Woman's Club.

The Woman's Club met with Mrs.
Doughty wednesday, Nov. 12. Mrs.
Barnes as leader, made the afternoon
delightful and profitable with her
subject "China." An interesting
history of this great empire was Civ
en-. The Chinese have always been
an exclusive people, and their great
reverence for antiquity has made
them averse to Innovations. But
wonderful changes are being effected
gradually among this people, fore
most of which is the establishment
Of modern colleges by command OF
the Empress. Missionaries are con-
stantly called upon by the literati
for help and instruction, and re-
quests for the organization Of Young
Mems Christian Associations come
from many centers. Surely there is
bright, as well as dark side to this
great Empire.
Mrs. Markham gave the literature
Of China. Mrs. Jones told of the
great encyclopedia of 22877 books.
Mrs. Dickinson read an interesting
letter from sister missionary. An
instructive meeting was enjoyed.
