decidedly interesting In her address
and her remarks aroused much fervor
among the hearers for the cause she
so eloquently represented. She, Meth.
odist fashion, took up collection al
the close OF her excellent speech, for
the cause OF missions and told her
hearers that if they wanted to help in
the good cause they could not only
put in any cash they might have al
their disposal, but that in case they
had not the ready cash and wanted to
have part in the work. they might
donate jewelry or articles of that
nature. As result of this unique
announcement. handsome diamond
ring was found in the collection box,
but the donor was unknown, In fact
