full financial campaign. AS one member
of the committee expressed it informal
ly, Tell them we are pleased and
proud" My second word is sympathy.
The executive committee sympathizes
with all workers everywhere in their
joys and in their problems. Your work
is ours.
The third word Of my message is
sympathize. AS your work Is ours, so
oug work is yours, our joys, our bur-
dens. Some may say that the work is
divided among the different branches,
and each needs to bear simply it's own
burden. But it is the unassumed por-
ton that wears on the committee. The
stations calling for workers to take
places made vacant by illness or death,
others calling for new workers to meet
the growing demands of the work, still
others needing new or enlarged build
ings or other equipment-this is the
burden which we ask you to share with
US. Such messages as one received
yesterday from Foochow are for you as
we'll as for us. The girls in the school
there, without a teacher, in sending a
gift of eight dollars for work in Africa,
write: please tell the ladies that we
do not blame them for not sending a
teacher, but please ask them to try
again, and try little harder
We want you also to share our joys.
Here is another message received yes
terday, which is to you with us. 1t is
from one Of our Bible women in India:
IA Hindu woman came to me and said;
| We like to hear yohr stories about God.
Our gods have no power. If you tell us
about your great Master we will Wor-
ship Him"
Let us not be pessimistic because
there Is more work to be done, but
rather let us thank God for opening
doors, and let us give ourselves contin-
ually to the ministry Of service that the
open door may be entered.
Miss Calder also made an address at
the afternoon session, speaking espe-
cially of the Student Volunteer conven-
ton at Nashville and making an i'm
pressive appeal to young women to be
willing to enter upon Christian service
anywhere. This spirit of willingness
transformed all service.
The morning session concluded with
devotional service led by Mrs. Rufus
w. Bunnell, of Stratford. Her theme
followed the general topic of the day,
1.-THE Time of Harvest"
The very timely and able address of
J Rev. E. S. Hume will be given to-mor-
row.
4 The lntermission was greatly enjoyed
as a social hour, affording opportunity
for conference upon practical affairs.
Miss Juliette ellison, Of Melsetter, At
RIGA, was the missionary speaker Of the
afternoon. She described Rhodesia as
large as France and Germany, contrast
ed the time when Livingston discovered
Victoria Falls-that great natural Won
der, twice as wide as Niagara, twice as
high and having four times the volume
of water-with the present time when
the great bridge was dedicated. The
| entire Scientific English association
were taken on a four days journey to
| participate in the ceremony. Palace
cars with every luxury were placed at
their disposal, and at Buluwayo, Fort
Salisbury and every stopping place they
found all the appointments of modern
! civilization. She described the location,
beginning and growth Of the East Cen
trail African mission. The industrial
department was an adjunct of the
] school from the beginning. In short
time those East African boys had
learned to make bricks, to saw lumber
