State Missionary Board Meetings.

State Missionary Board Meetings.
The twenty fourth annual meeting Of the
Michigan Branch OF the Women's Board Of
Missions of the Interior and the sixteenth
annual meeting of the Woman's Home Mis-
slOnary Union of the Congregational church
es of Michigan, are to be held in the Con-
gregational church, this city, next week, be-
ginning Tuesday morning and closing FRI
day morning. The indications are that a
large number of ladies will be present from
all parts of the state. We trust that the
homes of the city will be thrown open to the
delegates and that Owosso's well established
reputation for genuine hospitality will be
maintained.
The program shows tnat a great treat is
in store for all who can attend the sessions,
and an invitation is extended to everyone
to be present.
