 sions-Addresses by Mrs. Clark,

 and Mrs. Hume.
 The regular monthly meeting of the New Haven branch, Woman's Board of Foreign Missions, was held in the United church chapel yesterday afternoon and was very largely attended. The meeting is. usually held in the Center church chapel. but on account of the invitation which had been extended to all the Y. P. s. O. E. of the city to. hear Mrs. Clark, the wife of "Father Endeavor" Clark, the famous founder of the Y. P. 8. 0. E., it was thought feasible to hold 1t in larger building. These meetings, which have al- ways been held monthly, will be held bi- monthly hereafter. The president, Mrs. s. E. Daggett, presided at the meeting. Mrs. Clark was the first speaker. She, with Dr. Clark, has been making tour around the world and has just arrived home. All the missions, especially those l in which the New Haven branch is inter ested, were visited by them in order to gain what knowledge they might concern l ing the work of the Y. P. 8. 0. E. in all parts of the world and the efforts which are being made to extend the society. Mrs. Clark is most entertaining and in- teresting in her manner and is most pleasing speaker to listen to. She gave a which they visited. In speaking of Japan she especially noted the ladylike demeanor | and intelligent faces of the Japanese girls. She also drew e graphic picture of Hong ! Kong and Canton, China, and spoke of the large and Aourishing city of Msdura on the east coast of India. This city Is the center ! of hourishing mission work. In Ceylon ! the children are especially interesting, Bombay, Ahmednuggar and Turkey wers other points which they visited and te
 whish they often alluded.
 In Turkey there is great discomfort ir travel The roads are miserable and the oonveyances rude. She said that they made the journey over the Taurus noun 1 tsins in 8 wagon gent out from America living in 1t entirely.
 The work among the Turks themselves is thankless task. The principle con
 verts among them are the Armenians. Ye l the good work goes on. The schools are
 all closely inspected by the agent of th'
 government, and large number of young ! men and women taken out of them He
