MISSIONARY CONVENTION.
The Women's Foreign Missionary Socie-
ty of CLARION Presbytery Met in
Brookville,

The twenty ninth annual meeting OF
the Women's Foreign Missionary Soci-
ETY. of Clarion Presbytery was the
occasion of large gathering of ladies
at Brookville on May Both and 3lst.
The beautiful new church was decorat-
ed for our reception and the homes gave
hospitable welcome to about seventy
five delegates and officers, and goodly
number of visitors
The devotional service led by MRS.
Conway was helpful. Attention was
called to the responsibility of the church
as a whole, every local church, and
every member of church to evangelize
the world.
Mrs. Il. B. Teitrick gracefully ex-
tended to the members of convention a
cordial greeting, which was fifty re-
sponded to by the presiding officer,
Mrs. S. A. Cornelius.
Wednesdays popular session was
presided over by the pastor of the
convention church, DIR. Conway.
The speaker of the evening needed
not an introduction to any body of
people in Clarion Presbytery, DR..
Hunter Corbett. This address was a
powerful one and to look into his face
was to believe There. is no JOY like the
Joy Of winning souls" His closing plea
was ''allow me to tell the Chinese you
love them and are praying for them"
The prayer service conducted by Mrs.
A. d. Mckay, of Reynoldsville, brought
us very near to the feet of Christ and
inspired us with the desire to conform
our lives to His will, to make them a
song of joy no matter what the burden,
what the grief.
The roll call of auxiliaries' bands and
G. ELS was responded to with Scripture
verses. The treasurer, Mrs. Hindman,
gave the receipts for the year So, ,703.30.
The treasurer's report may seem to
some to be made up Of dry facts but how
much of sacrifice is sometimes hidden
by these cold figures, sacrifice that is
pleasing to our Master. The reports
that were brought in by the different
secretaries were encouraging.
A vote was taken in reference to Joint
conventions and was carried. A con-
ference on Y. P. S. G. e. work conduct
ed by Mrs. Richards, of Oil City, was
followed by the noon tide prayer led by
Mrs. N. P. Wheeler. The thank offer
ing service brought into the treasury
$416.17.
Greetings from the M. E., Baptist
and United Presbyterian ladies' societies
OF Brookville were extended through
Mrs. Truman, Mrs. Underwood and
Mrs. Galbraith and all voiced the senti-
ment of oneness in Christ in our efforts
to evangelfze the world.
Mrs. Cornelius reported the Biennial
Meeting at Harrisburg and expressed
her gratitude to the ladies of the Pres
bytery for being made their representa-
tive.
The question box was conducted by
Mrs r. l.. Buzard.
Mrs Gault, of Africa, told us of the
people OF her station, among whom she
has labored for twenty-three years, and
gave to us three special objects of
prayer.
The popular session of Thursday was
presided over by Rev. J. V. Bell,
assisted by Rev. Van Horn.
The address by Rev. France, of La
bore, India, was an able one. He held
the large audience in close attention as
he gave us the history of the Institutes
OF learning in India in one of which he
has taught for three years.
The music throughout the sessions
was good. Miss jerks was the faithful
and efficient pianist. Delightful solos
