with a pen weighted with sorrow be- cause the long and able work of our much beloved secretary is finished. There was no vision of horses and char iots of fire when her soul ascended. as is told of the prophet of old, but the sight. love-clarified of her associates in the branch to whom she was more than a prophet, seemed to see--' ' Angels of Jesus, Angels of light, Singing to welcome the pilgrim of the
 night
 And the work-her work-is taken up as at her bidding"
 She then reviewed ill a comprehensive way the work of eleven missionaries, seven assistants, forty Bible women, four womens hospitals and educational work as carried on in nine girls board ing schools, twelve day schools, six kin dergartens and several orphanges. This survey showed that success had follow ed the labors of the year and that the outlook was most hopeful.
 In the memorial service to Mrs. Hume there were many tributes to the devotion, the zeal, the power of this honored officer of the branch and the last of its charter members. Miss Hinsdale, of Winsted, led the service. A sketch of Dr. Rose Bower was giv- en by Miss Mary E. Weld, of New Ha- ven.
 The brief address of Miss Norton, of Salisbury, under appointment by the board to the Eastern Turkey mission was delightful addition to the morn- ing programme. She is to have charge of the kindergarten in Van. Miss Stanwood represented the exec utive committee of the Woman's Board and presented some of the latest phases of practical subjects in her usual happy manner. 1 Miss Julia Bissell, M. D., of Ahmed nagar, India. was the missionary speak CT, and to the interest of her address l was added a great personal charm. She spoke of the number of patients treated at the dispensary during the year. more than forty thousand of the methods of her work; of the compensa- tions for hard work in the gratitude of those helped and restored; of ways in which caste was overcome, and of op- portunities for Christian teaching. She rehearsed the difficulties in obtaining | just the right site for the new hospital, 1 but after patient, or impatient, waiting l the site most desirable was given by l the British government within the mil l itary line. The hospital will be com- pleted and ready for occupancy by Dr.. i Ruth Hume and the nurse who goes from this country with her next fall. | The following are the officers elected for the ensuing year: President. .f
