Everyone is invited, whether members

is clipping from the Worcester Tele- |
gram, dated Oct 81, 1900:
Today the 31st annual session of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Methodist Epis- !
copal women's foreign missionary society |
will close its eight-day conference in Trim |
ity church, after one of the most remark
able series of meetings ever recorded.
Not only has the convention been en- |
phasized by daily program of good re-
ports from widely scattered mission fields |
in almost every country on the globe, but |
this year the organization has had the |
good fortune to have present at nearly |
every meeting nearly 60 missionaries from
many Methodist missions. Some of them |
were home on furlough or sick leave. but |
others were in America because their |
work in China and Japan had been ham,
pered and INSTRUCTED by the recent trou-
bles which extended over these two coun-
tries.
AS to the joy of the members and dele
gates and great numbers of visitors from
all over the United States who have at
tended the conference, every missionary,
with hardly an exception, has had an OPP
portunity to relate personal experiences
and opinions on the work accomplished.
This feature OF the convention, more than
anything else, has contributed to the
good work of the conference, and the ex-
ecutive committee finds itself placing on
the closing page OF 1900 q completion of
the grandest years work ever accom-
plished in the history of the Women's
foreign missionary society.
The District meeting Of the Re-
bekahs, which was held Wednesday
evening in Odd Fellows Hall, was one
of exceeding interest. The meeting
was opened with the grand officers in
the chairs, and a short entertainment
was gwen. The violin solo by Mr..
Moore was much appreciated, and the
reading. entitled Them Still, Stub
born Kind" by Miss Edith Bruce
Jones, was enthusiastically received l
and will long be remembered by all {
present. The officers of Naomi Lodge
then took their places and initiated {
nine candidates. A banquet was served
at the conclusion of the work. Assem- t
bly, President Mrs. d. B. Sanders of {
Grand Marshal Mrs. Ha- {
zen of Windsor and Deputy President
Mrs. Emerson of Thetford were pres I
ent. About one hundred members,
seven surrounding lodges, {
were in attendance. From this meet !
ing all went with added interest in /
and zeal for the work.
