MANNING AUXILIARY

ADAlAIAN X
MY DEAR SISTERS.
We are in the last month OF
our 3rd quarter. AS soon as the
meeting for August is held. we
are to make another report. l
hope it will show progress along
all lines. I have visited some OF
our Auxiliaries and know they
are growing.
In Marion District four new
ones have joined our ranks and
we are delighted to have them:
Dillon Mills, Clio, Zion and Pine
Hill. Latta has also been re-or-
ganized, and taken a fresh start.
The secretary o. this district, &C
cording to the "Rules for Dis
trict Secretary" as laid own by
the Broad aud printed in the
front of her Record Book, held a
District Meeting in the town of
Latta, July 20-21. It was well
planned for, and was a greatsuc-
cess. I wish one could be held
in all our districts.
Harper has been added to the
Summerville list, and Hartsville
to that of Florence, making a to-
tai addition of l02 members.
We all have been saddened by
the death of our First Vice Pres
ident, Mrs. VIM. T. Capers A
sweet-spirited, consecrated, IN
teIligent worker has been taken
from US. Our President, Mrs.
W. L. Wait. at the advice of her
physicians, is taking an enforced
rest, seeking to regain stre9gth
lost during a recent illness. Let
us remember her in our prayers.
In a little more than two
months, our Annual Meeting is
to be held in Manning. DR.. H.
W. Bays, Presiding Elder of the
districts in which we meet, is to
preach for us on Sunday. Mrs.
| r. W. MacDonnell. of Nashville,
Tenn, our General Secretary,
promises to be with US. She
asks me to invite two delegates
from each Auxiliary to be pres
ent, and by the authority of our
hospitable hostness at Manning,
I beg for a large representation
of our ladies. Let US give Mrs.
MacDonnell a larger hearing as
to all the work our organization
undertakes, and learn how urg-
ent is the need for every woman
! of Southern Methodism to ally
herself with the tremendous take
before US that of saving our
own land. Of the eighty mill
ions of people in the United
States, about eighteen millions
| are Protestant Christians; add
inc all who are connected with
any religious organization, Cath
olics, Jews, Mormons, Christians
Scientists, ETC., we have about
thrifty millions, leaving fifty
millions VINO are entirely un-
Identified with any form of
christianity. This vast difference
is constantly increasing. Last
year the foreigner came to us at
the average rate Of $500 per day.
Providence is bringing the ma
tions of the earth to our door
shall we give to them our re-
ligeon, or allows theirs to indu-
ence and pervert ours. This
home mission work bro@;' c,oe the
more we study it. Let US exert
ourselves to interest frieI IS,
and do all we can in the time be-
fore US, to strengthen the Lords
hosts. The greatest need in our
conference is an increased mem
bership.
What are we doing toward ra-
ising anything above our dues:
7 hope we will not forget the
modest amount Of LOO per mem
Der, asked by the Board to help
meet the demands upon them.
Not that every one must pay this
dollar, but that each Auxiliary
try to raise an amount that shall
average this much per member.
Some may not feel able to give
more than the dues, but others
will gladly make up the dlter'
ence.
Would some of US like to have
shares in the new building that
is so much needed to enlarge the
capacity Of our Rescue Home IN
Dallas. Tex: They can be had
for s1.00 per share. Our great,
rich southern church has led the
way in this effort to save unfor-
tunate girls. but do you know
