Missionary Society of the North Con.
gregational church was held at the home
of Mrs. Charles M. Craig Tuesday even.
ing, May 10th. The meeting was opened
with Scripture reading and prayer, fol.
lowed by the roll call, to which the mem.
bers answered with the name of an
American Board Missionary. The rec.
ords of the last meeting and the annual
report were read by the secretary, Miss
Margaret N. HaZeltine, and Miss Mar
garet A. Dunton read the report as
treasurer, after which the president,
Mrs. Craig, introduced Miss Alice NJ.
Kyle of Boston, field secretary for the
Woman's Board, the speaker for the
evening. Miss Kyle first brought a
greeting from Miss Frances J. Dyer,
whom she left in Boston that morning,
and who sent her love and good wishes
to her friends in Belfast. Miss Kyle
spoke of the great advance in mission
study here in the home land as sig
nificant factor in the work. There are
about 175, 900 young people enrolled in
mission study, including all denomina-
tions. she spoke of the interested
| thousands at home as a background for
the girls who 60, and she interested her
hearers in the latter by mentioning a
| few of the newest recruits. Miss Alice
Brown, herself Mt. Holyoke girl, who
was sent to China by her classmates
and fellow students who still sup
port her, was the first one mentioned,
and among the others were Miss Isabel
Blake, who was sent to Central Turkey;
Miss Elizabeth Perkins, a Maine girl,
who. with Miss Ruth Ward and Miss
Marian McGown, were sent to the Foo
Chow Mission; Miss Elizabeth Viles
and Miss Clara Bruce, who will find
their work in India, and Miss Helen
Meserve, who will go to a girls school
in Mexico in the fall. Since the begin
ming of the student volunteer move
ment, n years ago, $500 volunteers
have gone to the mission field; but Miss
Kyle said that AS important as the
sailed volunteers are the recruits
who are being sought today to fill the
many vacancies. At the close of Miss
kyle's most interesting address, Miss
Avis Morrison gave the report of the
nominating committee, recommending
that the present officers be retained for
the coming year, and they were elected,
as follows: President, Mrs. Charles NJ.
Craig; Vice President, Miss Mabel r.
Mathews: Secretary, Miss Margaret n.
Hazeltine; Treasurer, Miss Margaret
A. Dunton. Light refreshments were
served and an informal social hour fol-
lowed, during which many learned with
regret that Miss Ellen Nj. Stone, who
was heard with SO much interest here
last fall, is seriously i'll as result of
the Chelsea fire, in which she lost all
her household effects and some very
valuable manuscripts. Miss Stone made
an effort to get to her home to save
some of her belongings, and the smoke
and the nervous strain combined to
bring on a severe illness. She was
about to start on trip around the
world in the interest of the temperance
movement under the auspices of the
w. c. T. T., after which she was to
remain in Bulgaria to resume her mis-
sion work. Her many friends all over
the world hope for her speedy restora-
ton to health and strength.
WHY SLOAN'S IMMINENT AND VET
Urinary REMEDIES ARE THE BEST
TO USE.
Let me tell you why Sloan's Liniment
and Veterinary Remedies are the safest
and most practical on the market today. In
the first place, Dr.. Earl S. Sloan is the son
of a veterinary surgeon, and from his earli-
est infancy he was associated with horses.
He bought and sold horses while yet very
young. lie practised as a veterinary for
twenty years, and has battled successfully
with every disease to which that animal is
subject.
All his remedies are the result of eX-
