NOTES FOR APRIL.

The opening of the spring reminds US
of our duty and the opportunity to re-
sumo active work in behalf of our Asso-
ISOLATION, and this brings us to the plans
Of our President.
WHEN SHE LEAVES HOME AND WHERE
SHE GOES FIRST.
Mrs. G. A. Quinby will leave Leaven-
worth, Kan, April II, and travel East,
her first objective point being Auburn,
N. Y, where she will spend Easter Sun
day with those good missionary workers,
Rev. and Mre. Ora M. Hilton. On Monday
she will leave for Athens. Penn, where
she will assist Rev. r. I. Polk and Rev.
Miss Kipgsbury in a series of Easter
meetings.
Mrs. Quinby will visit Towanda, Read
ing, Sheshequin and other parishes in
Pennsylvania to inaugurate or help on
mission work where already organized.
AS the annual meeting of the national
society is to be held in Philadelphia this
year it is especially desired that the
Pennsylvania parishes should be we'll
represented on that occasion through
their organizations.
THE ANNUAL MEETING.
The date for this important gathering
has been set down for Wednesday and
Thursday, May 10th and Goth. in the
Church of the Messiah, Philadelphia.
Both days will be given up to work and
speaking, and on each evening there will
be services in the church. No pains will
be spared to make this meeting both
practical and interesting from start to
finish on the part of the Executive
Board, and Drs. Sweetzer and Bisbee
have each written helpful words from
their parishes, and Of personal interest,
so it is bound to be such a gathering as
ought to attract large attendance of
women from every State where we have
an organization.
A CORDIAL INVITATION TO INDEPEND-
ENT STATE SOCIETIES.
Presidents and Secretaries of all State
Universalist Missionary Societies not
auxiliary to the Association are most
cordially invited to send Fraternal Dele
gates to the annual meeting of the Ma
tional w. G. A. on May 10 and 20. 1t
is the earnest desire of the Executive
Board that this be not construed as a
mere empty compliment. The National
organization should embrace all the
States and by sending delegates the way
may be opened to that end sooner than
il the representative women of the
church never met in council.
AN EASTER OFFERING.
Yes. Why not? There never was
time when this Association was more in
need OF remembrances from its friends:
Our President has been impressed that
this is the time and place to call for it,
She says: 1.-THE Association needs five
hundred dollars now to contribute to
the support of the missionary on the
Pacific Coast. This society has pledged
itself to aid the General Convention one

prises, and we have not the money in
the Treasury. In spite of most rigid
economy of expenditures. and appeals
to,the public, 1--we find ourselves unable to
meet obligations when due. and this
hampers and embarrasses the work.
The Executive Board take this oppor-
tunity to ask our women when making
up their Easter offering for church
work to remember the Association. Let
every woman as God has blessed her set
apart sum for mission work. be it larg-
or or smaller. 1t will be most gratefully
received and promptly applied to meet
the demands due.
Do not hesitate or delay, or waver be-
cause you can only give small amount.
Many small contributions will make
much, and this is Gods call and your OPP
portnnity to do good deed that will
bear rich fruit. Send all such contribu-
tions to the Corresponding Secretary,
Mrs. E. L. Sherwood, P. o. Box SO, Ana
