Now life is evidenced by an additiona
cradle roll and by five new mission cir

group of boys who were inclined to re-

been formed and mission circle of thre
years standing has become an auxiliary.
In contrast with these just commencing
their history are many that are now Gel

Armenian teacher in the Marsovan
boarding school, has been in the care of
one society more than twenty-five years,

their generous annual contribution for
her support in her faithful labors. Miss

ways of self-denial in order to enlarge
their gifts. One auxiliary reports a bet

have been. A series of meetings at the
homes of the members, where tea is
served and where each gives ten cents,
has consplred to increase the attendance
and the treasury. Another mentions
the purchase and use of set of maps as
having added greatly to the interest of
the meetings and to the interest in mis-

smaller auxiliaries the loss by death of a
valued member is deeply felt. She had
long been the treasurer and had been
accustomed like some other treasurers,
to make up deficits from her better
filled purse. The storms of a winter un-
usually severe have interrupted the reg

It is believed that the greatest success
has come to those societies that have put
careful work into the preparation of the
for each meeting. Union
meetings of auliliaries in adjoining
towns or places near each other have
proved enjoyable and helpful, enlisting
the interest Of some societies that hold
no meetings of their own. Many socie-
ties bear testimony to the inspiration of
Miss kyle's presence and addresses, and
also are grateful to the missionary /
friends, Mrs Crawford, Mrs. Knapp,
Miss Griswold and others who have Wis
