One Of the Christian lessons the world most
needs TO learn is the truth that il can find
wisdom in babes and suckllngs" Possibly
the noblest lesson that childhood has to teach

will be led by DR.. Joshua Stansfield. Mrs
Alice Fleming Evans will sing. 1t will be
a meeting of unusual interest and all wom-
en- are very cordially invited.
Rev. J. w. Parker. of the First Presbv-
terrain Church. has been giving a series
of talks at the Friday noon meetings A
large number of young women have availed
themselves of the privilege of hearing Mr.
Parker. and there have been many express
sions in regard TO the helpfulness of the
services.
The past month marked the beginning of
regular visits to two places where large
numbers of young women are employed.
Noon meetings are held at the cotton mills
on Monday and at the Lewis Meier & Co
factory on Thursday A cordial receDtion
has been given at both places The sery-
ice usually consists largely of music
on Tuesday evening. May 6. will be given
the concert OF the choral class. which
closes its seasons work. Under the di-
rection of Miss Josephine Robinson this
class has made splendid progress and will
present an excellent programme They will
be assisted by Miss JOspehine Hyde An
admission fee of 10 cents will he charged al
the door and the proceeds will be used to-
ward musical library for the associat ton
The gymnasium department of the asso-
citation has never been so successful as
during the past year. Miss Julia Eliza IN
Fisher, who came last September. a grad
uate Of the Boston Normal School of GYM
nastics. and for two years physical direc-
tor OF the Detroit association. has proved
herself thoroughly competent instructor.
and under her direction the work has more
than prOspered. About four hundred have
been enrolled in the various classes during
the year. Instead of the exhibition which
has usually been given al the close of the
season. beginning next week and contin-
Uing for about ten days. each class will
have a visitors day" No admission fee
