SECOND DAYS SESSIONS

A report of the invaluable work be- ing done by the Scarritt Bible and Training School of Kansas City. was the feature of the meetings yester- day of the women's Board of Home Missions in its second days session at the Court Street Methodist Church.
 Miss Mabel Howell, an earnest and consecrated young woman, who is de- voting her life to the rescue of the falle clements of humanity. explained the sociological workings of the school and Miss M. l.. Gibson told of its history, Its work, and its future.
 The remarks of Miss Howell were peculiarly impressive. She is young woman with a characteristic feminine voice and modest appearance. When she told with embelishment or brava- do of the work done by her associates and herself in the slums, saloons, dance halls, police stations and police courts, there were those in the audience, who had hardly heard of the Scarritt Train ing School but who will evermore re- tain a lasting respect and veneration for the work of these women.
 The Scarritt School is one of the many institutions largely supported by the woman's Home Mission Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, that is doing a noble work. There are the same sort of brave women, teach- ing the moonshining mountaineers of Kentucky the lessons of man and of God. The same sort of people are mix ing with the Italian and Spanish sail DTS and emigrants in Key West and Tampa. They are helping the poor whites of the mountain countries and they are not neglecting the black men.
 To Confirm Deconesses Today.
 Today, Montgomerions will have for the first time opportunity of seeing women confirmed as deaconesses of the Methodist Church. There are not a score of deaconesses in the entire Southern Methodist Church. In fact the order has just reached It's third year. The deaconesses of the Metho- dist Church devote their lives to help. ing the fallen, nursing the sick and spreading the gospel.
 Three consecrated women will be confirmed at the Il o'clock service this morning at the Court Street Church They are Mrs. Mary Marian Ivey. of Franklin, Tex. Miss Mabel Kennedy, of St. Louis, Mo, and Mrs. Mary N. Carr. of Birmingham.
 The confirmation will take place after the annual sermon by Bishop Galloway of Jackson. Miss, one of the most distinguished and eloquent minis ters of any faith in the world.
 Dexter Avenue Methodist Church will join the Court Street Church at the morning service and the Court Street Church will join the Dexter Avenue Church at the service tonight, when Miss Belle Bennett of Richmond, Ky, the president of the Board, will deliver an address on the Woman's Home Mission Society
 At 4:30 o'clock this afternoon, the Board will be addressed at the Court

that the State should justly feel proud of him. She was politely interrupted by Mrs. L. P Smith of Texas, who said that Texas claimed MT. Murphy as her son because he was reared in that State. Miss Helm replied that Texas was so large she thought she could claim all good things.
 Mrs. MacDonell well added that so great a man belonged to the whole country.
 Miss Helm good naturedly claimed MT. Murphy for Kentucky. Taking up her subject again. Miss Helm said that she regarded ms DOCK
 The Present South" as one of the greatest essays on the subject that hao been written since the war. Tt Is the sanest, dearest, strongest presentation of the conditions main tained in the South that has been brought to the notice of the public,
 she declared. Tt was written by a Southern man from a Southern view
 point and is devoid of prejudice, passion
 or apology.
 South Needs No Apology.
 "The South," Miss Helm continued earnestly, needs no apology for itself in the past or at the present time, but it does need to explain itself to the world that the world may see how 1t
 has been misunderstood and misrepre- sented."
 Miss Helm said that Mir. Murphy's
 book gives the necessary explanation In dignifed and manly way.
 Loyal to the old South,'' she said,
 ''he finds the root of that which is best in the new and he has the cour- age of his convictions both in stating her dangers to those who have mis- understood her and her faults to her own people. He deals with large subject, touching the problems that vex the South at this time the prob lens of illiteracy. child labor. negro and kindred subjects and handles the subjects in such a way as to form necessary background of information to those who wish to do Home Mission work in the South"
 In closing her review, she heartily commended the book to the Home Mis- sion workers of all churches and said that she felt great good would come of It's perusal by those interested in that work.

should not recommend any and every young woman. who had expressed a desire to serve the Lord. Some can serve the Lord more efficiently In the home or in the church, than in public service.
 She reported on different endow- ments and scholarships and ,said that the efficiency of the work would be largely increased.
 Many young women have worked their way through the school. Eigh- teen young women will be graduated from the school Twelve of these will be graduated from the Bible Depart ment and six as nurses.
 She gave figures. showing results at institution. She then related a num- Der of incidents of good work done and closed by asking for the prayers of her hearers.
 Miss Mary Helm reported from the Inter er-Denominational Home Mission Book Board. She said that this organization of Southern Methodists. Northern Methodists. Baptists and Presbyterians was doing q good work in publishing and distributing litera- ture.
 Devotional Services.
 Dr. H. Styles Bradley. of Atlanta. who Is conducting the daily devotional hour. is speaking on each of the Beati- tudes. His subject yesterday was Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted. He said that this had been construed to mean blessed are they that mourn for their sins for they shall find pardon of God" He did not mean that. but he contended that 1t meant much more.
 Jesus was a careful speaker and he meant what he said, when he said the word translated mourn" The origi- nal word meant more than our mourn" It meant to suffer from sudden shock. The lesson of this beatitude is the capacity of a man to suffer Is his life's capacity. On this thought pr. Bradley enlarged and in a learned and thorough discourse made a lasting impression on his audience.

WOMEN MAKE REPORT
 OF HOME MISSION WORK

paien in Kansas City, the students were assigned to work around the po- lice stations. There they met every class of humanity and good work was done on 500, thieves, vagabonds. mur- derers and drunkards.
 The City Mission Board of Kansas City, is now erecting 8 $50,000 open church. This church will have day nursery, a free medical dispensary, a boys club, a kitchen and dinging room, a kindergarten and lodging rooms, be- sides the regular church and Sunday School auditorium.
 There would be work for i've addi- tional deaconesses, Miss Howard said. She explained that the work was large ly among boys, as girls seldom ap- peared in the police courts, the par ticular field of labor. The Methodist City Mission Board was receiving the aid and cooperation of the Episcopa- Hans, Baptists and Christian congrega- tions. The open church. inaugurated by the Methodists would receive sup port of practically all denominations.
 By numerous questions. 1t was evinced that the remarks of Miss How ell had aroused unusual interest.
 She said that one of the crying needs of the present was a library fund for the home. in order that the inmates might have the benefit of the current magazines and standard literature.
 Another need was the installation of a department of manual training. This could be installed with little expense, and would be of inestlmable benefit to the institution.
 The last and greatest need was young women of consecrated spirit and determined character to carry on the work. She urged the Conference cor responding secretaries to give her the names of such young women.
 Resolutions of regret on account of the absence of Mrs. J. D. Hammond of Nashville, Tenn, who could not attend on account of sickness. were passed.

 Miss Mabel Howard reported from the Department of Sociology of the Scarritt Bible and Training School Kansas City. She reported that al- though there were not as many candi- dates for confirmation of deacopesses as she had hoped. she believed that the work had been thorough and conse- Nrated women would be ordained, who are thoroughly trained in church work.
 The instruction, she said, had been along both theoretical and practical lines. Along the practical lines the students had the opportunity to do rescue work in Kansas City and had done especially good work among chil- dren of the criminal class. They had also been thoroughly trained in the conduct of a Home and in the detail work of missions.
