The thirty-ffth anniversary of the
Woman S Board OF Missions of the Pa

Heavenly Father for His abundant mer

with Christ in the glory that is to be
revealed

full outlook toward the future ''For-
ward the watchword of the past
year, has been steadily in our minds
and partially realized The increase in
membership has begun and much is ex
pected from the endeavors of our mem
bership committee through the coming
year. No one need hesitate to bring a
friend even though she is not especially
appointed on this committee. Begin to-
day to invite your neighbor and be sure
to join yourself. The Secretary has
just told US that the average attend
ance has fallen from 81, the previous
year, to SO. Let us determine to be
present and bring friend if possible
every meeting throughout the coming
year, SO as to repeat the record of So,
the highest average attendance of any
one year in our history.

enlarging our numbers | have made a
study of our life membership. AS far
as we have any records fully II per

as 81 per cent. of the entire list reside
out of town and number are children,

find that 66 per cent. of our resident

carrying on the work of the Board so

through our annual report we are proud
of the long list of life members, but
when we realize that only % per cent
of this splendid array are helping finan-
chilly to carry on the work, the convic-
ton arises that a determined effort
should be made not only to increase the
number of our givers but also to create
sentiment among our resident life
members that should lead them all to
contribute annually.
In this connection pardon sugges-
ton In printing our membership list
might it not be we'll to give the first
place to the names of those who by
their contributions are actively carry
