Annual Meeting.

The annual meeting of the Metho-
dist Women's Foreign Missionary
society was held in the church din
ing room last Tuesday. Mesdames
Hubbard and Sour, the hostesses of
the day, had by the aid of rugs,
rockers and flowers made the pro-
sale apartment into an elegant re-
ception room. There were many
visitors present in addition to the
membership.
Mesdames Gold, Tiffany and Root
led in the devotional service. Roll
call responses were just what each
one chose to give. Mrs. Lusk re-
sponded with letter from mis-
sionary describing the work of six
Bible women who are employed by
this district to work in India. When
they first commence to work for
Christ in a village every door is
closed against them. After awhile
a woman's weekly report will read
about like this: &c houses visited.
SO persons taught of the better life,
also 3 Sunday schools held in which
were 76 children. These villages
sometimes have 1000 inhabitants,
and usually the only Christians are
the Bible-woman and her family.
They must have many temptations
to return to the old customs and
beliefs; but they go steadily on
spreading "the leaven Of the king
dom" and after awhile we trust
"the whole will be leavened." It
is a great satisfaction to have one
of these women working in our
stead in that far off land, and it
costs only $50 or $50 year.
Election Of officers followed. Mrs.
Gold earnestly recommended the
women to choose some one else to
steer the society this year, so that
she might take a back seat, and
rest. The members wisely declined
her counsel, as in the past six or
seven years good speed has been
developed, there have been no COLI
sions or mishaps and it was safest
to make no change. The officers
