occupies sixth place in numerical strength
among the commonwealths OF tho United
States. The membership in Missouri now
is 5,794.
One Of the most gratifying facts to the

Missouri is the only one that shows net
gain in membership for September. all the
others having lost rather than gained
ground in this particular excepting In
diana, which neither lost nor gained.
The officers OF the society in Missouri
