Blanche A. Wright was in that position
Although it has been published before
it will do to repeat. There are fifteer
Mission Circles in New York, and these
will probably be doubled that before an
other years report comes in, though il
is big State and takes time to organize
1t will be done in time. and do great
things when our women learn what Q
source of power they have at hand.
CORRECTION.
Last month q notes credited Mrs. Elsie
Warren as life member to N. III. 1t
ought to be spelled out in full to give
credit where it is DUE Miss Elsie War
rem, of.Montpelier VT, has become life
member of w. G. A.
MICHIGAN.
Mrs. r. B. Taylor, President of Mich
igan auxiliary, has been obliged to re-
sign her position on account Of contin-
ued i'll health. Mrs. ]. F. Eddy of Bay,
City. has been elected to fill her place.
Rev. Olivia j. Carpenter, the State Mis-
sionary, took Mrs. Taylor's place at the
Convention at Grand Rapids, October s
8 and 10. There is good material to be
modified in Michigan and marshalled
under organization for work.
WASHINGTON, D. C, MISSION CIRCLE.
This Circle is beginning to be much
in evidence in the Capital city. The
ladies meet at IL A. M. at the residences
of some of the members. There is a
luncheon at one, and after that every
woman is busy with her needle, at work
on garments for sweet charity's sake.
At p. NJ. the religious services begin,
and the paper of the day is read and dis
cussed. Mrs. Poetry gave an admirable
paper on the October topic-"Our Mis-
sionaries at the present time. Who are
they? What are they doing and where
are they working?" The discussion that
followed indicated that our women only
need to be shown the way, when they
show as much interest in these subjects
as those who have been at it longer. The
National Secretary suggested that all of
the Mission Circle papers be preserved
and filed away until they can be type
written or preserved in some permanent
fashion, as the Ladies' Historical Soci-
ETY. do their papers. Next month that
entertainment will materialize, which
was first set down for this.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
This State had fine Woman's Annual
Meeting, but the editors are getting to
be SO much in evidence at our meetings,
they publish all about them before it
comes to US, which is the reason there
is SO little news left for the Secretary.
But one thing ye editors did leave for
her. for which she is grateful, as it is a
great big plumb all by itself. The new
Treasurer of NH, Miss J.GraceAlexan-
der, is one of the advanced women, being
the Treasurer of the Security Savings
Bank of Winchester. N H., and she
writes big round hand which can be
read the first time trying.
KANSAS.
In Kansas City we have little church
which is making gallant fight for life
and the W. G. A. has made small pledge
to help. Now we just wish some of the
brethren, who have been telling us so
long,-if we would concentrate on the
West there would be plenty of helpers.
Now is the day of opportunity, and do
nations of fives and tens-dollars-
nearly left that out-will just help us
out on the Kansas pledge We are wait
ing to hear from you.
THE PRESIDENT.
Mrs. G. A. Quinby and several of our
working women, attended the annual
meeting of the U. W. M. S., Of Massa-
chusetts as onlookers. We wonder when
the compliment will be returned. One
cannot know too much of what the
branches of the church are doing. Since
that time, Mrs. Quipby has been in Bos
ton trying to catch up with her CORES
pondence. and get rested after her hard
work in the summer. The meeting Of
the General Convention over. she will
take to the field as an organizer again
