morning after the devotional exercises
twsnty-nine out of the thirty-eight dele
gates in attendance at the WOmen'S
Foreign Missionary convention an
swered to their names, the others hav-
ing left the city temporarily to visit
friends.
In the order of business came first
the reading of reports of committees,
the one having in charge the appoint
ment of candidates for foreign mission
work being first on the list. This COM
mittee presented the names of Misses
ANNE Elliker, Mabel Allen and Alice
M. Otto, all of the Des Moines branch.
After some little discussion it was de-
cided that these young women were
fitted in every way to do the sacred
work required of them, and they will
receive the necessary training in the
Chicago missionary school.
The most important report came
next, namely, that Of the literature
committee. A resolution concerning
the death of Mrs. Harriet NJ. Warren,
who was for twenty-five years the edi-
tor of the society's missionary periodi-
cal, was as follows:
"The literature committee Is deeply
bereaved in the death Of Mrs. Harriet
NJ. Warren. Having been associated
with its work from the beginning, her
superior literary taste and judgment
were to us invaluable. We sadly miss
her as an adviser, worker and friend,
and we can only say, with chastened
hearts. the blessed will OF the Lord be
DONE"
ELECTING AN EDITOR.
The committee presented candidate
for the position of editor of the Heather
WOman's Friend and other pubica-
lions, left vacant by the death of Mrs
Warren. Before coming to any decis-
ion in the matter several points of par
liamentary law were raised, and by the
time representatives from East and
West had handed Roberts Rules of
Order around the two circles once or
twice, and many amusing things had
happened, the ladies found themselves
back at the start, and proceeded quietly
to elect Miss Louise Manning Hodg-
kins, of Boston. Miss Hodgkins is very
we'll known in literary circles, and also
as professor Of English literature in
Wellesley college for the past fifteen
years, so that she is eminently fitted
so deeply deplored by all.
The audience was favored with sa-
cred selection by Miss Antoinette
ChOate, who accompanied herself on
the guitar. Miss Choate was for some
time engaged in educational work in
South America, and is now teacher in
the kindergarten department of the
teachers training school of this city.
She has very kindly offered to favor the
ladies with some Spanish selections on
Tuesday, which Is South America day.
Mrs. E. M. Crow, of Los Angeles.
CAL, presented very interesting report
which is under the supervision Of the
California branch.
CHINA MISSIONS.
At the afternoon session Miss Keller
ing reviewed briefly the work in China,
both in an educational and missionary
way. She said that in her district there
were about 200 girls in boarding schools,
these of the better class, while the day
schools were filled principally with
girls who were taken off the streets.
She spoke of the way In which the
Chinese women had been in the habit
of COMPRISING then feet, but said those
that have been educated have given up
this vile practice. :
Mrs. Mind followed with brief re-
view of the medical work in Foo Chow,
China, where there is school for train
ing women for the practice of medi-
cine, as we'll as one for missionaries.
Here, as we'll as in Pekin, there is also
training school for young men, where
they are fitted to hold responsible posi-
lions under the government.
Yesterday being Philadelphia day,
Mrs. Bishop Foss conducted the I'M
pressive devotional exercises, which
ended the afternoon session.
