cussion. participated IN by many who
claimed to be old in years. but young in
heart. Many seemed to be much inter-
essed in this part of church work so much
so that this discussion was the most inter-
esting Of any coming before the associa-
ton.
The rule Of order in regard to admitting
churches to the association after having
been recognized by council formed of del
egates invited from the churches in the

coma, bore witness and said: Pastors
had no such efficient helpers as the ladies
Of his church." He paid the women of
the churches high tribute as to their
ability and usefulness in the church. Rev.
