Missionary NOrthfleld.

The summer program at Northheld
certainly proves that Mortified believes
in missions. Every one of the seven
gatherings has missionaries on its list of
speakers and two of the Conferences are
wholly devoted to missionary problems.
D. L. Moody, who founded these meet
ings, believed in missions and he had
great stress laid upon them in his two
schools. The Student Volunteer Move
ment was founded at Mount Hermon
during the first session of the Student
Conference, and it is today one of the
few preparatory schools that have a
Volunteer Band. At the girls school
even more missionaries have been sent
out than from Mount Hermon. Mr..
Moody believed in supporting the work
of the organized Mission Boards, and
lent his help to them all, without any
denominational distinction. This inter
est in missions extended to the Confer
ences which Mr.. Moody began, and his
sons today are following his example.
The Women's Home Missionary Con-
ference convened on the 10th. This is
the first year that this young assembly
has met at Mortified 1t isinterdenomi-
national and representatives were
present from nearly all the evangelical
denominations. Its purpose is to train
leaders and arouse interest in the
churches in home missions Leading
workers presented the work among the
Indians, the mountaineers in the South,
the Porto Ricaus, the miners and the
lumbermen.
On the 21st the Women's Foreign
Mission Boards in the United States and
Canada met for their fifth Summer
School, in which Foreign Missions were
treated in similar way. The leading
speakers were Mrs. Helen B. Montgom-
cry, DR.. Ida S. Scudder of India, Mrs.
Benjamin w. Labarree of Persia, and DR..
George H. Jones of Korea. Rev. ].
Stuart Holden of London, conducted
the Bible Study class.
The biggest gathering of the summer,
the General Conference in August, places
much emphasis on missions. Many of
the sunset services on Round Top are
addressed by missionaries and one
entire day is given up to this form of
Christian work. Among the missionary
leaders who will be heard during this
Conference are Rev. John N Forman of
India, Rev. H. 6. Underwood of Korea,
Bishop W. F. Oldham of India, Rev, c. c.
Creegan of the American Board of
Foreign Missions, and Rev. ]. Stuart

A One horse Show.

A team belonging to F. W. Thomas
was struck by the north-bound air line
at the Paddock's Village crossing Friday
afternoon and the wagon was demolish-
ed. Mr.. Thomas left the team standing
in front of his paint shop, but the horse,
apparently in quest of excitement. wan
dered to the track. where he found it.
After the animal had been tossed and
bufetted by the engine, he evidently
thought it was up to him to further en-
terrain the crowd which had gathered,
and concluded the performance with
higtAdive into the Passumpsic river, and
a record swim of 200 yards, from which
the venerable equine emerged badly
bruised and much exhausted, The Bos-
ton & Maine settled with Mr.. Thomas
for damages to wagon and harness.
The horse which is 81 years old is not
especially valuable except from old asso-
Citations, having belonged to the late
Lorenzo Miles and kept since his death
by his family.

Up to the wear 1906 the above men,

last but we trust not least the National
Congregational Brotherhood, which in
a specially called convention of laymen
and pastors of our church in this country
held in Detroit, Michigan last April,
was duly organized.
This Brotherhood comes into being
with the virtual sanction of the Nation
al Council, and the enthusiastic support
of those who have been in closest touch
with the movement. The great oppor-
tunity of Harvesting the men of America
to the Christian Church is before us, we
verify believe. There are arguments to
be met, there are problems to be solved,
but the fact remains that we have an
army of patriots, who want to be or
ganized, disciplined and marshalled into
service. The Congregationalchur ofthe

be daring. Let her go forth to meet her
men and let her show no hesitation in
welcoming them into the arms of this
new fellowship, let her do it now, and

Early Churches,

The first religious service on Manhat-
tan Island was held in the trading post
established by the Dutch in 1914. The
first permanent church organized by Rev
Jonas Michaelus, the first New York pas
tor in 1923, This church, known today
as the Collegiate Church of New York, is
the oldest with a continuous history in
America.
The first place of stated worship was
in the ample loft of a horse mill. The
first church bell in New York captured
by the Dutch in 1925 from the Spaniards
in Porto Rico pealed out its call to wor-
ship from the beliry Of this horse-mill
church.
The first sanctuary erected on Man
haitian Island exclusively for worship
was a wooden edihce built in 1888.
This was followed by a stone structure,
built within the ramparts in 1912,
known as The Church in the Fort"
The tenth building in this historic
series of sanctuaries is the Marble Col
legiate Church, at Fifth Avenue and goth

PRAISE FOR Y. w. c. A.

T doubt if there is a movement among the movements that one can broadly term philanthropic in the country which better deserves the in. terest and support of our people than the movement for Young Women's Christian Associations"
 Thus spoke President Roosevelt to a gathering of prominent young wom- en at Washington, who called at the White House last Tuesday on the Presidents invitation to receive his congratulations on the splendid work being done by the Young Women's Christian Association in that city.
 There has been in the past" con- tinued the President, "a tendency to do more for young men than for young women. I desire to say that this is one of the few gatherings seen in the White House that has come not on it's suggestion, but on mine"

Thousand Club gave reception in Ma sonic Hall.
 The place was a revelation as to what can be accomplished in decora- tive effects in Imperial Valley. It was pretentious enough to have been de nominated a flower show Roses and chrysanthemums were used in great profusion; palm leaves and branches of greenery. asparagus plumosus and ferns found frequent place, and a great bank of blooming shrubs formed a screen for the orchestra. Umbrel- las covered with floral designs formed the canOpies from which refreshments were served.
 A reception committee stood at the doors and greeted the visitors, while young ladies gave to each guest beau tiful roses. To every lady in the party was presented an unique souve- nir-a card upon which was mounted a cotton blossom and boil of cotton, tied with ribbon and bearing the in- scription, "El Centro Cotton; compli ments of the. women's Section, Ten Thousand Club" These souvenirs were eagerly sought and excited much comment. Doubtless they will be car ried back to many communities and will bear evidence of a great staple crop which is to add to Imperial Val ley's fame.
