personality of the delegates who are in

In the Presbyterian church last night
a crowded congregation heard with in
terest and pleasure the superb talks of
GOV. Glenn and Hon. JAS. r. Young,
State Insurance Commissioner. The
latter vas the first speaker, and he
made a strong appeal to the Presby-
terry and all present in behalf of Peace
Institute. Mr.. Young is a pleasing
speaker and his short but powerful adj
dress was well received and very eff
f~ective.
At the conclusion of MIR. Young's
splendid address, Miss Rachel Moye
Borden sang q most beautiful and APP
propriate solo, "Abide With Me-"
which lent a peculiar inspiration to the
OCCASION, after which Governor Glenn
arose and began his splendid but short
address, which occupied only about 25
minutes, by saying EVERY moment of
my time is occupied, but nothing has
ever appealed to me more than the
subject which I now present. With
this brief in~troductioni of this subject
e delivered one of the ablest and
most beautiful addresses, considering
the limited time allowed, ever deliv-
cred in this charch, He made an
earnest eloquently persuasive appeal
to his hearers, advocating the pur-
chase of Peace Institute as a college
for the young women of the Presby-
terrain church of the State, and gave
a number of facts and figures to sup
port his contention, which had great
weight with his hearers, as the intense
interest manifested ~eloquently attest
ed.

Raleigh and leaves today for the open
ing of the jamestown Exposition.
While here Gov. Glenn was the guest

'tNIadam President and members of
the Missionary Union of the Albemarle
P~resbytery: The pleasant duty Of Civ
ing a report to your Union Of the work
our Auxiliary is doing, has been as
signed me by our President. / wish
thai I were able to tell you of great
things we are accomplishing, but I can
not do this, I will speak Of the little
that we do, with a hope that it will be
as a tiny seed that will grow and
broaden until at last, at the Harvest,
there will be many sheaves in our
Masters Kingdom as a result of our
endeavors WO have no Home Mis-
sionary Society, therefore our work is
especially directed in the interest Of
those in heather countries. We have
So members enrolled and most Of these
are active workers, responding readily
to any call made upon their time or
means. The mount collected last
year in dues, thank offerings and spec
ial donations amounted to nearly $500.
Eight new members were added dur
ing the past year and we have every
reason to feel that the work is increas-
ing in interest, but while we are en-
couraged and feel gratified at the pres
ent outlook, we are anxious and g
for more glorious and grander results
from our 1abors.
