The women of the Cumberland

the fourth annual session Friday
afternoon at the Presbyterian church.
The meeting Was opened by Mrs, F.
M. Roberts of Harper. A spiritual
and impressive devotional service was
conducted by Miss Mamie Bybee of
Wellington. Her subject, Workers
With GOd," prepared all hearts to en-.
ter heartily into the work of the
afternoon.
The report of the presbyterial sec.
rotary showed how faithfully the
work of her Office had been carried
on. The report of the May field auxil.
larry deserves special mention. 1t
showed how much womln can do for
this work when her heart is en-
listed.
The women Of the Cumberland
Presbyterian church are doing foreign
missionary work in Japan, China and
Mexico; also home work among the
Chinese of San Francisco. The Syn
Odical vice president was present and
told of the miserable condition of
these people. 1t was cheering news
to learn that the women Of this church
are rallying and doing something to
lift them to a higher plane of living.
