MISS DAISY DAVIES.
Excellent Address in Central Method
ist Church on Monday Evening
by Charming Speaker.

On Monday night IN Central Meth
odist church Miss Daisy Davies, of
Atlanta, Ga., who is sent out by the
Woman's Board of Foreign Missions,
Of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, in the interest of young peo-
ple. gave a most interesting address.
Miss Davies is a strong, forceful
speaker, and adapts herself we'll to
the audience she is addressing. She
said in the course of her rem'uks that
the two greatest movements in the
church in recent years are the young
peoples movement for the promotion
of missions, which began about slx
years ago, and the laymen's move
ment, which began about three Years
ago. Up to within about SIX Or seven
years past the matter Of missions had
not received any special attention at
the hands Of these two mighty forces.
The women alone, with here and there
a few exceptions, seemed to carry
the great responsibility of sending
the gospel to the heathen or those
who knew it not. Miss Davies thinks
that the awakening Of the young peo-
pie and the men ITO this great cause is
due largely to the prayers and the
untiring zeal of the devoted women
who labored on through years Of hard
ship and often times Encouragement,
for this the promotion Of missions.
She showed in very clear way the
startling difference between the op-
portunities for Christian living here
and in the foreign land. All doors are
open now, however, to the preaching
OF the inspired Word, and the two
needs now are the messengers to go
with the glad tidngs and the money
to plant the "red-stained banner of
the cross in every land that knows
it not, and in the hearts Of the people
to SOW the seed Of Righteousness that
will bring to all eternal life. "We
have Christ and they have mot that
is the difference, she said, between
tile Christians Of any land and the
degraded idol worshi'ppers Of far4
away hmeathendom. Therefore, out
of sheer gratitude it behooves US to
do our duty, to exercise our privilege,
in helping to proclaim to these be-
nighted the plans of salvation, and
to irelp show a sIn-lost world the
way to find forgiveness, peace, and
happiness, and at last to gain the
Heavenly home and to abide in the
light and smile of a Saviour's love.
Miss Davies left Newberry Tues
day morning for Greenville, where
she spoke on Tuesday night. On We'd
nesday might she spoke in Bethel
c!.:*,reh in Spartanburg, and then she
went to Columbia, and from there she
goes to Bates5t.rg, and will be at the
district conference which the Wo-
mans Foreign Missionary Society
Will hold at that place the Last Of the
week. After that she will visit Char
lesion and other cities in the State up
to the last week in February, when
she is ITO 60 to Boston to represent
the Woman's Board of Foreign Mis-
sions of the Methodist Church,
South, at the international meeting
of the Woman s. Foreign Missionary
Societies of the United States and
Canada.
The Rev. DR.. Hallman, of the Spar
tanburg Lutheran church, heard the
address of Miss Davies at Greenwood
last Sunday, and Spartanburg paper
reports Dr. Hallman as saying that it
is the finest address on missions to
which it has ever been his pleasure to
listen.
