Mrs. Coan, who read the report,
voiced the sentiment presented by the
president regarding the need for the
Womans Board to take up foreign
missionary work. Such work, said
Mrs. Coan, enlarges the heart. 1t was
a glorious thing to look beyond our
own geographical confines. True.
there are heather among US and with
US who need mission work, but else
where in so many places there was no
light of the gospel being shed upon
benighted and ignorant peoples, and a
glorious opportunity awaited the
Board.
