parts of the city. The first is connected
with the Scotch Presbyterian Church,
Mercer street, the Rev. David Mitchell
pastor. and is known as the Missionary
and Aid Society. The association is similar
in methods and purposes to branch of
the Kings Daughters. 1t interests itself
in local charities. and sends barrel OF
necessaries to Western missionaries at
regular intervals, besides doing excel
lent work as a Sunday school and
church auxiliary, and giving various en-
tertainments of an interesting order, one
of which recently filed the church par
lors. There are thirty-six active mem
bers at present. who hold regular meet
ings. For the past six years Miss Maggie

LAFAYETTE REFORMED CHURCH WORKERS.
The Kings Daughters of the Lafayette
Reformed Church made it one of their
first laws that no girl under twenty
should be eligible to membership. The
fact that married ladies were also de-
barred from membership, and that the
society then numbered some twenty-five
ladies, living within radius of five
blocks, does not speak well for the young
men of Lafayette. Within the past six
months the "twenty-year rule" has been
discontinued. and the number has been
considerably enlarged. The President is
Miss Annie Adriance, at whose residence
the monthly meetings are held. The So
ciety does the work of Home Mis-
sionary Association, and is auxiliary
to the Woman's Executive Com
mittee of Domestic Missions.
Clothing is sent 10 western MISSIONARIES.
and the society contributes largely to this
cause. Entertainments under its aus
pices are sure to be novel and interesting.
