iIiary Yesterday.
THE INCREASED GIFTS
Miss Mary E. Horner, the Secretary,
Tenders Her Resignation Amid Re-
gret. Addresses by DR.. Lloyd
and ArCh-DeaCon Hugh
son.

SO1. ~-~.
The oman's Auxiliary to the Board
of Missons of the Episcopal Church.
held two splendid sessions yesterday
part of the time in Christ Church and
part of the time in the Church of the
Good Shepherd. A very large num-
ber of delegates was present besides
many visitors, and great enthusiasm
and interest prevailed throughout, and
the most perfect harmony There
were two addresses at the morning
session, one by Rev. DR.. Arthur S.
Lloyd, of New York, Secretary of the
General Board of Missions, and the
other by Archdeacon Walter Fl. Hugh
son, of Morganton.
The service at $50 o'clock at Christ
church was conducted by Archdeacon
Joyner.
After singing a hymn Bishop Ches-
hire introduced DIR. Lloyd, of New
ork His address was as usual of
great strength and interest He spoke
of the need of gifts, but the greater
necessity of prayerful giving. Since
the adoption of the apportionment
plan the expenses of the church have
been less, but there is still need for
SNCIy dNdlldUIG uOIldT ana Qlme. He
said that the church abroad had
grown more rapidly than the church
at home, and that people who did not
want to give to foreign missions sent
their money to Cuba, the Philippines
and Alaska and called it domestic
missions and that he believed that
Gous doing. There is no place on
earth where people hear Gods word
against their will.
The only cry that comes back to us
is one for more help.
After DR.. Lloyds address Miss Mary
E. Horner, of Oxford, read fine re-
port as general secretary of the Wo-
mans Auxiliary in the Diocese of
North Carolina.
Miss Horner's report showed that
the membership had not grown in
numbers, but this may be due to care
lessness in numbering. The gifts in
money, however, amount to $168.52
more than in any previous year, the
total being $2,217.11.
A systematic course of study has
been pursued, for the purpose of gain
ing acquaintance with the progress Cf
the Kingdom, in order that the money
may be expended most wisely Spir-
itual growth has been marked by tha
observance of intercessory days and a
quiet day. The Triennial Service in
Boston next fall was referred to with
especial emphasis. The United Offer
| ing treasury holds at present $505.56,
ess the interest and the $S3.75 from
| the Junior department, which are to
| be added. The share in the offering
of 1901 was $774.96. In concluding
| her report Miss Horner rendered her
resignation as Diocesan Secretary to
which she was appointed by the Bish-
| op in 1896.
