Its most devoted friends.

PERSONAL.
Mrs M. M. Dean and Mrs. M. Louise
Thomas we're prevented from being pres
emit at the mid year meeting by personal
illness.
Mrs. M. E. Swan, elective member
of the Executive Board, of Chicago. has
recently returned from an extensive
European trip.
Mrs. Alice r. Wright's address be
fore the General Convention on Thurs
day evening subject "Our Women
Workers, was most eloquent, uplift-
ing and enthusiastic presentation of
woman's past, present and future work
in the Church, more particularly through
the w. G.. A.
The members of the Board were
pleased to meet so many of the ablest of
our women workers in Meriden attend
ing the General Convention, notably,
Mrs. Perkins the pastors wife (St. PauPs
church), Mrs. L. M. Smiley of New
Hampshire, Rev. Florence E. Kollock.
Rev. Blanche A. Wright, Rev. Lolita d.
Crosley and others.
THE PACIFIC COAST.
The Pacific Coast Missionary was one
thousand miles away from the field of
his labors last month, and still he is not
out of his prescribed territory. Our
Missionary, Rev. Asa M. Bradley, is look
ing over the field, and he thinks Oregon
is full of promise for the future, if the
loyal friends there can have little help.
Too much praise cannot be given to Rev.
E. A. McAllister, who has served the
little church in Eugene for several years
absolutely without money and without
price. And this 10 addition to the cares
incident to practice as a physician,
and large family whom he is giving a
higher education.
Mrs. McAllister was formerly our
Vice President in Oregon and she, too,
gave great deal of time to the work in
spite of family cares. In other words,
Oregon is indebted to the work of these,
and other self sacrificing people, for
what it has of the true Faith.
PRESIDENT OF THE OREGON W. c. A.
Mrs. j. w. Jones,of Mount Tabor Ore
gon, has accepted the position rendered
to her by the Executive Board. And
she would like isolated Universalist wo-
men to write to her, that she may tell
them how to catch on to the movements
Of the day. even though they are a
thousand miles from headquarters.
There is good and easy way, and she is
prepared with the documents, and au-
thority to go ahead. Therefore. cheer
up good sisters.
The Pacific Coast needs the sinews OF
war, which means paid up pledges, to
carry on the work, and new ones to keep
it going. Having begun, the W. G. A
cannot look back but forward, and it is
literally in the hands of its friends,-
friends in whom it has every confidence
They are going to see it through.
THE NEW YORK ANNUAL MEETING.
The Woman's Missionary Society of
the Empire State had fine meeting in
spite Of the fact they we're limited to one
hours time. But they are wiser lot of
women than they were before, for they
have made the discovery that one hour
for a public and business meeting com.
biDed, is just no time at all for business.
