing devotional service was conducted by
sister Lolita of Wellington.
At the close of the devotional exercises
H. w. Everest, who needs no Introduction
to the propie of Wichita, delivered a
thoughtful and very helpful address on
1.-The Pastors Duty Toward the Auxili-
| ary," taking for u foundation the words of
Paul, Help those women giving some
reasons why this help should be rendered.
The women have taught US. together with
the \. p. S. E. that each in his own sphere
as follower Of Christ should preach.
Again the c. w. B. NJ has taught us the
power Of regular, systematic giving of
small sums
Transformations giving has also been
given prominence by the c. ". B. NJ,
like the widows mite, yet given in
Christ's spirit and in the aggregate of
great value.
Prayersul giving sanctifed by prayer
nOl Id l., a1c
tied to the c. w. B. NJ.
Training each other in praying and liter
airy work was also deemed a work of i'm
portance accomplished by the ladies.
Then the reaction of this work on the
family and home church was discussed,
Help them by commencing their work,
by occasional sermons. By commentator
aid them to gain membership for the c.
w. B. NJ.
Help them to run themselves, not try to
run it all himself, but rather BY letting
them alone except in paying.
We can give no full report Of this adj
dress, but it was full of good things and
closed with tender illusions to his COM
panion, lately deceased.
A well rendered solo was then given by
Mrs. Walden, which was well received.
Mrs. Moses of Topeka, the state organ
izer of the G. w. B. NJ. then delivered
feeling and we'll thought address the force
of which words cannot well portray.
Suffice it to say that all who failed to hear
it missed treat.
