Mrs Weber of Sunbuiy, treasurer.


Miss Kate Hummel of Northum.
berland, read a paper on GLOW can
we perpetuate our organization and its
work2", followed by Mrs. Kistner OF
Hazleton on the same subject. To
perpetuate our work we must make
our society meetings interesting, we
must instill in the hearts and minds of
the children love for the work and
we must educate the young people to
the needs OF the work.
The president called on Rev. A. N.
Warner for remarks on the subject; he
said he thought the work could be
perpetuated by establishing a mission
within the bounds of our own Synod.
DR.. Anna S. Kugler, medical mis-
sionary in India, having arrived, Mrs.
]. X. Dimm formally presented to her
the, $1,000 contributed by the Susque-
hanna Synodical Society to endow
bed in the hospital to be built at
Guntur, India, Mrs. G.. P. Frymire
and Mrs. p. A. Heilman unveiling the
tablet that is to be placed beside the
bed in the hospital.
DR.. Kugler was then introduced and
gave a very interesting and encourag-
ing report of the work in India. To
give an account of her address would
occupy too much space, but no one
could hear her without feeling that
every effort that has been made to
christianize heathen India has been
more than repaid both to the mission
ary in the field and the church at
home.
About half-past four the children
came in and DR.. Kugler told them Of
her Sunday School.in India and many
other things equally interesting to the
children. She also showed the girls
dress, such as they wear in India,
made by one of the boarding-school
girls. 1t was very neatly done and
would have done credit to one of our
high school graduates.
The afternoon session was closed
by singing by the children and prayer
by Rev. Heilman.
| WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The evening session was opened by
a voluntary and an anthem by the
choir followed by devotional exercises.
Mrs. f. H. Jenkins, of Bloomsburg,
gave a Bible Reading on prayer. 1t
was very well prepared and showed
clearly that it is our duty to pray /;
that in prayer we should give thanks
as well as make petitions that we
must pray often that if we would
have our prayers answered, We must
comply with the conditions as set
forth in the Bible, that is, we must
pray in faith we must make our lives
conform to our prayers, we must pray
in sincerity and we must pray in
Christs name.
Mrs. Dimn, delegate Of the Syno-
dical Society to the General Conven-
tion at Omaha, Neb., June 22-26,
1893, then gave report of the con-
vention which was full of interest and
contained many suggestions in regard
to the work.
A number Of the children and young
people of the Sunday School then
rendered an allegory. "Crowning the
Sunday School Angel" This allegory
set forth the fact that while order, lit
erature, music and love are all impor-
tant the Bible is the essential factor in
the Sunday School, before which all
other factors must bow in humble sub
mission.
A reading "Put Your Heart in It,"
by Miss Ida Walters. While the col
lection was being lifted the conference
was favored with duet "I.ead Thou
Me On" by Mr.. and Mrs. David
Derr. This was followed by two reci-
tations, "Tommy's Prayer" by Miss
Lille Fahringer and 'Jamie" by Miss
Bessie Harder.
Rev. Griffith, formerly home mis-
sionary In Nebraska was called for
and was asked to tell us something of
Home Mission work in the west. He
spoke particularly regarding sending
boxes to the missionaries in
the western field and gave some very
timely suggestions on the subject.
A male quintet sang "Nearer My
Home" and Rev. Griffith pronounced
the benediction. May the intorma'
tion gained at this Conference and
the inspiration received be carried by
the delegates to their respective socie-
ties and may it be productive of a
greatly increased interest In mission
work at home and in the foreign field.
